When to Wear These Pieces
Rest day clothing earns its place in your wardrobe by being genuinely versatile. Wear it during active recovery sessions like yoga, stretching, or light walks.

These pieces work for the in-between moments that make up most of your week. Throw on joggers and a tee for grocery runs, weekend brunches, or evenings at home. The relaxed fit and breathable fabrics mean you can wear them all day without feeling restricted, while the clean design keeps you looking sharp.

FAQs
How do rest day pieces fit compared to regular activewear?
Rest day clothing typically has a more relaxed fit than performance gear. While training pieces are often designed to sit close to the body for support during movement, rest day items give you more room and a looser silhouette. Think of it as the difference between compression leggings and casual joggers—both serve a purpose, but rest day pieces prioritise comfort over athletic performance. Check the size guide for specific measurements, but generally you can stick with your usual size for a comfortable, unrestricted fit.
Can I wear rest day clothing for actual workouts?
While these pieces are designed for recovery and casual wear, they'll handle light activity like stretching, yoga, or walking without any issues. The fabrics are breathable and allow good range of movement. However, for intense training sessions or high-impact workouts, you'll want to switch to performance-specific gear that offers more support and moisture-wicking properties. Rest day clothing shines during active recovery, warm-ups, cool-downs, and everything you do outside the gym.
How should I care for these items to make them last?
These pieces are designed to be low-maintenance. Machine wash them in cold water with similar colours, and tumble dry on low or hang to dry. The fabrics are built to withstand regular washing without losing their shape or softness. Avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce breathability over time. Because the materials are durable and the construction is solid, you won't need to baby these items—they're made for frequent wear and easy care.
What makes rest day clothing different from regular casual wear?
The key difference is in the design and fabric choices. Rest day pieces use materials that offer more stretch, breathability, and moisture management than standard casual clothing. The cuts are designed to allow unrestricted movement, making them better suited for light activity or recovery sessions. They bridge the gap between pure performance gear and everyday clothes, giving you functionality when you need it and comfort when you don't.
Who designs Myprotein's rest day collection?
All Myprotein clothing, including the rest day range, is created by our in-house design team. They focus on understanding what athletes and fitness enthusiasts actually need during recovery and downtime, then translate that into pieces that work in real life. The result is clothing that's functional without being overly technical, comfortable without looking sloppy, and versatile enough to earn regular rotation in your wardrobe.
How do I style rest day pieces for everyday wear?
The minimalist design of these items makes them easy to work with. Pair joggers with a simple tee or tank for a relaxed look, or layer with a hoodie or zip-up when it's cooler. The neutral colourways mean you can mix and match without overthinking it. For a put-together casual outfit, try joggers with a clean white tee and trainers. The key is keeping it simple—these pieces are designed to work as basics, so let the quality and fit do the talking rather than overcomplicating the outfit.
Are these pieces suitable for different body types?
The relaxed fit is designed to work across a range of body shapes. The joggers feature an elasticated waistband and tapered leg that adapts to different proportions, while tees and tanks offer a comfortable drape without clinging or bagging. If you prefer a closer fit, you might size down, but the standard sizing is cut to give you room without looking oversized. Check the size guide for specific measurements to find your best fit.
Can I wear these pieces for travel or long journeys?
Absolutely. The soft fabrics, unrestricted fit, and breathable construction make rest day clothing ideal for flights, long drives, or train journeys. The pieces pack easily without wrinkling badly, and they're comfortable enough to wear for extended periods. Joggers and tees are particularly popular travel choices because they let you move freely through airports or stations while still looking presentable. Plus, they transition easily from travel mode to exploring once you reach your destination.
