athletic apparel

Exercise outfit category

Athletic apparel is clothing designed for sports and exercise—shorts, jerseys, moisture-wicking shirts, compression garments, and the like.

Much athletic apparel is worn casually by people with no intention of breaking a sweat: She changed into athletic apparel for the flight.
