Rest Day
Shop Rest Day Clothing at Myprotein
Rest days are just as important as training days, and what you wear should reflect that balance between recovery and readiness. This collection brings together comfortable, versatile pieces designed for those essential off-duty hours when you're letting your body recharge. From soft joggers to relaxed hoodies, every item here works whether you're running errands, stretching at home, or simply lounging between sessions.
Built with the same attention to detail as our training range, these pieces use breathable fabrics and relaxed cuts that give you freedom to move without restriction. They're the kind of clothes you'll reach for on Sunday mornings, during travel days, or any time you want comfort without sacrificing that athletic edge.
Who This Collection Is For
This range suits anyone who understands that progress happens during recovery, not just in the gym. If you're training regularly and need comfortable gear for the days in between, these pieces fit seamlessly into that routine. They work for early-career gym-goers building consistent habits and experienced athletes who know the value of proper rest alike.
The collection also appeals to those who want athletic-inspired style without performance-specific features. If you appreciate the look and feel of sports clothing but need something more laid-back for daily wear, these pieces bridge that gap perfectly. They're for people who move between different parts of their day without needing to change.
Perfect For Any Occasion
These pieces shine during active recovery sessions like yoga, walking, or light stretching where you want comfort and ease of movement. They're equally at home during weekend activities, coffee runs, or casual social plans when you want to look put-together without overthinking it. The relaxed fits and neutral colours mean you can throw them on and head out the door.
Travel days are where this collection really proves its worth. Long flights, road trips, or commutes become more bearable in soft, non-restrictive fabrics that don't wrinkle easily. They also work brilliantly for working from home, giving you that comfortable but focused feeling that joggers and leggings somehow deliver better than regular loungewear.
Key Features
Relaxed, Non-Restrictive Fits
These pieces use looser cuts than typical training gear, giving you room to move naturally without any tightness or compression. Elasticated waistbands, dropped shoulders, and roomy legs mean you can sit, stretch, or sprawl out on the sofa without adjusting anything. The fits are designed to feel easy, not sloppy.
Soft, Breathable Fabrics
The materials here prioritise comfort over performance. Brushed cotton blends, lightweight jersey, and soft fleece create that broken-in feeling straight out of the packet. These fabrics breathe well enough for light activity but feel gentle against skin during downtime. They're the textures you want when you're unwinding.
Versatile, Wearable Colours
The palette sticks to classic neutrals like black, grey marl, and navy that pair with everything in your wardrobe. These aren't statement pieces demanding attention but foundational items that work with whatever else you're wearing. The simplicity makes getting dressed effortless, whether you're layering up or keeping it minimal.
Practical, Everyday Details
Features like deep pockets, adjustable drawstrings, and ribbed cuffs add functionality without fuss. Hoods provide extra warmth when you need it, while drop armholes and wider necklines keep things relaxed. These are the small touches that make clothing feel genuinely useful rather than just decorative.

FAQs
How do these pieces fit compared to training gear?
Rest day clothing runs more relaxed than our performance range. Joggers have a comfortable taper rather than a slim fit, hoodies sit looser through the body, and tanks feature dropped armholes for unrestricted movement. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down, though most people find their usual size works perfectly for that intended laid-back feel.
What materials are used in this collection?
The range uses soft cotton blends, lightweight jersey, and brushed fleece depending on the piece. These fabrics prioritise comfort and breathability over technical performance features. They're gentle against skin, easy to care for, and maintain their shape and softness through regular washing.
How should I care for these items?
Machine wash cold with similar colours and tumble dry on low or hang to dry. The fabrics are designed to withstand regular washing without excessive shrinkage or pilling. Avoid fabric softeners on any pieces with elasticated waistbands as they can break down the elastic over time. Iron on low heat if needed, though most items look fine straight from the dryer.
Can I wear these pieces for light workouts?
Whilst they're designed primarily for rest days and casual wear, these pieces work fine for gentle activities like walking, stretching, or yoga. The fabrics breathe well enough for light movement, though they lack the moisture-wicking properties of dedicated training gear. For anything intense, you'll want to switch to performance-specific clothing.
Who designs Myprotein clothing?
All Myprotein clothing, including this rest day collection, is designed by our in-house team. They work closely with athletes and customers to understand what people actually need from their sportswear and casual pieces, then translate that feedback into practical, wearable designs that balance style with functionality.
How do I style these pieces for everyday wear?
The neutral colours make styling straightforward. Pair joggers with simple tees or tanks for a relaxed look, or dress them up slightly with a fitted jumper and trainers. Hoodies work over anything from casual shirts to basic vests. The key is keeping things simple and letting the comfortable, athletic aesthetic speak for itself without overthinking combinations.
Are these pieces suitable for travel?
Absolutely. The soft fabrics resist wrinkling better than many casual clothes, and the comfortable fits make long journeys more bearable. Joggers pack down small, hoodies double as blankets or pillows in a pinch, and the versatile colours mean you can mix and match with minimal pieces. They're ideal for flights, road trips, or any travel where comfort matters.
Will these items shrink after washing?
Minimal shrinkage may occur after the first wash, which is normal for cotton-blend fabrics. Washing cold and tumble drying on low helps minimise this. The pieces are cut with slight allowance for this natural process, so they should maintain their intended fit through regular wear and washing. If you're between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, sizing up provides extra insurance.
