Men's Rest Day Gym Clothes

Shop Men's Rest Day Clothing at Myprotein

Rest days are just as important as training days, and what you wear during recovery matters. Our men's rest day collection brings together comfortable, versatile pieces designed for downtime, light movement, and everything between sessions. From soft joggers to relaxed hoodies, each piece is built to feel effortless while looking sharp enough for life outside the gym.

These aren't just loungewear basics. The collection features thoughtful details like adjustable drawcords, dropped armholes for natural movement, and fabrics that hold their shape wash after wash. Whether you're stretching, running errands, or simply taking it easy, these pieces move with you without restriction.

Who This Collection Is For

This range suits anyone who trains hard and values proper recovery. If you're putting in consistent sessions at the gym, on the track, or in the studio, rest days are where progress actually happens. What you wear during that time should support relaxation without sacrificing quality or fit.

It's equally suited to those who want functional, comfortable clothing that works across multiple settings. The clean designs and neutral tones make these pieces easy to style, whether you're heading to a casual meet-up, working from home, or warming up before your next session.

When to Wear These Pieces

Rest day clothing shines during active recovery sessions like yoga, stretching routines, or light walking. The relaxed fits allow full range of motion without feeling restrictive, while the breathable fabrics keep you comfortable during gentle movement. These pieces also work well for post-workout cooldowns when you want to slip into something more comfortable straight from the changing room.

Beyond recovery, this collection fits seamlessly into everyday life. The joggers and hoodies are ideal for commuting, weekend errands, or simply unwinding at home. The classic styling means you can wear them confidently outside training environments without looking like you've just left the gym.

Key Features

Soft, Durable Fabrics

The collection uses cotton-rich blends that feel soft against the skin while maintaining structure. These fabrics resist pilling and hold their shape through repeated washing, so your rest day essentials stay looking fresh season after season.

Relaxed, Functional Fits

Each piece is cut with comfort in mind, offering relaxed silhouettes that don't feel baggy or shapeless. Adjustable drawcords, ribbed cuffs, and dropped armholes provide customisable comfort and unrestricted movement whether you're stretching or settling in for the evening.

Versatile Styling Options

Neutral colourways like black, navy, and grey marl make these pieces easy to mix and match with your existing wardrobe. The clean, minimal branding keeps the look understated, so you can dress them up with trainers and a jacket or keep it casual with slides and a cap.

Practical Details

Secure zip pockets keep essentials safe during light activity. Reinforced stitching at stress points adds durability where it's needed most. These thoughtful touches ensure the clothing performs as well as it looks, day after day.

FAQs

How do the rest day joggers fit?

The joggers offer a relaxed fit through the thigh with a tapered leg that sits neatly at the ankle. They're not skin-tight but they're shaped enough to avoid looking baggy. The elasticated waistband with adjustable drawcord lets you fine-tune the fit around your waist. If you're between sizes, most people find their usual size works well, but sizing up gives a slightly looser, more relaxed feel.

What fabric is used in this collection?

The range uses predominantly cotton-rich blends, typically around 80% cotton with polyester for shape retention and durability. This combination provides the soft, breathable feel of cotton while maintaining structure through repeated washing. The fabric weight is substantial enough to feel quality without being heavy or restrictive.

Can I machine wash these pieces?

Yes, all items in the rest day collection are machine washable. Wash at 30 degrees with similar colours and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce the fabric's natural breathability over time. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. The cotton blend holds up well to regular washing without excessive shrinkage or fading.

Are these pieces suitable for light training?

The rest day range is designed primarily for recovery and casual wear rather than intense training. The relaxed fits and cotton-heavy fabrics work well for yoga, stretching, walking, or cooldowns, but they're not built for high-intensity sessions where you need moisture-wicking performance fabrics. For serious training, the dedicated gym wear range offers more technical construction.

How do the hoodies layer with other pieces?

The hoodies have a relaxed fit that layers comfortably over t-shirts or tank tops without feeling bulky. The sleeves are cut generously enough to accommodate base layers underneath, while the body provides enough room to move freely. They work well under lightweight jackets too, making them versatile transition pieces across seasons.

Who designs the Myprotein clothing range?

All Myprotein apparel, including the rest day collection, is designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. They focus on creating functional, durable pieces that balance performance features with everyday wearability, drawing on feedback from athletes and regular gym-goers to refine fits and construction details.

What's the difference between the black and grey marl joggers?

The fit, fabric, and construction are identical between the two colourways. Black offers a sharper, more versatile look that works across almost any outfit combination. Grey marl has a softer, more casual appearance with subtle texture variation in the fabric. Both hide minor marks better than lighter colours and pair easily with the rest of the collection.

Do the shorts have pockets?

Yes, the rest day sweatshorts feature zip pockets to keep small essentials secure during movement. The pockets are positioned at the sides and sit flat against the body so they don't add bulk or bounce around when you're walking or stretching. They're deep enough to hold a phone, keys, or wallet comfortably.
