Who This Collection Is For
This collection is for anyone who understands that training is only part of the equation. Whether you're an avid gym-goer, a runner logging serious mileage, or someone who simply values active recovery, these pieces are designed for the days when you're not pushing your limits. They're for women who want to look put-together without trying too hard.
If you appreciate quality basics that work across multiple settings, you'll find plenty here. These aren't just clothes you throw on when nothing else is clean – they're intentional pieces that bridge the gap between workout wear and everyday style. Perfect for the woman who moves seamlessly between different parts of her day.
When to Wear Rest Day Clothing
Rest day clothing shines during active recovery sessions like yoga, stretching or gentle walks. The relaxed fits and soft fabrics let you move freely without restriction, making them ideal for low-intensity movement that helps your body recover. They're equally suited to post-workout cooldowns when you want something comfortable to change into straight after training.
Beyond recovery, these pieces work brilliantly for everyday life. Wear them for weekend errands, casual coffee dates, or simply lounging at home. The clean designs and quality construction mean they look intentional rather than thrown-together, while the comfort factor makes them hard to take off once you've put them on.

FAQs
How do rest day pieces fit compared to workout clothing?
Rest day clothing typically offers a more relaxed fit than performance workout gear. Expect roomier silhouettes that prioritise comfort over compression, though pieces still maintain a flattering shape. If you're between sizes, your usual size works well, but you might size up if you prefer an even more relaxed feel.
What fabrics are used in the rest day collection?
The collection features soft cotton blends, brushed fleece and stretchy jersey fabrics chosen specifically for comfort. These materials are gentle against your skin, breathable for all-day wear, and durable enough to maintain their softness through regular washing. Most pieces contain a touch of elastane for natural stretch and movement.
Can I wear rest day clothing for gentle workouts like yoga?
Absolutely. Rest day pieces work brilliantly for low-intensity activities like yoga, Pilates, stretching and walking. The stretchy fabrics and relaxed fits allow for full range of movement without restriction. For higher-intensity training, you'll want to switch to dedicated performance pieces designed for sweat-wicking and support.
How should I care for rest day clothing to maintain quality?
Wash rest day pieces in cool water on a gentle cycle to preserve the soft fabrics and maintain shape. Turn items inside out before washing to protect any branding details. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fabric's natural stretch, and air dry or tumble on low heat to prevent shrinkage.
Who designs Myprotein's rest day collection?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates the rest day collection, drawing on feedback from the active community to develop pieces that meet real needs. The team focuses on balancing comfort with style, ensuring every piece works hard across multiple settings whilst maintaining the quality standards Myprotein is known for.
What colours work best for building a versatile rest day wardrobe?
Start with neutral foundations like black, grey marl and navy – these mix effortlessly with everything and hide minor marks between washes. From there, add accent colours that suit your personal style. The beauty of neutral bases is they work together seamlessly, so you can create multiple outfits from fewer pieces.
How do I style rest day pieces for wearing outside the house?
Layer a sweatshirt or hoodie over leggings and add clean trainers for an instantly put-together look. Swap your sports bra for a casual tee underneath for more coverage when needed. The key is keeping things simple – the quality and fit of rest day pieces mean you don't need much else to look intentional rather than purely practical.
Are rest day pieces suitable for travelling?
Rest day clothing is excellent for travel. The pieces pack down small, resist creasing, and work across multiple situations from long flights to exploring new cities. The comfort factor makes them ideal for extended wear, whilst the versatile styling means you can create different looks without packing excessive items.
