Question about workout clothes?

This may seem like a dumb question, but I do not want to buy the wrong type of clothes.

I just signed up for a gym, and have been looking for workout clothes. Which I must say are quite pricey. I notice most workout tee and tanks are 100% cotton. I just bought 2 shirts that are 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Will it make a huge difference? I don't want to be dying from heat in them. I got them from Old Navy, this is one of the shirts to give an idea.

This one in blue:

I was able to find two workout and yoga tops at Winners (I am from canada).

Advice please.

    congrats on the gym membership . when i work out i always feel better and sometimes meet people. the clothes you wear can depend on what your doing and why your going. i dont recommend white clothes because of the transparency factor when wet and because some types of weights can get your clothes dirty. ive seen some women use the trip there as a chance to dress in sexy workout clothes. if your in a class with lots of women some will want to dress up. otrhers dont care much because they are getiing sweaty in the clothes. the blends will not breathe as well but they will not be as transparent. i think the cotton would be good for aerobics.

    I just use a sports bra, basic cotton tee shirts/tank tops. and some cotton gym shorts from targer. It's all very cheap and I actually prefer it over "workout clothes".

    hiya there, i might try employing white vinegar once you wash your outfits. it is going to neutralize the scent on your outfits. you additionally can try baking soda. one element I advise you do is determine your deodorant works with your physique chemistry. i like the unscented types by way of fact I hate the scent of funk blended with fragrance. when I used a deodorant that made my shirts scent like pepper! Into the rubbish it went. it might additionally be the shirt fabric. I used to very own a polo that made me sweat like loopy and reek as quickly as I wore it. I in no way had that venture with the different shirts. So I threw that away besides. take a glance at your shirts and deodorant and spot if that has something to do with it. solid luck!

    It really doesn't matter. Sweats are just as good. It's the concept that people need these new expensive custom cotton clothes. that's not true.

    Your link doesn't work. But I personally don't think it matters what you work out in. I just wear soffee, or nike shorts and a t shirt.

    100% cotton is best cos it's 100% natural and so it's more comfortable
