How Much Money Does Grinding Gear Games Make

Designers Get Into the Athletic Gear Game

These sporty clothes from some of our favorite designers are stylish enough to go anywhere.

The suit you can actually move in: a jacket so roomy, you push up the sleeves for a power walk during lunch. Plus, shorts in a relaxed fit.

Blazer, DKNY, $445; Belk. Green swimsuit, $96, and yellow swimsuit, $96, DKNY; 800-231-0884. Shorts, DKNY, $235; Net-A-Porter.com. Visor, $150; TracyWatts.com. Watch, Omega, $4,900; OmegaWatches.com for stores. Cuff, $195; CCSkye.com
Sporty doesn't mean tomboy. A fitted knit top shows curves; a neoprene skirt gives surf style a new, flirty shape.

Top, skirt, bracelet and shoes, Tommy Hilfiger; 212-223-1824 for similar styles. Sunglasses, Le Specs, $69; Zappos.com. Watch, Puma, $95; Nordstrom.com. Ring, $295; Ippolita.com

Take a see-through dress out to the field with a casual warm-up jacket. It keeps you from feeling overexposed.

Jacket, Adidas Originals, $75; Adidas.com. Dress, Milly, $375; MillyNY.com. Briefs, Milly; MillyNY.com for similar styles. Sunglasses, $207; ItaliaIndependent.com. Necklace, Sara Designs, $139; 646-688-5557. Bag, $225; MZWallace.com. Watch, $169; Nike.com. Bracelet, $13; UrbanExpressions.net
A mix of athletic textures plays well together when they're on the same color team.

Vest, $525, tunic, $275, and skirt, $195; RebeccaTaylor.com. Sunglasses, $207; ItaliaIndependent.com. Necklace, Bond Hardware, $135; V Files, 212-804-6400. Bracelet, Diane von Furstenberg by H.Stern, price upon request; HStern.net
Match point: Wear it like a uniform or pair the jacket with dark jeans and the shorts with a fitted tank.

Jacket, $250, and shorts, $225, Lacoste; Shop.Lacoste.com. Necklace, $195, and shoes, $335; ToryBurch.com. Watch, Folli Follie, $325; 212-780-5555. Bracelet, Miansai by Michael Saiger, $365; Miansai.com. Bag, $707; AngelJackson.com

A wind-breaker gives you cover without the bulkiness of a sweater or coat. For an updated take, look for something that shows what's underneath.

Jacket, Adidas by Stella McCartney, $250; Adidas.com. Sweater, $320; HelmutLang.com. Skirt, Guess, $59; Macy's. Necklace, $395, and bag, $525; ToryBurch.com. Watch, $300; Nixon.com

You don't have to stick to just one gym-inspired piece—go all in! But do dress it up with heels for a date (stash the sneakers in your backpack).

Tank, $148, and skirt, $198, Rebecca Minkoff; 212-677-7829. Visor, August Accessories, $38; 212-967-8065. Necklace, Sara Designs, $139; 646-688-5557. Watch, Rado, $4,300; Macy's. Backpack, Juicy Couture Sport, $148; JuicyCouture.com. Shoes, Ivanka Trump, $160; Bloomingdale's
