And now, a slightly embellished style history lesson: In recent years, the workout flex has all but superseded airport flex as the stylish guy's low-key way of showing the world exactly how stylish he is. If you can make gym clothes look great, you, friend, are an advanced swerve master. Need to improve your game? Luckily, most of the stuff that'll kick your workout wardrobe into high gear can also be worn on your #restday . Like, for example, the hooded, half-zip windbreaker, a.k.a. an anorak, a.k.a. your dad's favorite jacket, a.k.a. go apologize to your dad because this is your favorite jacket now, too.

Unlike the nondescript Member's Only style windbreaker pops wears, these versions turn the athletic vibes way up with bold colors and graphics, as well as subtle details like racing stripes and drawstrings. They're also lighter in weight, which means you won't sweat anywhere but the gym, and cut more boxy than blouse-y.

Wearing one of these jackets to the gym is easy: just throw one over whatever you're wearing. From basketball shorts and compression tights to sweats, they won't really look bad with anything. For an outing that doesn't involve getting decked out in Lycra, try wearing the jacket with straight jeans or chinos rolled at the ankle and a pair of today's chunky sneakers. The combination is a little bit "dad," we'll admit, but the streamlined design of these items makes it more of a subtle nod than a full-on impersonation. And anyway: dad will be proud.
