Walk on By Parka by Volcom
February is one of those awkward months. Depending upon where you live, the weather can be colder than the Arctic one moment and sweat-inducing the next. This sherpa-lined parka from Volcom can act as a warming outer layer to keep you cozy on a chilly winter day, or an easy throw-on when you need something for in-between work and the gym. The stylish leather trim, metal hardware, and convenient abundance of pockets make this ready-for-anything coat our February favorite. ($155, volcom.com)

Align Pant II 25″ by Lululemon
To say that we’re obsessed with the Align Pant from Lululemon would be an understatement. Luxuriously soft, lightweight, and with just the right amount of rise on your hip, we guarantee you’re going to want to live in these after just one test run—just like we did. Made with a Naked Sensation Nulu fabric that’s buttery smooth, sweat-wicking, and flexible, the Align Pant is well worth the investment. ($98, lululemon.com)

AIRism UV Cut Mesh Long-Sleeve T-Shirt by Uniqlo
Sure, we love fancy, flashy gear—but there’s something to be said for good old-fashioned basics that are the staple of your workout wardrobe. Take this high-tech, yet simply styled long-sleeve from Uniqlo, for example: Made with special threads for less friction against the skin, AIRism comfort technology to keep your body feeling cool and sweat-free, and featuring UV Cut tech to protect you from the sun, this top was designed with your everyday routine in mind. And at just under $20, it’s not only a great value, but also something you can purchase in multiples. ($19.90, uniqlo.com)

Hero Strong Bra by Reebok
Chic and supportive, the Hero Strong sports bra from Reebok is just what your boobs need to get through any high-intensity workout or lifting session. Thanks to a snug fit, racerback silhouette, and speedwick technology, this bra helps control both sway and bounce, while helping your body stay cool and dry. The breathable mesh panel also adds a bit of fashionable flair that makes trekking to the gym early in the morning just a little bit more exciting. ($55, reebok.com)

Hudson Scarf by The North Face
There’s nothing worse than stepping out of the gym or a fitness class and, while dripping in sweat, being blasted with cold air. The best prevention? Layering. This soft and casual loop scarf from The North Face is one of the best additions we’ve made to our gym bag lately, thanks to its versatility and durability (it’s designed to stand up to multiple machine washes). Bonus: You can also rock this stylish scarf at work or on a brisk evening out with friends. ($40, thenorthface.com)
