Similar to the brand’s Faas running shoe line, this lightweight nylon bag makes packing all your gym gear a breeze. We give it bonus points in style for the reflective stripe. Available at Puma.

You decide your design with a ten-swatch color palette as Nike allows you to pair your choice of base color with primary and secondary accents. We suggest the Varsity Crimson or Varsity Royal for a base with either white or black accents. You can even choose the color of the swoosh. Available at Nike.

Herschel Supply Co. Walton weekender bag, $99.

Its bold color-block design will stand out at the gym. Stick with the navy and red if you like to stay on the conservative side; if you want to set the trend in the locker room, go for the teal and taupe. Available at Herschel Supply Co.

Ben Sherman iconic holdall, $110.

Yogis, look no further, because a yoga mat will easily slide into this sleek bag’s full-length zip pocket, while leaving room to store a change of clothes and shoes in one of its many other pockets (including a separate vent compartment). Available at Live Well 360.

Herschel Supply Co. Invitational Novel, $90.

If you have a smelly sneaker problem, this is your duffle—it has a separate storage compartment to keep those trainers at bay. (Although we might suggest investing in some deodorizing sneaker balls, too.) We dig the dignified navy stripes. Available at Herschel Supply Co.
