Whether you actually hit the gym or do some outdoor activities, all that matters is that you're off your couch and flourishing in fresh air. If you're reading this here that means you're probably fashion-inclined, and maybe what's been holding you back is the propensity of all outdoor activities to be completely and utterly swagless. Well, we've got you covered. Hit the jump for How to Dress for 10 Summertime Activities That Will Get You Off Your Fat Ass. Worry about being sweaty and gross in hundreds of dollars worth of sweg later, floss now.

Football

The only thing besides happy hour that's easy to get your crew stoked for is a game of touch (pause) football.

Running

Nike x Gyakusou Dri-Fit Tank, $54

Nike x Gyakusou Shorts, $160

Nike x Gyakusou Lunarspeed Sneakers, $110

The only gear you need before embarking on a brisk run is Nike and Gyakusou's entire collection, because it's that fire. With a full alphet—tank, shorts, kicks, windbreaker—in a color palette consisting of reds, blues, and for the daring, yellow. Once you cop the uniform in the shade of your choice you probably won't be keen on getting it nasty and sweaty. But you'll be the flyest person on your home treadmill!

Basketball

Stampd LA 99 Tank, $50

Pigalle Jersey Shorts, $163

Nike Elite Socks, $14

Apply full court pressure in the finest hoop-gear streetwear has to offer. As athleticism takes a firm hold in the upper echelon corners of high-end streetwear, it's basketball that has the most applicable items. Drop racks on the right gear to drop 30 on the kids at your local court.

Soccer

2014 U.S. Men's Soccer Jersey, $90

Nike Magista Obra iD, $315

The planet is deep in the throes of World Cup craze, making it the perfect time to act like you not only give a shit about soccer, but actually know how to play too. Hit the field in head-to-toe official gear like a true sports hypebeast and see how effectively you burn calories in trying to avoid getting grass stains on your precious jersey. Believe you will...not fail miserably.

Cycling

Only Trainer T-shirt, $32

Kith Sullivan Short, $88

Hit up your local spin class in style. The KITH shorts are on that next level double-layer wave, with sweats underneath that don't extend past the knee, i.e. not quite meggings. You'll be on-trend and operating by reasonable summer guidelines—two style swerves in one flourish.

Baseball

Hall of Fame Mercy Baseball Jersey, $110

Wilson Eye Black Stickers, $5

America's pastime is the only sport that's really popping during the summer season when it's not a World Cup leap year. Flaunt your patriotism and bring the mitts out with your homies like it's the summer before sixth grade again. (Or play in a softball league that's more about the beer than the game.) Either way you need to be on the mound stunting so hard the herb at bat strikes out because he's blinded by your shine. Baseball jerseys a trend right now even amongst the non-athletic fashion folk, while the eye stickers will definitely lend you some much needed authenticity.

Lifting

ASOS Jersey Shorts with Megging, $53

Rogue Fitness T-Shirt, $25

Front like this isn't your first time in the weight room all year by trendhumping every fitness bro's favorite new pastime: CrossFit. (Not to be confused with #RossFit, which you're definitely not ready for.) Official CF threads from Rogue weill help you blend right in so no one pays attention to your pathetic curling form. But your trend game isn't fully on 1000 until you co-opt the meggings wave too.

Tennis

Wimbledon Big Pony Polo, $70

adidas Stan Smith, $75

The only way to really serve your opponents this summer is to swag on them, and when it comes to tennis, if it ain't broke don't style risk it. A tennis polo that's Ralph tho and new old favorite Stan Smiths will make the country club cypher effortlessly complete.

Swimming

Gucci Goggles, $195

Stone Island Swimming Trunks, $175

Dive in for some laps in between diving into DMs this summer. Stone Island's got the best luxe swim gear out right now, and when you come up out that water in your best Gucci goggles any shorty who happens to be poolside can't stay dry for long. (Because you splashed her on your way out of the pool, obviously.)

Motorcross

V-Files Sport Plus Moto L/S Jersey, $200

V-Files Sport Plus Moto Shorts, $150

It's not your typical summertime outdoor activity, but, what the hell, mix shit up. If you don't know anything about motorcross, V-Files' new Sport collection should make the entry a little bit easier for you. Get straight X-Games on the block in one of the brand's absolutely fire two-toned pieces. Whether you thrive or end up on a stretcher with a broken limb, at least you'll be fresh.
