Shop Men's Rest Day Clothing at Myprotein

Rest days are just as important as training days, and what you wear during downtime matters. Men's rest day clothing from Myprotein combines comfort with laid-back style, giving you pieces that feel good whether you're recovering at home, running errands, or meeting mates for coffee. Think relaxed fits, soft fabrics, and unfussy designs that work from sofa to street.

This collection covers all the essentials. Classic tees, drop armhole tanks, sweatshorts, and everyday boxers are designed to move with you without clinging or restricting. Every piece is built to last through countless washes while keeping that just-bought feel. When you're not pushing your limits in the gym, these are the pieces that carry you through everything else.

Who This Collection Is For

This range is for anyone who trains hard and values proper recovery. Whether you're into lifting, running, cycling, or team sports, rest days are when your body rebuilds. You need clothing that lets you relax completely, without waistbands that dig in or fabrics that feel restrictive after a tough week of sessions.

It's also for people who want their casual wardrobe to align with an active lifestyle. These aren't gym clothes trying to pass as everyday wear. They're properly designed rest day pieces that look intentional, not accidental. If you appreciate quality basics that don't need much thought but always look sorted, this collection delivers.

When to Wear This Collection

Reach for these pieces on actual rest days when you're prioritising recovery. Lounging at home, stretching out tight muscles, meal prepping for the week ahead, or catching up on sleep all call for clothing that feels like a second skin. The relaxed fits and breathable fabrics make them ideal for low-intensity movement like walking, light stretching, or foam rolling.

They're equally useful for everyday situations that have nothing to do with training. Weekend coffee runs, casual meetups, food shopping, or long drives all become more comfortable in clothing designed for ease. Pack them for weekends away, throw them on for early morning flights, or wear them while working from home. They're versatile enough to fit seamlessly into any part of your week that doesn't involve breaking a sweat.

Key Features

Relaxed, Unrestricted Fits

Every piece is cut to allow complete freedom of movement without any tightness. Drop armhole tanks sit away from the body for airflow. Sweatshorts have elasticated waistbands that sit comfortably without digging in. Tees are roomy through the shoulders and chest, letting you move naturally without pulling or riding up.

Soft, Durable Fabrics

The materials feel gentle against skin while standing up to regular washing. Cotton-rich blends in the tees and shorts maintain their shape and softness over time. Underwear is made from breathable cotton that wicks moisture away naturally. Everything is designed to feel better with each wear, not worse.

Minimalist, Timeless Design

Clean lines and simple colourways mean these pieces never look dated. No loud logos or flashy details, just well-proportioned basics in black, navy, and grey marl. They pair easily with anything already in your wardrobe and won't draw unwanted attention when you're out and about.

Multi-Pack Value Options

Essentials like boxers come in convenient multi-packs, making it easy to stock up on everyday necessities. Having enough quality basics means less time thinking about laundry and more time focusing on recovery and training. It's practical, no-fuss organisation for people who value efficiency.

FAQs

How do the rest day pieces fit compared to regular clothing?

The fits are deliberately relaxed without being oversized. Tees and tanks sit comfortably across the shoulders and chest with room to move freely. Sweatshorts have an elasticated waistband that adjusts to your body without feeling tight. If you're between sizes, the relaxed cut means your usual size will work fine. For a closer fit, you could size down, but most people find their regular size gives the intended comfortable feel.

What fabrics are used in this collection?

The tees and shorts use cotton-rich blends that balance softness with durability. Cotton provides natural breathability and feels gentle against skin, while the blend helps the fabric keep its shape after washing. The boxers are 100% cotton for maximum breathability during everyday wear. All fabrics are pre-shrunk and tested to maintain their fit and feel through regular washing.

Can I wear these pieces for light activity or just rest days?

While they're designed for rest days, the comfortable fabrics and unrestricted fits make them suitable for low-intensity activities too. Walking, stretching, foam rolling, or casual cycling all work well in these pieces. They're not built for intense training sessions, but anything that doesn't involve heavy sweating is fair game. Think of them as versatile basics that work for 90% of your non-training time.

How should I care for these items to make them last?

Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar colours and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. The fabrics are designed to handle regular washing without fading or losing softness. Avoid fabric softener on the cotton boxers as it can reduce breathability over time. Turn tees and tanks inside out before washing to protect any printed details. Iron on a low setting if needed, though the relaxed style means creases generally aren't an issue.

Do the sweatshorts have pockets?

Yes, the sweatshorts feature deep side pockets that can comfortably hold a phone, keys, or wallet. The pockets are reinforced to prevent sagging when carrying items. There's also a back pocket on most styles for additional storage. The pocket openings are positioned to sit naturally when your hands are at your sides.

Who designs the Myprotein clothing range?

All pieces are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on creating functional, durable basics for active lifestyles. The team combines feedback from customers with practical testing to develop clothing that works in real-world situations, not just on paper. Every item goes through multiple rounds of wear-testing before it reaches production.

Are the colours true to the online images?

The product images are colour-matched as closely as possible to the actual items. Black is a true deep black, navy is a classic dark navy, and grey marl has subtle flecking that gives it texture. Screens can display colours slightly differently, but the shades are standard neutrals that won't surprise you when they arrive. If you're familiar with basic wardrobe colours, these match your expectations.

Can I style these pieces for casual outings or are they strictly loungewear?

The clean, minimal design means they work for casual outings just as well as they do at home. Pair the tees with jeans and trainers for a straightforward casual look. Layer the tank under an open shirt for added dimension. The sweatshorts work with slip-on trainers for weekend errands or coffee runs. They're designed to look intentional rather than like you've just rolled out of bed, so you won't feel underdressed wearing them out.
