The Moving Comfort Vixen bra ($36–$38; movingcomfort.com) has molded cups that boost and support the girls. For sans-shirt exercisers, a deep V extends your neckline, giving you a leaner look.

Knock out paunch with the Nux Tava Ruched tank ($59; nuxusa.com). The snug side ribbing sucks in spillage, and front folds conceal flaws.

Colorful diversion

Bright shoes, like the Brooks Pure Grit 2 Sneaks ($110; brooksrunning.com), might not erase pounds, but they do draw the eye away from work-in-progress body parts. Plus, these offer balance on trails thanks to curved soles that spread on impact.
