Goodbye pilates princess, hello gym goblin — the just‑got‑out‑of‑bed fitness look

Goblin mode started as a home-bound aesthetic — the comforts of depravity, unmade beds and endless scrolling — but it has migrated to the gym. The optics remain: ancient T‑shirts, knackered socks and oversized cardigans, now paired with treadmills rather than duvet days.

It’s Diana’s oversized college sweatshirts meeting Josh O’Connor’s half‑tracksuit, and it sits opposite the matcha‑drinking, Lululemoned “clean girl” look. Celebrities have leaned into the trend. For Runner’s World, Harry Styles wore secondhand trainers, a vintage Adidas T‑shirt and a retro track jacket and shorts, topped off with a vintage Donald Duck cap.

Jennifer Lawrence was seen in a vintage Mickey Mouse T‑shirt, red track pants and Adidas sliders, while Zoë Kravitz has been spotted pairing retro running shorts with a Black History Month T‑shirt. That vintage turn shows up in searches and sales: between December 2025 and March this year eBay searches for “vintage sportswear” and “90s sportswear” rose 300%, with “90s Reebok” up 700%.
