Faster, Stronger Better

IT

The best way to show off your yoga arms, boxing abs and allover sexy bod? This season’s cutouts. Add pops of color and playful extras—like model Kelly Gale, you’ll be ready for after-hours anything.

PIECE OUT

A body-con dress or single-sleeved crop top lets you flash a slice (or two) of midriff. “I keep my abs in shape by boxing,” says Gale. “You end up using those muscles constantly.”

KELLY GALE

AGE 20 ORIGINALLY FROM Gothenburg, Sweden HOME BASE New York City

HER GO-TO WORKOUTS I box at Aerospace. I run. I jump rope. And I use resistance bands and weights. For me, there’s no such thing as skipping a workout. I either do it now or later, but I always do it, six days a week.

HER BEST BREAKFAST I make bircher muesli: ½ cup oats, 1 tbsp plain yogurt, 2 tbsp green juice, ¼ cup grated apple and dashes of cardamom and cinnamon. Soak it overnight and top with nuts and berries; it keeps me full all morning.

HER BIG BREAK When I booked my first Victoria’s Secret show in 2013, I didn’t tell anyone except my mom. I didn’t believe it was going to happen.

HER FAVORITE NIGHT OUT Going dancing, or anything involving a lot of adrenaline—like trapeze flying, I love that.

HER ONE DATING RULE Turn off your phone!

CLUTCH PLAYER

Style home run: pairing a killer LBD (that circle of skin!) with bangles and a bright bag. “I love a nice clutch when I go out,” Gale says. “I always take my wallet, phone, lip gloss—and some nuts for snacking!”

GO DEEP

Balance a dress cut down to there with a bandeau top underneath, then leave arms bare. “I like wearing things that show off my arms and shoulders. It makes me feel strong yet feminine,” Gale says.
