I've rounded up my go-to brands for all your fitness needs! From activewear to athleisure, these leggings, sports bras and exercise tops are some of my fave pieces to wear, whether I'm taking a pilates class, playing tennis, going for a hike, or just hanging at home! They are cute, comfortable and sweatproof, making them ideal for any workout or activity you may be into. Now get moving!
Varley is a newer-to-me brand, but I’m pumped that I finally discovered them! I’m typically more of a black-on-black workout attire gal, but I went a bit out of my comfort zone with these pieces, and for good reason. The Irena Bra and Duncan Leggings in Lead Cheetah print are loud in a good way- I love the somewhat more neutral cheetah theme- and super cute! They’re so comfy, but fit nice and sleek with a great amount of support, so you aren’t having to constantly readjust as you move around. These are equally good for a tennis match as they are for lounging at home- they’re that soft!
Another Varley set I’ve been loving is the Berkeley Racerback Sports Bra and Figueroa Leggings in Evergreen. These are ideal for any sweaty activity thanks to their four-way stretch and sweat-wicking technology! The pieces move with your body, and help keep you dry throughout any workout. There’s even reflective details on the back and side pockets, so you can feel safe while out for that sunrise or sunset run as well! Plus, I’m obsessed with this olive green color.
Live the Process has been a favorite of mine for some time now, and I love how simple, yet chic their pieces are. I feel comfortable wearing my LTP looks straight from pilates to brunch to errands, with no changes needed in between! The Corset Bra and Geometric Leggings in black have seen me through many a barre class and baking project- they’re also great for cozying up on the couch with my laptop to get some writing done! I love how high-waisted the leggings are, giving the bra almost more of a crop-top feel. For that reason, I will usually just rock the look as-is, or with a knit sweater or cozy tank thrown on top when I’m out and about. Just a heads up- it looks like SSense is having a major sale right now too! Hmm what should I try next!?
Outdoor Voices makes sleek and chic sets and separates in lots of cute colors. I love their tagline, Technical Apparel for Recreation, because it really is as simple as that! Their Athena Crop and Warmup Leggings in navy are always in my rotation, and for good reason. They fit tight, but not in an uncomfortable way, and keep everything nicely contained. Plus, the leggings are super long. Yay! Thinking I need to invest in some Warmup Shorts for summer soon too… I always have a Project Social T tee or sweater nearby (or tied around my waist!)- they make high-quality, yet affordable basics you can throw on for anything from workouts to lunch to meetings. The Under The Sun Sweatshirt comes in a trendy tie dye print, and is a fun way to spruce out an otherwise simple look. I also have The Wearever Tee in multiple colors, and must say it’s the ideal simple piece to add to your wardrobe.
PS- A few other activewear looks, including my all-time fave super comfy Beyond Yoga leggings, are featured on my quarantine fashion // britt’s stay-home looks post. The SpaceDye Leggings come in full length, capri, and tri-panel, and I highly recommend treating yourself to a pair (or two). They’re that good, and the best for an at-home yoga session! So be sure to check out that post as well, if you haven’t already. Happy exercising, y’all!
