You can’t walk into a women’s fitness apparel studio or go for a run without seeing women decked out in Nike sneakers and leggings, but the brand has so much more to offer. Its apparel, including sports bras, hoodies and sweatshirts, blends fashion-forward, street-inspired style with high-tech fabrics that make you feel strong. For example, its Faux Leather Leggings look just like the real thing and add a sleek layer to your workout wardrobe. It’s also great for tossing on top of a long sweater or cropped tank when you’re headed out for drinks after barre class.
Another top pick, FP Movement, offers the type of flattering, figure-enhancing activewear that’s perfect for yoga or a hike. Its breathable, moisture-wicking fabric helps you stay cool and dry and its stylish silhouettes will turn heads. Plus, it’s sustainable and eco-friendly with the use of Italian econyl seamless yarn.
Fit and Fabulous: Empowering Women’s Fitness Apparel for an Active Lifestyle
If you love to shop locally, try Austin-based Outdoor Voices, which is known for its rad workout dresses that are as practical as they are pretty. Its bestselling Exercise Dress, which has built-in shorts that are just as comfortable as any pair of running shorts, was the inspiration for many of its other styles.
You’ll find women’s fitness apparel at every price point, but the best brands have a good balance of both affordability and function. One of the more affordable options is Old Navy, which makes a range of activewear that looks just as chic as what you’d find at an expensive boutique and comes in sizes XS to 4X.
