26 Activewear Pieces That Will Make You Want To Sweat

Let’s get physical!

by Jenna Igneri

There is nothing more unmotivating than unflattering gym ensembles. Replacing the neon-colored tights paired with old college T-shirts and unflattering sneakers we used to see, athleisure collections are now much more chic. I mean, it’s becoming a trend even outside of the gym (and we don’t just mean jogging around the neighborhood). Many RTW designers have also jumped on the athleisure bandwagon, creating activewear lines with the same aesthetic as their core collections and vice versa (just take a look at Lululemon's latest venture).

With the endless options out there today, there’s no excuse for you to not hit the gym, if only, to show off your chic sense of style. The current offerings are sleek—often seen in neutral tones with pops of color here and there, modern prints, and unexpected silhouettes. Whether you’re training for a marathon, hitting the elliptical, or dropping by your weekly yoga class, you can now be fashionable with an air of sensible practicality surrounding your look.

We rounded up some of the most stylish exercise gear—from apparel to shoes and accessories—that will make you more excited to break a sweat than ever before.
