Workout clothes have magic powers. I don’t know what else explains how clothing can be so comfortable (perfect lazy Sunday clothes) yet make me want to hit my favorite running route before I have even sipped my morning espresso, all at the same time. Seems impossible, right?
I am not going to lie; getting new workout clothes definitely gets my endorphins flowing. Is it so wrong to reactivate muscle memory by purchasing a new sport bra and matching yoga pants? The brighter and more neon the better!
Athletic clothes have never been so comfortable and well made for your body without compromising style. Now you can wear your morning pilates gear while heading to your favorite Sunday brunch spot right after, without having to change!
Whatever your workout of choice may be, here is Vogue’s guide to the best workout clothes to shop now.
1- Pilates
The Pilates movement isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, no matter if you choose to practice on a mega former, traditional Cadillac, or on the mat. Dress appropriately in a matching powder blue set by Outdoor Voices and make sure not to forget your grip socks like these from Pointe Studio. Bala’s bars and bangles offer extra resistance, while a Hydro Flask will keep you nice and hydrated.
2- Running & Walking
When heading out for a run or a walk, a matching set from Tory Sport is a chic choice. Stylish additions include On Cloud’s cult-classic sneakers and Stanley’s thirst-quenching tumbler. Keep track of every step courtesy of the Oura Ring.
3- Yoga
When finding your zen at yoga, Alo Yoga’s matching bra and leggings in the color plumb are as comfortable as they are non-constrictive, ideal for hitting those downward dogs and cobras. Their yoga mat and sweat-resistant towel in smoky quartz are equally as necessary. For tired post-class muscles, ease any tension with the Theragun Mini.
4- HIIT
A sweat-resistant set and a coordinating track jacket from Adidas by Stella McCartney are perfect for HIIT classes like spin and boot camps when the heart is really pumping. Neon Nike sneakers and a matching pair of socks offer the perfect amount of support and style when hitting the treadmill.
5- Ballet and Barre
At the barre, channel your inner ballerina in this set by Live The Process and a pair of slouchy socks from Skims. Make sure to tote equipment from Gaiam and Lululemon, too.
6- Tennis
Hit the courts in Girlfriend Collective’s hunter green tennis skirt and for après play, store your racket in an embellished tennis tote by Brother Vellies. Keep warm courtesy of Tory Sport’s classic chevron sweater and shield any unwanted rays with a cap from Sporty & Rich. A Tretorn sneaker is not in style.
7- Snow Sports
Since ski season is in full swing, hit the slopes in style, starting off strong with Banana Republic’s quilted puffer jacket, Khaite’s ‘Millen’ top, and ski pants from Jetset. Also from Khaite, their ‘Culver’ shearling-lined booties help master the art of aprés ski style. Cozy accessories from La Double J and Apparis are also hard to resist, whether you plan on conquering the mountain or not.
8- Cool Down
After all of your hard work, rest and recover with the help of sensuous essential oils from Public Goods and a cozy loungewear set from Éterne. Slipping into a pair of shearling-lined Birkenstocks never hurts, either. Give yourself an at-home massage thanks to Lululemon’s foam rolling set.
