1. For a matching set in bold colors: GapFit Leggings and Turtleneck
Work up a sweat in the GapFit High Rise Recycled Power Full-Length Leggings. These leggings are made in a comfortable, moisture-wicking material that’ll keep you dry during your workouts. Fans of the leggings say that they’re comfortable, stay in place when working out and are durable. Though they’re available in eight colors and prints, we love the electric neon green for being a timely and stylish choice. Shop the style in women’s regular, tall and petite sizes XXS to XXL.
We suggest pairing the leggings with a matching top like the GapFit Breathe Turtleneck for a complete outfit that is suited for the gym and the coffee shop alike. Reviewers say that the turtleneck is soft with an unparalleled fit. The sleeves even have thumbholes to keep your silhouette intact. Shop the Breathe Turtleneck in women’s regular, tall and petite sizes XXS to XXL in five colors.
2. For versatility and comfort: lululemon Convertible High-Rise Hiking Jogger
When we tested lululemon’s hike collection, we thought the items were functional, well-made and trendy. The lululemon Convertible High-Rise Hiking Jogger was one of the highlights of our test. These aren’t your typical cargo pants, since the legs can be unzipped, leaving you with shorts. If your hikes take you across climates, or for those days when the weather is simply unpredictable, these versatile and stylish pants are an easy way to upgrade your look. Shop the style in three colors in women’s sizes 0 to 14.
3. For a sporty throwback vibe: Girlfriend Collective Zip-Front Dylan Tank Dress
Whether you’re headed to the courts or the streets, Girlfriend Collective’s tennis-inspired Zip-Front Dylan Tank Dress is just right for making a style statement. This retro style is made from 79% recycled plastic bottles and 21% spandex and is lined with a full unitard that has pockets for your keys, phone or tennis balls. Girlfriend Collective suggests ordering the dress one size up from your normal size as it runs small, but that’s okay since the brand offers one of the most inclusive size ranges in the business. Shop the style in two colors in women’s sizes XXS to 6XL.
4. For ‘80s-inspired style in a modern package: Alo Goddess Leg Warmers
The ‘80s are back in a big way with Alo’s Goddess Leg Warmers. These leg warmers are made from the same stretchy ribbed material as Alo’s famous Goddess Leggings, but are designed to offer more versatility so you can pair them with dresses, leotards or with another pair of tights for added warmth. As a bonus, built-in stirrups keep the leg warmers in place. Shop the leg warmers in five colors in women’s sizes XS/S to M/L.
5. For a one-and-done look: FP Movement Good Karma Flared Onesie
If the ‘80s are too much of a commitment, try on the ‘70s for a change with the Good Karma Flared Onesie from Free People Movement. The flared-leg jumpsuit looks like it would fit in as well at a disco-themed party as much as it would during a yoga class. The scoop neckline and a knit waistband keep the onesie in place for whatever workouts you have planned. This onesie is available in a bold cerulean blue that FP Movement calls Mid Atlantic, and a burgundy they refer to as Henna, and can be found in women’s sizes XS/S to XL.
6. For a way to jump on the quilted trend: Athleta Apres Ski Jogger
Athleta’s new Après Ski Joggers might be one of the most distinctive styles the brand has offered in quite some time. Available in a soft Heron Blue, creamy Abalone Grey and classic black in women’s regular, tall and petite sizes 0 to 16, the pants feature a quilted chevron pattern. The pants are made with Athleta’s Primaloft Eco Silver, a premium down alternative, that keeps your legs warm and toasty no matter the weather. Ribbed cuffs, a drawcord at the waist and zip pockets add functionality and utility to this beautiful garment.
7. For a classic golf-inspired look: The Upside Fleur Saasha Top
We’re loving throwback styles this season, and The Upside’s Fleur Saasha Top is nothing if not a ‘50s dream. Made in a soft pink with red and white stripe details along the sleeves and collar, this modern polo pairs beautifully with high-waisted trousers and sneakers for a look that'll be at home on the golf course and on mid-day shopping trips, too. Shop the style in women’s sizes XS to L.
8. For carrying your daily essentials: Epperson Mountaineering Fanny Pack
The Epperson Mountaineering Fanny Pack is a classic design that’ll hold all of your daily essentials whether you’re headed to the gym, a hike or rushing to class. The compact size and hands-free design make this bag a practical choice for any occasion. You can wear the bag around your waist, or for a more contemporary feel, sling it around your torso as a crossbody.
9. For all-day support: GymShark Elevate Longline Sports Bra
For a winning athleisure ensemble, pair a sports bra with leggings for a gym-ready look. Rather than a smaller and more revealing top, opt for a bra that offers more coverage. The Elevate Longline Sports Bra from GymShark provides extra support while the longline design means the band hits lower on the torso. Available in women’s sizes XS to XXL in five colors, this bra features breathable lightweight material that will wick away sweat to keep you dry during your most strenuous workouts.
10. For layering and lazy days: Alo Muse Hoodie
If there’s a garment that defines athleisure, it has to be a well-designed sweatshirt. Alo’s Muse Hoodie takes a totally modern approach to its design. With a cropped length, long sleeves and an oversized hood, the hoodie hangs away from the body for a totally contemporary look. Pair the hoodie with jeans, leggings or even pajama pants for an outfit that’s equal parts comfortable and functional. Shop the style in five colors in women’s sizes XS to L.
