These Are Our Fashion Team's Favorite Activewear Brands

Whether you’re a runner, spin junkie, boxer, lifting fanatic, or yogi, you know that the right gear makes alllll the difference between feeling like a superstar during your sweat or fidgeting and adjusting so much that you never quite get in the zone. Heck, you need the right activewear to comfortably run errands, curl up on the couch for the night, or give "business casual" meaning of your own.

Luckily, you've got so much to choose from when it comes to Spandex, sneakers, and sports bras these days. There are tons of activewear brands churning out fun, functional gym clothes for women right now. So many, in fact, that you might have trouble deciding where to purchase your next pair of leggings.

From seamless construction (which means no scratching or chafing) and bold prints to modern metallics and funky cuts, women's activewear has never been more exciting or diverse, according to Hearst Executive Fashion Director Kristen Saladino. Classics like Nike and Lululemon never fail. (Like, have you ever not crushed a workout in their stuff?!) But there are plenty of boutique and indie labels worth investing in too. And if sustainability, size-inclusivity, and budget-friendly designs are top-of-mind, look no further than the list of brands below.

Oh, and don't worry that you'll have to sacrifice function for fashion—not with these lines. Keep scrolling for the activewear brands we just can't get enough of right now because of their high performance (and stylish) designs.
