SHOP TARGET ACTIVEWEAR

Everyday Soft Ultra High-Rise Pocketed Leggings

I have these leggings, and they're the first thing I pull out of my drawer for WFH days and weekend errand runs. The fabric is buttery soft, comfortable but compressive, and the high waist gives the leggings a flattering silhouette. They also have convenient side pockets for your essentials.

Fine Rib Active Dress

An exercise dress is a summer staple, and this pick from Target is no exception. It has built-in shorts as well as a high neck for coverage while you move. The fabric is listed as UPF 50+, so it's a great choice if you're out playing tennis or golf or lounging in the sun with friends.

Seamless High-Rise Leggings

These leggings are moisture-wicking with a ribbed waistband and seamless construction. The midweight fabric is a bit thicker than your standard workout leggings, but they're great for low-impact activities like Pilates or yoga.

Seamless Cami Midline Sports Bra

Pair this with your seamless leggings for a cute matching set or wear them separately with other pieces you love. This bra is listed as a medium support option, and it has adjustable straps and removable cups so you can get the bra to fit just how you prefer.

Sandwash Half Zip Pullover

I've been reaching for this pullover on my way to and from my workout classes. The spandex fabric is easy to slip on and off, while the half zip gives you options for breathability. It's also lightweight enough you won't overheat after your workout, but it'll keep you comfortable on your way to the gym on a cool morning.

Flex Woven High-Rise Shorts

The 3-inch inseam of these shorts gives them a good amount of coverage while still showing off your legs while you go on a hot girl walk or run. The side pocket makes it easy to store your keys while you're on the go, and the drawcord elastic waist gives you a perfect fit every time.

Seamless Racerback Bra

The longline fit of this bra gives you coverage comparable to a tank top so you can easily pair it with high waist bottoms without feeling overexposed. The seamless fabric is soft and compressive while the strappy back details add a sleek twist.

Seamless High-Rise Bike Shorts

Part of a matching set, these 4-inch bike shorts are easy to style for workout classes or with hoodies for a quick, athletic outfit. The high waist cut gives comfortable tummy coverage and the stretchy fabric is compressive while still being comfortable for movement.

Asymmetrical Crop Sports Bra

Whether you wear this as a sports bra for low-impact activity or as a cute tank for lounging, the quick-drying fabric will keep you cool throughout workouts. The shelf bra provides light support and the one-shoulder detail is on trend for spring and summer styles.

Crossover Waistband Split Flare Leggings

Flared leggings are an athleisure staple, and this under-$35 pair has a crossover waistband that sets it apart from standard options. The pants are great for yoga classes or lounging, and the fitted silhouette hugs your body in all the right places.

Twist Back Legging Friendly Tank Top

This relaxed-fit tank works for any and all workouts. The fabric is moisture-wicking and quick-drying so it's great for sweaty days. The twist back is a variation on the classic racerback design, and the full length should hit right at the hips.

Flex Woven Mid-Rise Cargo Joggers

Slip these joggers on for your travel days or post-workout for an outfit that looks better than sweats, but feels just as comfy. The ankle-length pants are fabricated with spandex, so they'll stay cool and breathable. They're also listed as UPF50+ rated for added sun protection.

Seamless Racerback Rib Tank Top

A fitted tank pairs well with bike shorts, sweatpants, leggings, you name it. This one has thick straps and a shelf bra for added support and an always-in-style racerback design. The stretchy fabric will hug your frame, and it should hit right at your natural waist for cropped coverage.

Brushed Sculpt Short Bodysuit

Bodysuits make getting dressed that much easier. This bright one-piece has a fun and flirty keyhole back and princess seams in the front to carve your figure. The brushed fabric is also moisture-wicking for workouts.

Essential Crewneck Short Sleeve Top

Stay cool in this relaxed see that has an oversized fit for a breezy feel. The crewneck keeps your chest covered so you're a bit more protected from the sun on hot days. It's a simple pick, we love that it comes in at such an affordable price point.

1/2 Zip Jacket

For chilly mornings or evenings as the weather transitions, this half zip has a fitted feel that makes it great for wearing throughout workout warm-ups so you can still see your form in the mirror. The jacket also has thumb holes and two side pockets, and the collared neckline will keep you warm when you're all zipped up.

Double Layer Run Shorts

If you're picky about the length of your running shorts, this pair has a 2.5-inch inseam to make sure you have ample room for movement but still feel covered. The shorts have a side pocket for your phone and a drawstring waist to keep them from sliding down throughout your run.

Flex V-Neck Crop Sports Bra

Another pick from Target that's listed UP50+, pair this tank with your favorite leggings or shorts and enjoy a colorful, fitted feel that's still breathable throughout your sweat sessions. The shelf bra has cups that can be removed, and the v-neck elongates your neck and shows off just a bit of your chest.
