21 Best women's gymwear brands to be sporting in 2024
Fashion gymwear to have you ready for anything
In today's world, women's gymwear brands need to do more than deliver pitch-perfect performance. Modern gym clothing brands know you might be stretching out from your folding desk, hill training at lunchtime or putting in a sweaty HIIT class all in the same kit, on any one day.
Luckily for us us, there’s a plethora of exercise-specific fashion gym wear brands creating beautiful leisure clothes, as well as fashion brands upping their activewear offering.
We love fit-kit that's functional, long-wearing and stylish without sacrificing technicality. BUT more than ever we're looking for versatility and clothes that we actually want to wear beyond the gym. Think those Sweaty Betty leggings that you live in or the trusty Nike hoodie you pull on for active recovery days.
Gym wear has become more than just for the gym, even Tala or Adanola designs we will gladly wear on an evening out - we're looking at you Flared Yoga Pants.
What are the brands that are worth their salt in sweat versus those which are just a flash in the fitness pan? Well, we've rounded up the pieces that raise our sartorial heart rate and are set to light up your IG-feeds this year. Run, don't walk.. let’s get shopping.
