Staying fit is hard. Staying motivated is harder still. But if there’s one way to give yourself an added incentive to hit the gym more regularly, it’s with some new all-singing, all-dancing activewear.
You might have started 2023 on a fitness high – ‘new year, new you’, and all that… But if you’ve any hope of keeping up those healthy habits, you should think about hitting refresh on your activewear wardrobe.
Activewear isn’t necessarily something you shop for on a regular basis. It’s something about the wear-wash-wear-wash nature of gym wear that sees it being overlooked for bigger, bolder high street fashion styles.
But activewear can be just as big and bold as other pieces. Whether you’re new to the gym or a seasoned pro, we want to help you stay on track and smash your fitness goals looking good this year.
Here’s our edit of five key activewear pieces you might just want to add to your workout wardrobe this season.
1. Biker short
Biker shorts have come a long way since the 80s. Today, they are just as at home on a catwalk as they are in the gym. When looking for biker shorts, go for a high-waisted compression fit. These Pipeline Biker Shorts by PE Nation go one step further. Made from recycled polyester, they’re sustainable and stretchy, allowing you to move freely. Plus, they feature a hidden waistband pocket, ideal for stashing your keys or airpods.
2. Leggings
Leggings are hands-down the number one workout staple. But you need the right pair. If you’re constantly having to pull them up, your performance will suffer. The Mark One Leggings by PE Nation could be just what you need to take your workouts to the next level. With contract panels and stitching, they come with an internal drawstring for a more supportive fit. This high rise, 7/8 length piece is ideal for running, hiking, HIIT, gym training, yoga, you name it...
3. Sports bra
You want your sports bra to give support and comfort. But not at the expense of how it looks. For one that is as much about style as it is about substance, try this sassy animal print bra for size. The Del Mar Sports Bra by PE Nation has adjustable straps, racer back and removable cups. Plus it is sustainably crafted from a recycled tech matte fabric. And while you won’t have the speed of the cheetah, at least you’ll have the print.
4. Crop top
A crop top needs to be comfortable, breathable and supportive. It also needs to work in the gym, with a jacket at lunch or under a sweatshirt on the school run. Versatility is key, and this Rewind Long-Sleeved Top by PE Nation is flexible enough to suit your every mood and movement. Lightweight, brightly coloured and with thumbholes for an extra sleek fit, it offers all-day comfort, all-year round.
5. Sweatshirt
A sweatshirt might be surplus to requirement when you’re working up a sweat in the gym, but it’s exactly what you need to get you there and back again. This Initialise Hoodie by PE Nation features a dropped back hem, kangaroo pocket and retro style logo. It screams streetwear style and is a great addition to your activewear, loungewear, and everyday wardrobe.
