When it comes to the best women’s workout clothes it’s all about finding the right gear for your specific fitness routine. After all, high-intensity workouts like HIIT call for sweat-wicking materials that offer compression and support while lower-impact moves like barre and yoga require soft fabrics that move with you without feeling constrictive. And, of course, you need a supportive sports bra to make it through your workout (especially if you want to avoid visible panty lines).

Fashion Meets Fitness: Embrace Your Active Lifestyle with Stylish Workout Wear

Luckily, there’s no shortage of gym-ready gear out there from legacy brands like Nike and Adidas to sustainable brands like Girlfriend Collective that prioritize inclusivity in the form of sizes ranging up to 6XL. Plus, many of the coolest, contemporary activewear brands have a focus on sustainability and street style-inspired looks that work well outside the gym.

For example, Bohemian brand Free People’s active line FP Movement has an expansive lineup that includes onesie lounge pants and matching leggings (like this Running Through My Mind pair) made with the most sustainable fabric on the market—Italian econyl seamless yarn. Plus, this spring 2023 the brand has expanded into swim with a new FP Beach line that’s just as chic on the beach as it is at Soul Cycle. Another rad sustainable option is female-founded brand Koral, which has a sleek look that works well for higher-intensity moves thanks to shiny, leather-like fabrics.
