These matching leggings and sports bras are stylish and sweat-proof.
As spring and summer approach, we’re ready to walk in and nail our sessions with confidence. While looking the part is just a small part of that puzzle, wearing something that you feel great in can give you an extra boost during your workout. It’s one of the biggest lessons we’ve learned during the past few years of the pandemic: getting out of poorly fitting, uncomfortable clothes and into something that feels amazing is the easiest step we can take to feeling more in control.
But finding a pair of leggings that fit perfectly is hard. And a well-fitting sports bra? Even harder. That’s before you’ve even taken into consideration what they look like and whether they match. Finding a set that makes you feel a little more put together while also seeing you through gym workouts, runs or yoga classes shouldn’t be a lot to ask.
So we’ve scoured the market to find the best activewear sets out there. Not only do they match with beautiful hues and patterns for the nicer weather to come, they also perform well. Whether you want leggings that stay opaque when you’re squatting or a sports bra that makes you feel secure during high-impact training, look no further.
The best activewear sets for the gym, running and stretching
Lorna Jane Active Get Physical Set
This much-loved Australian brand is finally launching in the UK, and bringing with it its signature bold, bright sets that will be sure to help you muster up workout motivation on even the drizzliest days. Not only is this Get Physical set the perfect spring/summer hue, it features handy no chafe panelling for maximum comfort. While their UK site launches soon on 3 April, fear not: purchasing items in AUD works just fine.
Wellicious Set
Sustainability, mindfulness and style are top of the agenda for Wellicious, and this muted seafoam set is the perfect way to combine all three. Made from biodegradable material and perfect for yoga flows, you’ll want to add this eco-conscious brand to your radar.
Fila x Tala Skinluxe Set
What do you get when you combine TALA’s sleek, seamless design with Fila’s vintage feel? Answer: a set that will help you to feel your best both in and out of the gym. Despite the flared yoga pants and a stylish zip-up crop top, you won’t have to worry about compromising on quality. They’re made with 76% recycled nylon to allow you maximum stretch, without the risk of see-through.
