My Favorite Activewear Brands that are Worth the Splurge

March 15, 2021 By Melanie No Comments

Hey friends! I’m here to answer one of the most frequently asked questions I receive on Instagram: where do I get all of my activewear and which ones do I recommend? I’ll admit, it’s hard to narrow it down to my absolute favorite activewear brands but I did my best with this roundup!

I’ve been blogging for 5 years now and in that time I’ve had the honor of working with many different activewear brands and definitely have a solid opinion on which ones are worth the splurge.

And a splurge they truly are, because none of the ones I’ve listed are considered “budget brands” and it’s important to remember that you don’t need fancy activewear to get a killer workout in.

This being said, if you’re into the latest trends, want quality pieces that will last a long time and find that cute activewear motivates you to get moving, then this list is for you!

Nylora

My thoughts: I own 5 different sets by Nylora and love every single one of them. The fit and quality is impeccable and the styles are sooo chic. They push the boundaries of activewear + street style — plus I love that they are a female founded brand!

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

Terez

My thoughts: Another female founded brand (and based in NYC!), Terez is one of those brands that just makes you happy! They’re all about fun prints, lots of shine, and colorful sets that really pop. If you want something that will make you stand out from the crowd, they’re the place to look.

Fit: Runs slightly large

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

Fabletics

My thoughts: Yep, the athletic wear brand created by Kate Hudson that you see in ads everywhere is def worth the hype! They have some really amazing styles and offer them at an affordable price point (think higher quality than Target but lower than Lululemon). They offer a monthly membership but be sure to read the fine print on how to use it!

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$

Shop my favorites:

Alo Yoga

My thoughts: Alo is the first luxury yoga wear brand I bought 7 years ago and it’s still a favorite of mine now. The moto leggings (pictured in both photos above) are my personal go to because I love the thickness, durability, length and high waisted fit. They have so many cool styles though and I love that they keep the classics around forever!

Fit: True to size (but leggings are long)

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

Sweaty Betty

My thoughts: This British activewear brand first caught my attention when they released their signature Power Leggings. Although the fabric feels a bit on the thinner side, they do hold up really well, are SUPER comfortable and have an amazing high waisted + booty lifting fit.

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

CALIA by Carrie Underwood

My thoughts: You may remember that I was a brand ambassador for CALIA last year and got to try so many of their different styles! I’m a big fan of how much they value functionality (think thicker fabrics, great compression and pockets galore) but that they also have lots of great mix and match feminine styles.

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$

Alala

My thoughts: I’m obsessed with everything Alala makes and have especially loved their Peak Tight and Bra (pictured left) in multiple colors. I find myself reaching for them time and time again for nearly every workout, but their seamless sets are quite lovely too. Bonus points for being a female founded business!

Fit: Runs slightly small

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

The Cosmic Project X Headstands and Heels

My thoughts: Shameless plug for my collab activewear collection with Becca of The Cosmic Project! The collection features four hand-drawn designs (the one on the left was a print created from one of my watercolor paintings) and the material is made in the USA, super soft and comfortable, with a super high waisted fit that I love!

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$

We.Over.Me

My thoughts: If you’re looking for a buttery soft seamless set and happen to have a long torso like I do, this is the best brand for you! They look a bit like Outdoor Voices (and I’m pretty sure there was a legal battle over the color blocking) but they feel very different. There is barely any compression and they’re really best for low impact workouts like yoga, pilates or barre.

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$$ (Major sale happening now though!)

Shop my favorites:

Beyond Yoga

My thoughts: The BY alloy ombre collection is still hands down the prettiest activewear I own (pictured in two colors above). They fit like a glove, are a thicker sweat wicking material and have such a wow factor! It’s especially great for gals like me with long torsos because it does feature an ultra high waisted fit.

Fit: Runs a bit small

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

Athleta

My thoughts: Athleta was the first activewear brand I worked with and will always have a special place in my heart. I love their Powervita collection which features buttery soft leggings with great compression, lots of pockets and beautiful soft colors and feminine prints! They’re also a certified B corporation and are true trailblazers in setting standards for a positive environmental impact in the athletic wear fashion world.

Fit: Runs slightly large

Price Point: $$

Shop my favorites:

Outdoor Voices

My thoughts: This cool girl brand is all about “doing things” and definitely designed all of their sets with various types of recreation in mind. I LOVE their exercise dress and their tech sweat material is perfect for high intensity workouts or even hiking! I recommend trying their Rec Kit to test out the fit and get more bang for your buck.

Fit: Runs a bit small

Price Point: $$

Shop my favorites:

LilyBod

My thoughts: Lilybod has such a cool girl vibe with chic prints and very sleek designs! I’m obsessed with their “Piper” high waisted tights (pictured right) and matching sports bra. The material is made from their signature smooth-tech fabric with good compression and a snug fit!

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$

Shop my favorites:

Spiritual Gangster

My thoughts: What started out with positive vibe yoga t-shirts (that I definitely owned at the start of my yoga journey) quickly expanded into a full activewear line that is full of really pretty, colorful sets. Both sets I own are seamless and I find that they’re perfect for yoga or other low impact workouts.

Fit: Runs a bit small

Price Point: $$

Shop my favorites:

Spanx

My thoughts: Yes, Spanx has activewear and the styles are so pretty you definitely won’t want them to stay hidden! I love their bike shorts but I’m sure you’ve seen their faux leather leggings all over Pinterest. As can be expected with a shapewear brand, all the fits are very flattering and definitely hug you in nicely (without making you feel like you can’t breathe).

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

Splits 59

My thoughts: This super sporty, celebrity endorsed brand is made in the USA and features some really fashionable sets. The material is high quality and they have a variety of styles that fit low impact (seamless like the bra on the left) and high impact workouts (the red set on the right).

Fit: True to size

Price Point: $$$

Shop my favorites:

There you have it folks! As a bonus, I’m including Old Navy (pictured above) as a budget friendly brand that actually has really pretty sets.

Shop my favorites:

I hope you all find this helpful!! And because I know I’ll get this question… Lululemon didn’t make this list because 1) all of you already know about Lulu already and 2) I honestly don’t own enough of their pieces to be a proper judge. 😉

Happy shopping!

So glad I harvested these ripe strawberries before the surprise hail storm yesterday afternoon. 😳 Thankfully there wasn’t any damage to most of the plants but some of the flowers and strawberry plants took a beating… so looks like I’ll be replanting a few things soon!

We’ll file this experience under #ColoradoLife

Hydration never tasted so good.💧 You all know how much I love an aesthetic smoothie and this Matcha Passion Fruit smoothie featuring @liquidiv’s Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier is absolutely delightful. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love that using Liquid I.V. gives this smoothie 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks and provides 5 essential vitamins: B3, B5, B6, B12 and Vitamin C

💚 ½ avocado 
💚 1 cup frozen mango
💚 1 Liquid I.V. Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier
💚 1 tsp matcha 
💚 1 cup water 
💚 ¼ cup lite coconut milk 
💚 Ice 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blend and serve in a glass with coconut cream. If you’re feeling a little ✨extra✨ garnish with mint and an edible flower! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pro Tip: if you want to cut down on the sweetness of the smoothie, I recommend using ½ banana and ½ cup frozen mango.

After a long winter in the home gym, I think outdoor workouts have just become my favorite thing ever. ☀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as I love the fresh air and sunshine, suncare is always top of mind! I’ve been loving @cayskin’s entire collection and use their Face and Body Lotions, Body Oil, and Lip Balm – all with SPF 30, daily. It leaves my skin feeling so nourished, glowy and ready to be out in the sunshine. 💛✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact - Cay Skin founder @winnieharlow uses all these products in her @womenshealthmag cover this month for that perfect glow!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today called for a little jump rope warm up before moving into some of my favorite yoga sculpt exercises and cooling down with some gentle stretches. I hope this encourages you to switch things up and take your workout outdoors this weekend!
