The best activewear brands today offer a competitive edge that transcends traditional workout wear. No longer reserved for time solely at the gym, these labels often blend the lines between fashion and function, offering longevity and stylish versatility outside of just a sweaty workout. If you need proof, simply take a look at any of Kendall Jenner or Hailey Bieber’s off-duty street style looks—just a snapshot of the many well-heeled A-listers who regularly mix fitness gear with their coveted ready-to-wear and designer accessories. Still, activewear needs to provide purpose, not just look good, so we did a deep dive of the best activewear brands on the market right now that offer both.

The Best Activewear Brands, According to Vogue:

Of course, we have included the classic brands on our master list—such as Lululemon, Adidas, and Nike—who continuously push the limits in terms of high-performance activewear, to ensure all the bases are covered when it comes to sweat wicking, anti-odor, and anti-chafing properties. However, there is a crop of contemporary brands that we have fallen in love with as well. Alo Yoga is an all-around crowdpleaser—not just for Gen Z’ers on TikTok, but for the fashion girlies as well, thanks to the clean lines and cool cuts, while Live the Process consistently tantalizes our ballet beautiful dreams with dreamy color palettes and soft, ribbed-knit silhouettes that push the boundaries.

No matter your sport or favorite workout, the bases are covered. So keep reading below to see all our favorites that made the list, giving you the best activewear available to shop and style right now.

Swiftly Tech 2.0 tops have become customer-favorites, designed for high-impact workouts with seamless construction and anti-odor properties, while the Wunder Train leggings are made from fast-drying fabric that wicks moisture through a sweaty round of burpees or a hot yoga class.
