The right trendy workout clothes can help you perform your best. Whether you’re running outdoors on a hot day, doing yoga in the studio, or taking a high-intensity spin class, wearing clothes that move with your body and won’t dig into your back or chafe your thighs is key to being at your peak. This includes the perfect pair of leggings, breathable sports bras, and sweat-wicking tops. And if they’re stylish enough to wear when running errands post-sweat session, well, all the better.

When it comes to female exercise apparel, Stokes recommends looking for buttery-soft fabrics and flat-lock seams that prevent chafing and other skin irritations. And because sizing can vary across brands, she suggests finding out a brand’s return policy before you buy.

Fashionably Fit: Trendy Girl Workout Gear for Active Lifestyles

For example, she says Lululemon is her go-to brand for high-performing leggings and matching bras because its clothing washes well, stretches well and is made to last. And she loves that the leggings have a smoothing front panel that allows her to do more advanced poses without feeling constrictive. She also recommends Australian-based House of Coco for a range of activewear that’s both comfortable and stylish, including its sculpting leggings in snap-worthy hues and a matching sports bra.

Another favorite, FP Movement, is known for its bright pops of color and chic silhouettes that can be worn from the gym to brunch with friends. And the cool-girl brand’s sculpting lounge and workout sets look just as stylish when worn with a long sweater or blazer. Plus, the label’s sleek jackets and travel pants are perfect for those on-the-go workouts.
