Workout clothes for women for women need to feel good (especially during those bleary-eyed gym sessions), fit like a dream, and flex that fashion-forward aesthetic. Fortunately, there are tons of brands on the market right now that are killing it in both departments. Check out our favorites, from a cool-girl activewear label with citrus-inspired pops of color to a workout skirt that looks as luxe as it feels.
Athleta
The Gap-owned retailer is an affordable go-to for everyday activewear and workout gear. Its leggings are particularly great, with a tummy-control panel to help engage your core during runs or yoga and a back pocket for keys and cash. Plus, they have thousands of happy reviews and come in a variety of colors and sizes.
Empowering Your Workout: The Best Fitness Apparel for Women
While the workout-wear brand is a little pricey, it’s worth it for high-quality pieces with sleek silhouettes and technical features. From yoga pants and tees to leggings, bike shorts and sports bras, it’s all here—though we suggest you size up if you’re going for a more fitted look.
Nike
The iconic three stripes brand has everything you need for high-intensity training, including its ultra-comfortable running shoes and breathable workout clothes. Its unique fabrics (like Drizzler tech, which helps wick away moisture) and range of innovative features make it an essential for any workout routine.

The three-stripes are also a leader when it comes to sustainability, with a longstanding partnership with Parley for the Oceans and a wide variety of certified recycled materials.
