We're living in the golden age of activewear, besties. Pilates has become a religion, group workouts are basically social events now, and athleisure is the new everyday uniform. Truly, you can't step out for a matcha run without seeing the same bra and leggings set that was in your heated Reformer class earlier that morning. I'm not complaining though. They're! All! So! Cute!!!
I've been deep in the research trenches: doomscrolling TikTok and Reels, people-watching in NYC, and tracking the latest brand drops -- all to know what the current athleisure fashion trends are.
Here's what's coming in hot: wrap tops, espresso brown everything, double-layered sports bras, capri leggings, and bold contrast detailing. It's the kind of stuff that's practical, cool, and comfortable -- aka pieces you'll want to wear even when you don't have exercise on the agenda.
Keep scrolling to discover the five hottest athleisure trends -- complete with my favorite (read: affordable!) picks -- that are about to take over! Get ready for all the compliments about to come your way...
Inspired by classic ballet style, wrap tops are the ideal lightweight layer to throw over a sports bra or tank, perfect for rounding out a look and adding just enough warmth on breezy days or in over-air-conditioned studios. Breathable and easy to move in, they keep you cozy without causing a mid-workout sweat fest.
Last year, we saw this delicious hue take over everyday wardrobes -- and now, it's officially made its way into your activewear drawer. (Maybe we have Sabrina Carpenter to thank?) Either way, it's safe to say this colorway is the new go-to neutral -- step aside, black -- and honestly, I'm not mad about it. It adds an element of richness and warmth that makes even your simplest gym ensemble feel more elevated.
Yes, they're back, and we're fully embracing it. They're the perfect length for warmer days when full-length leggings start to feel too much. Also, they can be quite versatile! Swap your sneakers for kitten heels and your sports bra for a simple cami, and you've got an easy outfit ready for whatever the day (or night) throws at you. With so many styles out there -- reversible, butt-lifting, high-waisted, and more -- there's something for whatever vibe (or workout) you're going for.
As someone who tends to shy away from bold sporty looks, I love a good contrast trim that incorporates dimension and visual structure without pushing me out of my comfort zone. If you want to take it up a notch, go for styles with bright colorways. Or, if you're like me and tend to stick to earth tones, look for pieces that play with subtle accents in a more muted palette.
