The athleisure market has been growing for years, meaning more and more activewear brands have hit the market. It can be intimidating as a first time buyer to find a store that meets your needs, but here are a few of my favorites:
$$$
Yoga-inspired, technical athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training and other workouts! Lululemon is best known for their high-quality leggings but over the years, many of their other items, like their Perfectly Oversized Crew, Energy Bra and Swiftly Breathe Tees, have developed cult followings.
$$$
As stated in their name, Alo Yoga is activewear that has been wear-tested by yogis for the best fit. The company was created to inspire yogis, beginner and advanced, to improve their wellbeing and mindfulness. Alo Yoga’s leggings have gained a huge following and their Goddess Legging is their best seller!

ASOS is a London-based online fashion retailer. The great thing about ASOS is not only that it is online, but it also carries brands like Nike and Under Armour but also their own brand- ASOS 4505. So you can pretty much find anything in your price range!
- Amazon brands
$-$$
Amazon carries some great and affordable brands. Core 10 makes great leggings and sports bras, 90 Degree by Reflex makes great leggings (with pockets. VERY important.), Colorfulkoala makes leggings that are almost identical to Lululemon without the identical price tag. You can find so many great items, but definitely check the reviews first!

FP Movement offers activewear that is great for activity but is also very trendy! I have heard amazing things about Happiness Runs Crop. One thing I really like about FP Movement is that they have good basic styles but also some things I have not seen from other popular activewear brands

I am sure everyone has seen the 2/$24 leggings ad from Fabletics at least once in their lives. I think that this initial deal is an absolute steal but I am not 100% convinced that paying the monthly VIP fee is worth it unless you’re someone who buys new activewear super often.

As a branch from Gap Inc., this activewear is great quality. They are eco conscious, which we love. They have a great selection of leggings/joggers/shorts and sports bras that range in levels of support.
$$$
Founded in New York City but currently headquartered in Austin, Outdoor Voices has changed the activewear game. And they are eco-conscious. I would say that their TechWear Cami Tank Top and The Exercise Dress are Outdoor Voices most popular items. OV also comes out with new prints and colors every season that sell out fast so keep your eyes peeled for those new releases!

Ethically made AND eco-friendly- what more could a girl ask for. Basically buying activewear from Girlfriend Collective is saving the environment so you HAVE to. They have a variety of colors and styles so everyone can pretty much find something they love.
