While we do recall them fondly, we don’t particularly miss dressing like post-break-up Bridget Jones. Why? Because activewear has taken on a fashionable new focus in recent years and we like to look cute while breaking a sweat.

So fashionable has activewear become, that it has produced its own sub-trend, athleisure, that has effectively allowed us to dress comfortably chic wherever we go.

Morning coffee with friends? We’ll wear our activewear. Grocery shopping? We’ll wear our activewear. Doing absolutely nothing? We’ll wear our activewear.

Of course, it’s also great for working out in. That goes without saying. But, not all brands are created equal.

Having to withstand so much wear – in and out of the gym – means you should be investing in quality pieces that will stand the test of time.

Below, we round up the activewear worthy of your hard-earned cash.

Lorna Jane 

Founded in 1990, Lorna Jane is one of the OG fashionable activewear brands and with now 30+ years behind them, it’s not hard to see why they’re still a staple today.
