As prioritising comfort in everything we wear is a trend we’d happily jump onto, there’s virtually nothing stopping us from pulling on a pair of leggings to tackle a yoga class in the morning while swiftly heading to brunch without an outfit change.

However, some activewear brands can be pretty pricey, so we’ve pulled together our favourite affordable activewear brands to help you build up a cute and comfy wardrobe!

The best affordable activewear brands in Australia

01

Cotton On Body

40% off all activewear for one day only

Just like its parent brand, Cotton On, Cotton On Body is always on-trend and always affordable. With a range of shorts, leggings, sports bras, trackies, and tanks, there’s always something affordable to be found. While some of their compression tights see a price spike, you’ll definitely be able to find something you can run, stretch and hang out in for less than $50.

02

All Fenix

Known for its effortlessly cool workout wear, All Fenix is a cult brand here in Australia. With so many styles, colourways and silhouettes to choose from, the only thing you have to worry about is cutting down your shopping cart. And snagging them before they inevitably sell out. 

03

Bondi Active

Prices from $20 during the online warehouse sale

Inspired by the laidback vibe of Sydney’s Bondi Beach, Bondi Active’s line of high-quality yet budget-friendly activewear is a must-try. Their latest Retro collection is taking us all the way back to the 90s in the best way possible. 

04

Glassons

20% off select styles

For the fashion-forward girly, Glassons offers trend-driven pieces of workout gear to suit any occasion. Whether you’re a Pilates addict or running superstar, there are plenty of affordable and extremely cute pieces of activewear to shop at Glassons. 

05

BONDS

40% off storewide

Classically Aussie underwear brand BONDS has recently launched their women’s activewear range, Move, which features sports crops, leggings and bike shorts designed for maximum comfort. Their seamless sports bras never dig in, and their stretchy tights allow for all kinds of daily movement, whether you’re off on a physical run or a grocery run.

06

Up to 25% off

Running Bare creates simple, timeless and endlessly flattering pieces of activewear that help you feel your best while you work out. With options to suit a range of workout levels and body types, this is the activewear to sport when you want to look your most stylish. 

07

LSKD

LSKD is a Brisbane-founded brand that prides itself in producing high-quality, functional sportswear that dually serves as a streetwear look. Whether it is sprint wear, rest day wear or a classic gym getup that you are after, LSKD has the set for it all. Plus, with a unisex range, why not match with your partner?

08

UNIQLO

Global brand Uniqlo offers some of the best casual wear out there, which obviously extends to their activewear. They have tights in every colour, with a range of great features as well, such as UV protection technology, comfy high-waisted silhouettes, and a super-comfy design that makes them perfect for most occasions.

09

Rockwear

25-50% off everything

While Rockwear can tend to be a bit more on the expensive side, you’ll never doubt the quality of their products. They also quite helpfully sort a lot of their products into the kind of exercise you do the most, such as ‘high impact’ sports bras, which are for running and intense cross-fit training, whereas ‘medium’ and ‘low’ impact are suited to slower, less vigorous exercise. They also have some really stunning colours and prints available!

10

Decathlon

Up to 50% off

If you haven’t stumbled across a Decathlon store yet, prepare to be overwhelmed (in the best way). The sporting giant is a go-to for affordable, functional activewear that covers just about every activity under the sun – whether you’re into running, yoga, hiking or weight training.
