However, we may earn affiliate revenue on this article and commission when you buy something._ The best [activewear](https://www.vogue.com/article/activewear-outfit-ideas) brands blend the lines between fashion and function, offering longevity outside of just a sweaty workout. Just as important as a [ready-to-wear](https://www.vogue.com/shopping/new-arrivals) refresh, your activewear options should also feel fresh, functional, and versatile. No longer reserved for time solely at the [gym](https://www.vogue.com/article/workout-sets), you’ll find that investing in the best activewear has double the benefits. If you need proof, look at Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, or Hailey Bieber’s everyday [street style looks](https://www.vogue.com/article/best-celebrity-outfits), regularly mixing fitness gear within their coveted closets. Still, activewear needs to provide purpose, not just look good, so think of this as your cheat sheet to the best [activewear](https://www.vogue.com/activewear-edit) brands on the market that offer both. ## The Best Activewear Brands, According to _Vogue_: The Cult Classic Nike Swoosh sports bra [Jump to review](#69419b6a8bb6008f4273bf43) The Supermodel-Approved Vuori Cove layering tank top [Jump to review](#6a188ca00867a1ae224e7e18) The Seriously Soft Beyond Yoga Spacedye Keep Pace shorts [Jump to review](#6a188ca10867a1ae224e7e20) The Yogi Essential Lululemon Scuba half-zip hoodie [Jump to review](#69419b6b9c778b1f9156d416) The Runner’s Go-To On Studio long-T crop [Jump to review](#69419b6cc4504de021372b66) The Varsity-Inspired FP Movement Easy Tiger shorts [Jump to review](#6762f7be6d88a76a13214bcc) The Tennis-Coded Tory Burch oversized tennis jacket [Jump to review](#6a188ca1105a7dbd997917e0) The Street Style Favorite Alo Yoga Airbrush leggings [Jump to review](#6762f7b9cad4464aafce188d) Of course, we’ve included all the classic brands on our master list—such as Nike, Lululemon, and Adidas—who continuously push the limits in terms of high-performance [activewear](https://www.vogue.com/article/what-to-wear-to-pilates), ensuring all the bases are covered when it comes to sweat wicking, anti-odor, and anti-chafing properties. However, there is a crop of contemporary brands that we have fallen in love with as well, that illustrate this idea of ‘en _Vogue_ sport’. Beyond Yoga has become an off-duty favorite for the fashion girlies, thanks to the impossibly soft fabrics, while Vuori has a supermodel stamp of approval, courtesy of [Kaia Gerber](https://www.vogue.com/article/vuori-kaia-gerber-collection-launch), and Literary Sport has captivated our editors with its minimalist design approach and super-luxe materials. No matter your favorite [sport](https://www.vogue.com/article/runway-inspired-sporty-looks-fall-2025) or workout, the bases are covered. Keep reading below to discover what favorites made the list, with the _Vogue_\-approved, best activewear brands available to shop and style right now. ## [Nike](https://cna.st/affiliate-link/3uiV3LmVK1YzRAx8beUQgTn23CEHHYCdAG9WEbdkCxVrJ4besGFmuMs5BCx9WsAiskzcWtvY9CexMJFPk5ZBh4z2Wd1fGfp1VFbgR9LJCHXvBmhx8YSAVzKpkT6VULez4kkTX8yrVkFbTMaiSPHNM2aTxtipSEKoYtMsLxA1TTdRRrMyxvFDihUmUesLma2PUmYv3B3ujByfQahZ3vBxqHqPGYjrhhUtePcVXGXb43u5bmzb2VH7UHWpzfpoUvdyjLgCg1fF8PkV?xid=fr1734049233025agg) In apparel, Nike’s figured out the sweet spot for high-performance pieces that you actually want to wear. From signature Swoosh bra tops that are ultra moisture-wicking to sculpting leggings that hug you just so (and don’t fall down during a sweat sesh!), plus cool collaborations such as NikeSkims, you’ll be able to go the distance in style, wearing any of their core activewear buys.

[Kaia Gerber](https://www.vogue.com/article/vuori-kaia-gerber-collection-launch) can’t get enough of the brand, either, having partnered on her own collection of favorites. Highlights include fitted tanks and impossibly soft bra and legging sets, all possessing the simplicity of a ‘90s-inspired capsule closet.

We always keep a pair of their Airbrush leggings in rotation for weekly gym runs, while their permanent collection of bra tops, long-sleeves, biker shorts, and joggers are reliable options that actually hold up with wear. Alo Yoga ### seamless two tone bra Alo Yoga ### Airbrush leggings Alo Yoga ### Softsculpt tank Alo Yoga ### Finesse long sleeve ## [Lululemon](https://cna.st/affiliate-link/7PpuYtEvLfvatp8D7X9Sd3g89Z4JbQr52qcJPtULkaawLJYgmqkKtjEBsM29i8HJhSyBMF7auX9PTaygBSWoyz42QZaakDHu6bXs9yJMFiAof8tJpFPeX4cRwo7RyJ3sFFJ8Hkjroq8hoCxkRV3rZZjEudZjk8uSMnp95Ap2negJpx3SiF4EEBDHX43URDnVtWZf5yXQ2MhvqzdumZ4XoKSmMys3pYzeBTTTgvUSxFUGJ4et96wgPmVX9jsXvxM1x8xgRDzE1qaEsaF3Zr65?xid=fr1734049233025gfh) A consistent leader in the athleisure space, Lululemon’s workout clothes have multi-generational appeal. Customer-favorites include the buttery-soft Align leggings, designed for both high and low-impact workouts, and Wunder Train bottoms, made from a durable, fast-drying fabric that wicks moisture through a sweaty round of burpees or a hot Pilates class. Sleeper hits from the brand include [running sneakers](https://www.vogue.com/article/best-running-shoes-for-women), long-sleeve tops, and half- and full-zip sweatshirts. Lululemon ### Align racerback tank top Lululemon ### Wunder Train tights Lululemon ### Energy longline bra Lululemon ### Scuba half-zip hoodie ## [Tory Sport](https://cna.st/affiliate-link/7zscoHCrWNbASLNedPt5vT2afuz4Yc4j3Fxiw1w3UDAU6qLZ2HHzrAXA2tmvvRck3A2zP1XbRb96VPse1ievsskjfbCbWUoHE1Fg2SdMfyZhBaun9ABomXtNZ285X5beC3sybJmLU7zVJazTnjFGhQtgPU4sMMoV2L1aFy72DXcwbEgnebd7arnhUGbE6SfZLriEyAQxQM1yg9Gf4omFR6kmNWgALUhCGCkqAQoDVbXRGmMmHZ9D2dShKx2uaQKEA4RGAQwp6NyGrvd8EBiaYPo7mZQXFEazJ6D?xid=fr1734049233025aga) The Tory Burch brand has [tennis](https://www.vogue.com/article/best-tennis-brands) whites and [golf dresses](https://www.vogue.com/article/best-golf-clothes-for-women) a plenty, plus on-court accessories baked into its DNA, but its cute, compression bra and legging sets are brand bestsellers.

These simple pieces, ranging from super-soft bra tops and leggings sets, to comfy pullovers and jersey sport pants, compile all the wardrobe musts you need, making to-and-from styling a breeze. We love their relaxed fits that seamlessly transition to post-workout daily life or can be used as an easy [travel look](https://www.vogue.com/article/airport-outfits-celebrity-style), as well.
