Getting back into a new [gym](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/activewear-trends-2026) routine is high on my priority list, as not only do I want to keep my heart healthy and my body feeling toned, but I also love the feeling of endorphins I get from a good, sweaty [workout](https://www.whowhatwear.com/workout-clothes-for-women). I typically mix things up with cardio, weights, floor work and yoga for full-body conditioning, but admittedly, I did fall off the wagon a little over the festive period. It's time to get back to business. To get me into the mood for my fresh start, I wanted to try on some new gymwear—pieces that feel fresh, stylish and practical. My current rotation of workout gear feels a little tired, and so I was excited to check out the latest collection from [H&M](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/shopping/hm-fashion-trends-2026) Move. I've heard great things about it from friends, collegues and fellow gym-goers, so giving it a real spin for the first time felt well overdue. H&M is one of the biggest players on the [high street](https://www.whowhatwear.com/expensive-looking-high-street-items) and is constantly at the forefront of [trends](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/trends-making-a-comeback-2026), as well as offering solid [wardrobe staples](https://www.whowhatwear.com/how-to-capsule-wardrobe) and [affordable](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/affordable/expensive-looking-capsule-wardrobe-2026) items which are deceptively expensive-looking. The brand has been designing its workout-friendly Move line for several years, and this season, the collection is inspired chiefly by hot Pilates, infrared saunas and cold plunges (all of which I'm looking to introduce to my weekly exercise sessions in [2026](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/shopping/hm-fashion-trends-2026)). Aesthetically, this collection is all about ['90s](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/90s-comeback-trends-2026) minimalism: clean lines, sculpting silhouettes, smoothing fabric and pared-back colours (hello, ink black, ivory white, soft sand and pomegranate), powered by a new fabric H&M is pioneering: SculptMove. “This collection is about glowing from the inside out, facing the future with purpose and power and feeling excited. We wanted to channel all the energy, anticipation and transformation that comes with starting a new year into pieces that will make you feel and look like the best version of yourself," says **Marie Fredros, head of design at H&M Move.** For context, I am 5'8" and typically take a size 12, medium or large, which suits my height, shape and curves. I tried on everything in a Medium, which felt spot-on and true to size thanks to the compressive nature of both the sports tops and [leggings](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/2026-leggings-trends). The H&M Move collection is offered from XS to XXL, which, according to the size and fit guide, should benefit those looking for pieces from a UK 6 to a 22, catering to a wide range of body types and needs. I tried on pieces in colour-coordinated combos (which is how I like to style my [activewear](https://www.whowhatwear.com/workout-clothes-for-women)) and gave each a thorough review, providing pros and cons to help you decide if they'll work for you. If you want to check out which items I tried on, loved and will undoubtedly be sweating in soon, scroll on for my H&M Move picks, which are available online now. ## The Best H&M Move Pieces for 2026, Tried and Reviewed by a Fashion Editor ### 1\. Sculptmove Sports Jacket + Vest Top + Leggings + Waterproof Jewellery ![Sophie Robyn Watson tries on the latest H&M Move collection.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EzTmYPfiDhdQvM8ZULrduj.jpg) **My Review:** I'm not typically one for an all-white look (I'm a coffee drinker, after all), but this soft ivory-toned set felt like exactly what I need for 2026: a clean slate, fresh start and clear perspective for my [workout](https://www.whowhatwear.com/wellness/fitness) goals. The base of the look is comprised of H&M Move's new signature Sculptmove pieces, including a vest top and [leggings](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/2026-leggings-trends) and finished with a bodycon Sports Jacket. The fabric feels buttery soft on the skin, and each piece promises to be moisture-wicking, quick-dry and breathable, which is necessary when getting a real sweat on. I loved the hug-like fit of each of the items. [Leggings](https://www.whowhatwear.com/tag/leggings) that roll down and sports bras that don't compress my chest adequately are my biggest ick when it comes to [activewear](https://www.whowhatwear.com/tag/activewear), and these pieces felt like they wouldn't fall into that category. The jacket has a slim-fit shape and short, stand-up collar, as well as full-length arms with thumb-holes for that extra bit of comfort and coverage on chilly days. To complete the outfit (and for the others you'll see below), I opted for long white ankle socks (from a five-pack) and a pair of chunky white-and-silver [trainers](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/london-trainer-trends-2026). As far as [high-street trainers](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/shoes/best-affordable-sneaker-trend) go, these felt premium and comfortable, but truthfully, I know I would normally opt for a tried-and-tested sports-specialist brand for a sneaker that can go the distance. These will get you to your morning classes just fine, however. Cleverly, [H&M](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/shopping/hm-fashion-trends-2026) is now offering waterproof jewellery made of 100% stainless steel, so you can still add a hint of shine to your 'fit without the worry of it tarnishing or turning your skin a funky shade of green. The simple huggie hoop earrings and snake-chain necklace are a highlight. All in all, I really liked the clean lines and fresh hue of this full look, and I feel like it would be perfect for Pilates and yoga sessions. ## Shop the Look: H&M Sculptmove Sports Jacket **Colour/s:** Ivory, Black, Beige, Dark Fuchsia, Grey **Sizes:** XS–XL **Materials:** 66% polyamide, 34% elastane. #### Pros - Slim-fit - Modern silhouette - Great for cooler weather - Sweat-wicking - Quick dry - Breathable - Good colour range - Compressive #### Cons - White may stain more easily - I wish the neck were a little higher H&M Sculptmove Sports Vest Top **Colour/s:** Ivory, Black, Beige **Sizes:** XS–XXL **Materials:** Shell: 66% polyamide, 34% elastane; lining: 84% polyester, 16% elastane. #### Pros - Pretty strap detail - Moderately compressive - Longline cut - Matching separates available - Great size range - Compressive #### Cons - White may stain more easily H&M Sculptmove Leggings **Colour/s:** Ivory, Black **Sizes:** XS–XL **Materials:** 66% polyamide, 34% elastane. #### Pros - Classic regular cut - True to size - Good size range - Smooth fabric - Compressive #### Cons - White may stain more easily H&M 5-Pack Sports Socks With Drymove **Colour/s:** White, Black **Sizes:** 3–5, 6–8 **Materials:** 97% polyester 97%, 3% elastane.

Loose Fit Sports Hoodie + Sculptmove Medium Support Sports Bra + High-Waisted Leggings ![Sophie Robyn Watson tries on the latest H&M Move collection.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AwDUHoWCFdgvVUeqKSpRvj.jpg) **My Review:** For those seeking a punchy, bright and head-turning gym ensemble, might I suggest this fuchsia-pink set? Admittedly, the [hoodie](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/jumpers-sweaters/best-hoodies-for-women) itself is an ever-so-slightly different shade from the sports bra and leggings (the hoodie is a few shades lighter), so this is worth noting if you were seeking something truly monochromatic. Otherwise, you can opt for the Sculptmove tee or sports jacket in the same hue for a head-to-toe pink moment. The hoodie feels warm, chunky and soft, the cropped fit is modern and flattering and I love the classic kangaroo pocket and loose feel; it's easy to whip over your head pre and post-workout. In terms of the sports bra, it's a classic cropped fit and has medium support with a round neckline and removable cups, which can be taken out with ease depending on preference. The leggings have a high-waisted cut, which I liked for that extra touch of coverage on my abdomen. Hot pink was not on my 2026 bingo card, but for the greyest days of [winter](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/outfit-ideas/london-girl-snow-day-outfits), this is a nice dose of dopamine dressing. ## Shop the Look: H&M Loose Fit Sports Hoodie **Colour/s:** Bright Red **Sizes:** XS–XXL **Materials:** 80% cotton, 20% polyester. #### Pros - Modern, cropped cut - Loose fit - Bright colour - Soft terry fabric #### Cons - Doesn't match the colour of the sports bra and leggings H&M Sculptmove Medium Support Sports Bra **Colour/s:** Dark Fuchsia, Ivory, Black, Beige, Grey, Brown **Sizes:** XS–XXL **Materials:** Shell: 66% polyamide, 34% elastane; lining: 84% polyester, 16% elastane. #### Pros - Pretty strap detail - Moderately compressive - Matching separates available - Good size range - Great colour range - Sweat-wicking - Quick dry - Breathable - Modern cut - Compressive #### Cons - Not one for the minimalists - You may want to wear a top over it H&M Sculptmove High-Waisted Leggings **Colour/s:** Dark Fuchsia, Black, Beige, Grey **Sizes:** XS –XXL **Materials:** 66% polyamide, 34% elastane. #### Pros - High-waist cut - True to size - Good size range - Good colour range - Smooth fabric - Compressive #### Cons - Not one for the minimalists ### 3\. Water-Repellent Padded Sports Jacket + Sculptmove Sports Vest Top + High-Waisted Leggings + Weights ![Sophie Robyn Watson tries on the latest H&M Move collection.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/u7CDYauGz5Kfp65yBhagrj.jpg) **My Review:** Next up, I gave this tonal taupe look a whirl. I do love a look that feels like an extension of my everyday [capsule wardrobe](https://www.whowhatwear.com/how-to-capsule-wardrobe), and so this [neutral](https://www.whowhatwear.com/neutral-outfits) but modern colourway is something I naturally gravitated towards. I tried on the Sculptmove Sports Vest Top and matching High-Waisted Leggings (having already loved them in the ivory colourway), and teamed them with the corresponding Water-Repellent Padded Sports Jacket, which was a true match in colour (a win!). There's even a two-pack of wrist weights in the same beige tone, so you can add a bit of resistance to your workout, stylishly. The jacket was a favourite of mine, as the light padding and weather-repellent fabric would mean I have no excuse not to step outside and take that short walk to the gym, whatever Mother Nature throws at me. The square cut, [funnel neck](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/outerwear/best-funnel-jackets-for-women), cropped cut and discreet side pockets make it look ultra-modern, timeless and chic, and it will effortlessly pair with infinite leggings and cycling-short looks. This is the outfit I adored the most. It felt like the most "me", and the dark, biscuit-y shade will stand up to frequent wear, sweat and weekly wash cycles. ## Shop the Look: H&M Water-Repellent Padded Sports Jacket **Colour/s:** Beige, Black **Sizes:** XS –XXL **Materials:** Shell: 100% polyamide; padding: 100% polyester; lining: 100% polyamide. #### Pros - Moderate warmth - Modern cut - On-trend funnel neck - Chic shade - Timeless fit and feel - Waterproof #### Cons - I wish it were a little thicker, but this will be a good weight for spring H&M Sculptmove Sports Vest Top **Colour/s:** Beige, Black **Sizes:** XS–XXL **Materials:** Shell: 66% polyamide, 34% elastane; lining: 84% polyester, 16% elastane. #### Pros - Pretty strap detail - Moderately compressive - Matching separates available - Good size range - Great colour range - Sweat-wicking - Quick dry - Breathable - Modern cut, longline shape - Compressive #### Cons - "Boring" colour, but it has a timeless appeal that some will love H&M Sculptmove High-Waisted Leggings **Colour/s:** Beige, Black, Dark Grey, Dark Fuchsia **Sizes:** XXS–XXL **Materials:** 66% polyamide 66%, 34% elastane. #### Pros - High-waist cut - True to size - Good size range - Good colour range - Sweat wicking - Quick dry - Breathable - Smooth fabric - Compressive #### Cons - "Boring" colour, but it holds a timeless appeal that some will love H&M 2-Pack Wrist Weights **Colours:** Dark Beige, White **Materials:** Polyester, silicone. ### 4\. Sculptmove Sports Top + Cycling Shorts + Tote Bag ![Sophie Robyn Watson tries on the latest H&M Move collection.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NLCk7y5onTAWYDjgKtaFcj.jpg) **My Review:** Last but not least, I tested this sleek, minimal and dare I say quite sexy two-piece in black. Comprised of the Sculptmove Sports Top with long sleeves and the Sculptmove Sports Cycling Shorts, this ensemble would be just the ticket for a dance class or gentle weights session. The long-sleeve cut of the top features thumb holes (quite '90s, no?) and a chic square neckline. The hem is neither cropped nor long, but right in the middle, which means it teams perfectly with the [cycle shorts](https://www.whowhatwear.com/cycling-shorts-trend), which have a regular cut, if you're comfortable showing a flash of midriff. Going back to the top, it does, in fact, have bust support, so you might not need a bra too (depending on how much bust support you require). Black is, of course, a fail-safe shade for both curated day-to-day wardrobes and athleisure, as it pairs with everything and can withstand stains, sweat and the perils of constant daily wear. I'm saving this set for warmer days when I dare to get the pins out. I also checked out the frosted-white tote bag, which was easy to throw over my shoulder, apt for holding all of my sweaty items post-shower and even large enough for a towel and water bottle, too. Ideal! ## Shop the Look: H&M Sculptmove Sports Top **Colour/s:** Black **Sizes:** XS–XXL **Materials:** Shell: 66% polyamide, 34% elastane; lining: 81% polyamide, 19% elastane. #### Pros - Modern shape and cut - Moderately compressive on bust - Good size range - Sweat-wicking - Quick dry - Breathable - Compressive #### Cons - Only available in black H&M Sculptmove Sports Cycling Shorts **Colour/s:** Black, Beige **Sizes:** XXS–XXL **Materials:** 66% polyamide 66%, 34% elastane. #### Pros - Modern shape and cut - Great size range - Sweat-wicking - Quick dry - Breathable - Compressive #### Cons - Better for warmer days H&M Tote Bag **Colour:** White **Sizes:** 61cm x 38cm x22cm **Materials:** 100% thermoplastic polyurethane. ## More of the Best from H&M Move Right Now H&M Teddy Sports Jacket H&M Sculptmove High-Waisted Leggings H&M 2-Pack Silicone Dumbbells H&M Sculptmove Sports Vest Top H&M Sports Wrap Top in Modal H&M Sports Leggings With Softmove H&M Sculptmove Sports Jacket H&M Sculptmove Medium Support Bandeau Sports Bra H&M Sports Swimsuit With Lycra Xtra Life H&M Water Bottle
