From athletic clothes for women brands that specialize in leggings and bralettes to retailers with active lines, there are plenty of options for women who want to look good while breaking a sweat. The best athletic clothes for women will be quick-drying and moisture-wicking so you don’t end up with damp, cold skin after a few jumping jacks. Look for styles made with polyester, nylon and spandex (although cotton is fine if you like the way it feels on your skin).

It’s hard to go into any fitness store without seeing an entire wall dedicated to leggings by Lululemon. The cult-favorite brand is loved by runners, yogis and Instagram fit-fluencers for its fashion-forward style and unbelievably soft fabrics. The best Lululemon workout clothes include everything from leggings and yoga pants to sports bras and hoodies.

Another popular option is UK-based gym wear brand Gymshark, which has become the It brand on social media thanks to its second-skin crop tops favored by TikTok stars and Instagram fit-fluencers. Its best workout clothes include a wide range of leggings and bralettes in bright, fun prints that will work for anything from spin to Soul Cycle.

For something a little more elevated than your average pair of Nikes, look to the Nordstrom-owned label Zella for its line of performance gear that looks as good as it performs. Its best workout clothes include the high-waist Live In leggings, which have received 7,200 rave reviews from Nordstrom shoppers, plus a cropped hoodie that pairs well with them.
