The best activewear brands blend the lines between fashion and function, offering longevity outside of just a sweaty workout. Just as important as a ready-to-wear refresh, your activewear options should also feel fresh, functional, and versatile. No longer reserved for time solely at the gym, 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, 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 brands on the market that offer both.

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, 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, and Literary Sport has captivated our editors with its minimalist design approach and super-luxe materials.
No matter your favorite sport 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.
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 Nike Skims, you’ll be able to go the distance in style, wearing any of their core activewear buys.
