Active and Performance Pieces That You Need in Your Closet
Work(out) hard, play hard. When you work out, you want to invest in gear that supports you. Sometimes, that old college t-shirt made out of cotton will leave you damp and sweaty. That’s not what you want after a workout, especially because after your body cools down, you’ll be left freezing cold in a wet shirt. Whether you’re a yoga gal or thrive off of intense HIIT workouts, you need activewear that can keep you comfy during those pigeon poses or burpees. Good workout gear should feel like a second skin. You should barely notice it and feel great wearing it. That’s why we rounded up the best active and performance wear for you.
We picked durable, sturdy pieces of clothing that can keep up with you. You don’t want to worry about your pants falling down during a downward-facing dog or while you’re jogging. This activewear fits like a glove but also is designed to dry quickly, so you can go from the gym to brunch without having to change. We rounded up the best leggings, the best dri-fit shirt and the best dri-fit yoga pants. One of our selections even has special technology to make sure you and your shirt don’t smell when you order a round of Mimosas.
