There’s no shortage of incredibly cute workout wear out there. Whether you’re looking for something for yoga, running, hitting the gym, or even just want fashion-forward athleisure that’ll allow you to go straight from the coffee shop to whatever workout opportunity happens to present itself, you shouldn’t have much trouble finding something that looks and feels good.
But, of course, we’re always keen to check out gear from new and emerging brands — and when we find stuff we love, you know we’re gonna share it with you! With that in mind, here are a couple of brands you need to know about.
Flexi Lexi
This Bankok-based brand started out with a line of bralettes — styles that were fashionable and comfortable. From there, they expanded into yoga and dancer leggings in a wide variety of colors and patterns (like ombre, leopard, flamingos, pineapples and more), as well as swimwear, palazzo pants, clothes for pole dancing, leotards and tutus.
ACAI
There are two big reasons to love activewear from UK-based brand ACAI. First, the Seam Free Inner Leg Technology, which helps you avoid friction during exercise. Second, we are in love with the waistband. It comes up high — really high — but more flattering than “mom jeans” somehow, especially when paired with a matching sports bra.
Does this mean you should shy away from your longtime favorites? Not necessarily — but with new brands like this on the market, it’s definitely worth broadening your horizons when it comes to shopping for activewear and athleisure, huh?
