Science says daily exercise floods the brain with feel good chemicals like serotonin. What science doesn’t tell you is that wearing a cute outfit during your workout will double that. Wellness, luxury and sustainability are essential to a contemporary conscious lifestyle these days. These athleisure brands check all those boxes. Including the bonus vanity box. Designed to look as chic on the streets you’re running on as they do in the gym you’re HIITing, they will hold as much prime real estate in your closet as they do in your gym bag.

LILIAS ACTIVE
Quality and longevity are paramount to Finland-based, Lilias Active. From intentional design to transparently mindful production then eco-friendly delivery, sustainability is evident throughout every step of their operation. Style doesn’t come at the expense of their commitment to the environment, however. Seamless active pieces, like the Ribbed Knit Crop Top, come in a number of neutral hues made of luxe fabrics that can be mixed and matched- an ideal choice to wear while you Plié Grand in your next barre class.
YEAR OF OURS
The adage for female-owned and U.S.A.-made brand Year of Ours is “team spirit.” Every piece in their line is thoughtfully designed and copiously recut and refit to ensure quality for women whose bodies are as dynamic as their workout routines.

These v-shaped, high-waisted 7/8 leggings will hug your curves in all the right places as you swerve in sync with your cycle-mates while the beat drops.
NYLORA
Fitness meets fashion when it comes to Nylora Studio’s designs.

Throw on the Damien Ribbed Pants for a deep warrior two pose - and then brunch afterwards.
