The season’s best athleisure embraces fashion’s trending hues with elevated comfort and advanced fabrications.
Finding your yoga flow, stretching out on a pilates reformer or counting your daily steps as you pound the pavement becomes more desirable when you’ve got a great kit to do it in.
This season soft, muted and pastel hues dominate but fashion’s most popular autumnal hue, merlot, also weaves its way in, making it the perfect option to buy now and wear all the way through the year.
There are more options – and price points – for stylish workout gear than ever.
We’re obsessed with the level of performance, but also the dopamine hit the colourful pieces give us. It’s also exciting to see athleisure brands extend their lines to include cosy pieces to enjoy in our downtime (think soft, loose waistband sweatpants and oversized hoodies) and useful layers that stave off unpleasant weather while exercising, or getting to or from a class.
Here’s what we’re shopping now:

A soft smoky blue grey colour is a recurring trend weaving through plenty of athleisure collections for winter, along with the aforementioned merlot, bringing some welcome variety to black leggings and a white tee.
The innovation in fitness trackers is well worth considering too, from the GPS-enabled Garmin watch to the ever-popular Oura ring that gathers 50+ health and wellness metrics throughout the day and night, for fascinating insight and guidance to adopt.
