Whether you blame the surge in designer athleisure or the upcoming summer months, more women than ever are wearing activewear on the streets. From the Sunday morning trips to the farmers markets, to waiting in line for a morning coffee or getting a quick lunch after yoga, women everywhere are making workout clothes an essential part of their day to day wear. And what better way to motivate yourself to exercise than ensuring you’re good to go no matter the time of day?On this week’s blog, we take a look at how you can make the activewear as streetwear trend work for you. 

Add extra layers

For the colder months, one of the best ways to carry your active wear from the studio to the street is to add a longer coat over the top. For the office, layer a crisp, white shirt over your leggings and add ballet flats for a look that’s both classic and chic. Even the addition of modest but considered details such as sleek sunglasses or structured leather jackets can make the entire outfit feel much more put together.

Stick to a colour palette

One sure fire way to ensure that you’re keeping comfortable while remaining street or office appropriate is to streamline your colour palette and stick to a monochromatic base, with hints of colour. If you’re not sure about the athleisure trend, neutrals are always safe to fall back on until you’re feeling a little bolder.

Choose pieces that blend functional with fashionable

The best activewear is made from performance fabric; this ensures that the clothing is quick drying, odour resistant and springs back into shape after your workout. BrazilActiv’s range of workout clothes is made from Supplex, a fabric that moves with you and your body, and can very easily transition from the gym to wherever you’re headed next. With block colours, geometric prints, watercolour patterns, cut out shapes- whatever your style, this line of activewear is tailored to fit the individual woman, and ensure she puts her best self forward.

When clothes are this comfortable, why not maximise on the opportunity to wear them as often as possible? Workout clothes should work for you, not the other way around. Remember: be strong, be fit, be beautiful! Shop the latest Brazilian workout clothing styles in our online store.
