Vie Active was born in Bondi Beach, Australia and offers high-performance, fashionable fitness wear. Created with the goal of allowing women to transition easily from a workout into a busy day, Vie Active’s mantra is; “Designed by sweat professionals, for sweat professionals.” The brand’s collections offer a great mix of basic activewear and more fashionable, standout pieces. Look out for the Modern Geo and Marble prints if you’re after some on-trend styles to spice up your workout wardrobe.

Pins to Kill is the new kid on the block when it comes to activewear. Offering comfortable leggings in super cute prints, this brand will brighten up your morning workout. With styles becoming available for purchase twice a month, pick up a pair fast before they sell out. If you do miss out, you could always try your hand at designing your own pair! Pins to Kill offers customers the option of personalising their leggings or even uploading their own designs. We love this fun and innovative idea! After all, who wouldn’t want one of a kind, custom gym gear?

From humble origins as a single boutique brand in 1998 to a global, multi-channel, activewear business in 2016, Sweaty Betty has grown into an unstoppable industry leader. The brand’s pretty and minimalistic website offers an incredible range of products which are easily shop-able by activity/sport. So whether you swim, spin or play tennis, you’ll always be able to find the right piece to fit your needs. Expect workout essentials intersected with in-your-face pops of color and pattern. We also love Sweaty Betty’s range of reversible leggings which can be worn two ways to maximize style while reducing wardrobe space.

Outdoor Voices has quickly grown into an important activewear/athleisure brand to watch. By offering minimalist designs in ultra-comfortable styles and fabrics, this label has become a firm favorite of millennials. Basic leggings, sweatshirts and track pants in neutral colors are all staples of this relaxed label. Made for “casual activity”, Outdoor Voices’ designs are intended to be worn anywhere and everywhere outdoors.
