The Activewear Edit: Stylish, Functional and Ready to Move
January’s reset often brings new routines, cold-weather workouts and a wardrobe that needs a little encouragement. Whether you’re back at Pilates, squeezing in park runs between drop-offs, or living in leggings at the weekend, the right activewear makes all the difference.
These are the pieces we’re loving right now — stylish enough for errands, comfortable enough for every workout. From easy one-piece solutions to versatile separates that work around a busy life, this edit is about consistency over perfection, and feeling good while you get moving.
1. Fabletics Heatherflex Ruched Bra & High-Waisted TLC Leggings
This matching set from Fabletics is the kind of all-day activewear that feels good on every front. The ruched bra gives supportive shape without feeling restrictive, and the high-waisted leggings stay put through yoga, strength classes and errands alike. The neutral heather tone keeps it looking elevated, not “gym kit.” Shop Fabletics set (£39.90 member/£119.95 non-members price)
2. Adanola Ultimate Wrap Over Leggings
These wrap-over leggings from Adanola are genuinely comfortable, with a flattering fit that doesn’t dig or slip. They feel premium without the premium price tag, and the sleek black makes them easy to wear for workouts, weekends or simply running between school, shops and coffee. Shop Adanola leggings (£42)
3. Sweaty Betty Harmonise Italian Fleece Sweatshirt
A great sweatshirt is the unsung hero of any active wardrobe. This Italian fleece from Sweaty Betty is soft, cosy and smart enough to work with leggings and trainers — or jeans and boots for a casual catch-up. It’s the kind of piece you reach for on chillier days. Shop Sweatshirt (£57.50)
4. ONEr Active SoftMotion™ Contrast Scoop Back Flared All in One
For days when simplicity matters most, this one-piece from ONER Active does the heavy lifting for you. The contrast scoop back and flared leg offer a sleek silhouette that’s as comfortable in pilates class as it is on walk-and-coffee days. One outfit, zero fuss. Shop ONER Active all-in-one (£95)
5. Lululemon Define Cropped Jacket Nulu
Layering is winning in January, and this cropped jacket from Lululemon hits the sweet spot between city polish and workout practicality. Light yet warm, it’s perfect over tees and tanks for outdoor runs or weekend market walks — and looks polished enough to pair with jeans afterward. Shop Lululemon jacket (£74)
6. Varley Always High Rise Legging
Varley’s high-rise legging feels supportive without being too firm, and the muted “Smoky Tortoiseshell” print adds a subtle style upgrade. It’s an ideal all-rounder — the sort of piece you’ll reach for whether you’re on the mat, in the gym, or doing the school run. Shop Varley leggings (£94)
