Let’s be honest, the line between workout gear and everyday wear has been gone for a while. These days, leggings do more than see the inside of a Pilates studio. They are brunch-approved, errand-appropriate, and basically an extension of who we are at this point. And truthfully? I’m not that mad about it…most days anyway. With our activewear going the distance, it’s just another facet of our lives that has trends to keep track of and embrace. Activewear can be flirty and functional, and the current trends let you move (and lounge) comfortably while feeling like you have it all together, even if your water bottle is still sitting in your car, again. Not that I know…

Whether you’re clocking steps, flowing through a Sunday slow stretch, or just grabbing a post-workout smoothie, here are five activewear trends that are serving equal parts form, function, and fashion.

No treadmill required, but hey, go off if you’re on one, ha.

Piping Details

If you’re into subtle details that make you do a double-take, piping is your new BFF. I’m obsessed. Clean, contrast lines give your workout wear structure and just the right amount of sporty flair. It’s giving vintage track vibes without the polyester nightmares. Whether curing along the leggings or outlining the seams of a zip-up, piping gives definition and polish to otherwise simple pieces. Old-school gym class vibes, but chic? I’m all for it.

Mini Dresses

Flirty workout gear? Yes, it is possible and outside of just tennis. Somehow, it works. Of course, these aren’t your typical tennis whites. This new wave of active mini dresses is built with smoothing, sweat-wicking fabric, built-in shorts (blessed), and the kind of tailoring that makes you look like you tried just enough. Ideal for tennis, a hot girl walk, or scrolling your phone in a cute café, they’re the rare combination of practical and pretty. Also, they pack light, making them a weekend trip staple.

Ballet Babe

Balletcore is apparently a thing and a thing that has gracefully leapt from the studio to the sidewalk. The wrap tops, shrug boleros, soft pastel tones, and slouchy-yet-sculpted silhouettes that whisper ‘maybe I’m en route to dance rehearsal or maybe I’m just grabbing a latte.’ It’s delicate without being precious, feminine without being frilly; and if you’ve ever wanted to look like a stylish off-duty ballerina with a penchant for oat-colored accessories, now’s your moment. Now, if you can handle a sleek bun, bonus points.

Mocha Mousse: The New Neutral

Move over, black. Mocha is the new MVP of activewear color palettes. It’s warm, it’s luxe, and it somehow flatters everyone. Mocha is the color of the year for a reason and gives off quiet confidence, the kind of energy that says, ‘I’ve got my life together, or at least my outfit.’ Mix and match it with creams, taupes, and charcoals for a tonal look that feels elevated without trying too hard. For the ultimate cool girl look, pair it with gold jewelry and a top knot.

Bike Short Sets Still Going Strong

I have a love/hate relationship with bike shorts, but they have gone from controversial to a cult favorite. And when it’s a matching set? Chef’s kiss. Whether you’re into cropped tanks, longline bras, or oversized zip-ups, there is a bike shorts set for your vibe. Sporty, minimal, or coquette-coded, they have earned their spot because they work. Matching sets are easy to style, hard to mess up, and somehow always look like you’re on your way to a reformer class, even if you’re just on a Target run. You can’t go wrong with The Formula: Bike shorts set + socks + chunky sneakers + confidence = done.
