Activewear Trends Blowing Up at Free People, Shopbop, and Amazon

One of the many effects that staying at home has had on my wardrobe is my newfound love and appreciation for all things activewear. While I’ve always prided myself on having a few cute workout sets on hand, it wasn’t until recently that I realized just how badly this area of my closet needed an update. Pre-quarantine, I only wore leggings or bike shorts to attend a workout class a few times a week, but now that I’m integrating at-home workouts daily (shout-out to my Obé Fitness subscription), my need for more exciting workout gear has exploded.

So the more I shop for new workout clothes, the more I notice the same few activewear trends repeated across the same few sites. Some of my go-to places to shop for workout clothes include Free People for its pretty pieces, Shopbop for its elevated selection, and Amazon for all its more affordable buys. All three of their activewear sections happen to be leaning into the following six activewear trends, which tells me that they’re the most important ones right now. From pastel colors to comfy seamless pieces, discover and shop each trend ahead.

1.For anyone who, like me, has tired of their plain black pieces, the surge of pastel colors such as lilac, aqua, and peach feels especially fresh.

2.rust me—once you try out activewear sans seams, you’re not going to want to turn back to anything else. It might be a subtle detail, but seamless leggings, sports bras, and tanks are some of the comfiest out there

3.There are bike shorts, and then there are these. Ultra short with a high rise, these are traditionally what runners and dancers wear on the reg, but now they’re becoming a full-blown trend, and even Hailey Bieber is on board.
