Best New Workout Clothes For Women | July 2021

I'm an Editor, and These Are the 14 Workout Pieces I'm Eyeing For July

This summer, I'm getting outside and moving my body, so I need some great new workout clothes. After all, as much as I love my trusty leggings that I can always rely on, there seems to be an extra pep in my step when I have on a new piece. As an editor, I'm always shopping, so I see everything that drops almost instantaneously. With all that information, these are the 14 pieces I want to add to my cart.

What I'm into right now is brightly coloured sets, a sentence I truly never thought I'd say. I'm normally partial to basic black, but there's something about the hope of this summer that's inspiring me to go for vibrant blues and purples. What can I say, they make me happy! Plus, as a former tennis player, the resurgence of tennis fashion has me thrilled. Keep on reading to shop my picks, and happy summer!

A Supportive Sports Bra: Girlfriend Collective Haze Lou Bra

The Girlfriend Collective Haze Lou Bra ($42) is at the top of my wish list. I love the colour; the bright blue makes me happy. Plus, the silhouette has skinnier racerback straps that are supportive but not too bulky, and it would layer perfectly under a T-shirt or tank.

An Exercise Dress: Outdoor Voices Sport Dress

As a former tennis player, I used to dream of the day when something like this Outdoor Voices Sport Dress ($100) was in style, so today's my lucky day! The classic silhouette is so cute, and I love the navy. The dress is unlined, which I like because I can wear my chosen sports bra underneath, and add some shorts if I need more coverage, or a place to put my tennis balls.

A New Neutral Set: Good American Angeled Rib Leggings and Crop Top

There are days when you're over basic black, but not quite ready for a vibrant lavender. That's why we like olive; it's a colour but it's not too wild, and still very wearable. The Good American Angeled Rib Leggings ($99) and matching Angled Rib Crop Top ($49) is a set I'd wear for low-impact exercise.
