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 [1] 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 [2], 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 [3] 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 [5] ($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.
A Lightweight Legging: Girlfriend Collective Quartz Compressive High-Rise Legging
I want to pair that bra with these Girlfriend Collective Quartz Compressive High-Rise Leggings [6] ($68). The Girlfriend Collective fabric is so comfortable and lightweight that I can wear them even when temperatures spike.
An On-Trend Tank: Beyond Yoga One and Only Shoulder Cropped Tank
I've been seeing one-shouldered sports bras, workout tanks, and dresses for a while now, and if I'm going to try the trend, it's with this Beyond Yoga One and Only Shoulder Cropped Tank [7] ($66). The piece is made with the brand's signature Spacedye fabric, which is the most comfortable thing I've ever worn.
A Minimal Sneaker: APL TechLoom Breeze
As someone who's always gone for either a white or black sneaker, I love the look of these APL TechLoom Breeze [8] ($200) sneakers for summer. The light pink and tan come together perfectly, and they'll look great on my leg when I'm wearing shorts or a skirt.
A Classic Tennis Skirt: Eleven by Venus Williams Can't Stop Won't Stop Skirt
This Eleven by Venus Williams Can't Stop Won't Stop Skirt [9] ($88) has everything I need. The silhouette is adorable, and it's got pockets for tennis balls or my phone.
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 [10] ($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 [11] ($99) and matching Angled Rib Crop Top [12] ($49) is a set I'd wear for low-impact exercise.
A Cute Sports Bra: L*Space Ribbed Underdog Tank
It's a good thing it's hot outside, because this L*Space Ribbed Underdog Tank [13] ($92) was meant to be seen. It's got support, and the little snap details are so cute!
A Crossover Short: L*Space Carter Bike Short
If you've been on TikTok recently, you know about the discovery of a crossover waistband. It gives a v shape at the waist, and is super flattering. To pair with my new sports bra, I'm into these L*Space Carter Bike Shorts [14] ($88).
A Vibrant Matching Set: Le Ore The Lucca Kit
If you know me, you know I love all things lavender, so when I saw this Le Ore The Lucca Kit [15] ($130), I knew it had to be mine. The leggings have pockets (a must for me), and the strappy bra has a laser-cut detail in the back that I'm really loving.
A Tie-Dye Piece: Tory Sport High Rise Seamless Bike Shorts
Tie-dye is going to be a part of my life for a little while. I really love Tory Sport's fabrics and fits, so these Tory Sport High Rise Seamless Bike Shorts [16] ($98) need to be mine.
A Classic Crop: Alo Seamless Delight High Neck Bra
As much as I'm loving colour, I know I always need a few great basics in my life. This Alo Seamless Delight High Neck Bra [17] ($58) is just that. It looks great on its own, and also can layer easily underneath a tank or top. This is a lighter support bra, so it's a good everyday option.
A Sporty Look: Solid & Striped Sport Polo Bra & Ribbed Short Kit
How cute is this Solid & Striped Sport Polo Bra & Ribbed Short Kit [18] ($140)? The navy rib, the cropped polo, it's all too good. I think I just found my next weekend hike outfit.
A Do-It-All Skirt: Outdoor Voices Sport Skort
This Outdoor Voices Sport Skort [19] ($68) isn't just for tennis. It looks like the skirts I used to wear on the court, but the built-in shorts (with pockets!) mean that I can wear this for all kinds of activities.
