"I own so many workout sets that I need a whole locker devoted to them in the downstairs garage, much to my boyfriend's dismay. 'Why can't you just donate some of them?' — I get that a lot. And routinely, I do! But this one won't be retired any time soon. As a co-ord connoisseur and someone who exercises every day, I crave the motivation that comes with switching up my look. Sure, it may earn me compliments at Real Hot Yoga, but it's more about how I feel in my set — whether the colour palette empowers me and the silhouette cinches me in the right places.
"When it comes to YPB, all of my boxes are ticked. This set in particular comes with more compression than many of my other workout clothes, but it's in no way constricting. I haven't once experienced discomfort in the one shoulder top, nor have I found myself adjusting it to a different height or constantly pulling it up on one side. As someone who's petite with an athletic shape (I'm 5'1" and wear a size XS), I fully appreciate the option to purchase the leggings in short, regular, or long length and chose mine in regular, because I like to wear high sport socks to hold the bottom of my pants in place. Finally, my favourite sets are those that come with a cute sweatshirt I can throw on to trek to and from the gym, or stop for a coffee afterwards, and I can confirm the comfort and stretch of the NeoKnit Half-Zip, which honestly feels sort of official with its patent stitched onto the sleeve." — Sarah Wasilak, associate director, Commerce
