I'm a strong proponent of this ideology: owning cute workout clothes will result in me working out more. For me personally, this has proven to be true and lately, I've been feeling like a true reformer Pilates princess in fun, colored grippy socks and flared leggings. For the first time in my adult life, I'm all about investing in high quality workout wear—with movement comes the need for materials that move with you, breathe, and don’t make you feel restricted.
I also believe this: personal style can be reflected through what we wear when we workout. Sometimes, I want to throw on leggings and an oversized faded vintage tee shirt (which is, to be fair, is somewhat of a reflection of my personal style), while other times I want to look like one of the Newport Beach moms heading to yoga on The OC (in the most positive way possible).
On that note, I was curious about the attire the rest of the Coveteur team wears to their own workouts, and unsurprisingly, they shared some covetable picks. From chic, buttery workout tops to sleek zip-ups, keep scrolling to get the low-down on the performance wear our whole team swears by.
Stretch Your Story ButterEase™ Layered Longline Bra
SPONSORED
"I haven't wanted to wear any other workout top ever since I tried Stretch Your Story's ButterEase™ line. The design-forward brand from Korea makes performance wear that's as much about form as it is function. I love the double layered design of this tank, and the subtle ribbed texture on the outside. The material is cloud-soft and feels like second skin, so I can comfortably wear it from a Pilates class to a leisurely lunch on the weekends. Plus, the matching ButterEase™ leggings are so flattering and sculpt me in all the right places." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Free People Quilted Workout Bag
"Once I upgraded from my dusty old gym bag to this chic quilted bag, I swear I started working out more. The black quilted design looks so elevated, and can fit everything from an outfit change for work to my on-the-go makeup bag. I love that it's functional, but helps me look put together at the same time." - Xue
Los Angeles Apparel Garment Dye Yoga Shorts
Los Angeles Apparel
"The common theme for my picks is that I barely work out, but when I do, I prefer to be in more natural fibers and in things I can wear day-to-day before/after a workout. I love these little yoga shorts for this very reason." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Baserange Camer Pants
"The same applies for these cotton sweatpants. They are loose, breathable, and I can do Pilates in them without getting too hot." - O'Keeffe
ODDOBODY Goldie Tank
"I just love a classic tank, and Oddobody makes some of the softest cotton underwear I've ever owned, so naturally this tank top is the same. Are you recognizing a theme? Comfort is key!" - O'Keeffe
Splits59 Monah Rigor Tank
"I've been loving this activewear brand, Splits59, ever since one of my LA friends put me on to it. This set (in lotus red, of course) has been a current fave." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Adanola Cotton Yoga Pant
"Now that the weather’s getting chillier, I’ve been way more into my slow, low-impact workouts, like yoga. And honestly, I keep grabbing these flared Adanola pants. They're comfortable, but also oh-so-cute!" - Herh
Fraise Slouch Sock Duo
"Calling all self-proclaimed Pilates princesses—this one’s for you. I’m always on the hunt for grip socks that are both cute and functional during class. These strike the perfect balance between scrunch and structure, letting me wear them effortlessly out and about afterward." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Staud Summit Jacket
"I was today years old when I discovered Staud has an active line. I’m obsessed with the asymmetrical detailing on this jacket—zipped or unzipped, it looks amazing." - Sheridan
CSB Slim Run Belt Bag
"Granted, it's not the most glamorous choice, but absolutely the most practical. Small but mighty, this belt bag fits my phone, keys, lip gloss—basically all the essentials when I’m (attempting) to hit 10k steps. And since I’m not a fan of ugly fanny packs, this pop of color keeps me feeling cute on the move." - Sheridan
Spanx Full Zip Jacket
"A relatively new addition to my workout clothing rotation, this jacket is truly buttery soft as described. It's perfectly form-fitting without feeling restrictive and has me feeling put together even when my hair is at its frizziest post-workout." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Splits59 Raquel High Waist Flared Legging
"I'm more drawn to yoga pants and flares than I am to traditional leggings. There is something about this pair of flared leggings from Splits 59 that makes me feel extra cute in a workout class. Pair these with a pair of ballet-inspired Pilates socks and I'm good to go." - Asare
On Cloudrunner 2
"These are my go-to shoes for my 12-3-30 treadmill routine. As a flat-footed girl, the right shoes and the right arch support are key." - Asare
