14
items Finding activewear that actually fits and flatters? Harder than it sounds. I've tried a lot of sets, the kind that roll down mid-squat, go see-through, or just make you look like a sad bin bag, so you don't have to. This list is my edit of the best w...

High-Waist Leggings That Actually Stay Up: No Rolling, No Squatting Disasters
High-waist leggings that stay exactly where you put them. No rolling, no tugging, no see-through situations in downward dog. These are my personally tested picks for the best women's gym leggings and yoga shorts, from full-length to short inseam. The...
OK so I own three pairs of these in different colours and I have zero regrets. The Lululemon Align Pant is literally the legging that ruined all other leggings for me. Once you feel the Nulu fabric you will not go back, I promise. It's so soft it fee...
Lululemon Align™ High-Rise Pant: Buttery-Soft High-Waist Yoga Leggings for Women
High-waist yoga shorts that feel like a second skin, and if you already love the Align leggings, these are basically the summer version of that. Same Nulu fabric, same buttery-soft weightless feel, same no-dig high-rise waistband that actually stays ...
Lululemon Align™ High-Rise Short: Buttery-Soft Yoga Shorts with No-Dig Waistband
I bought these as a backup pair and now I reach for them just as often as my Aligns. Same buttery, barely-there feel for a fraction of the price. They stay up through squats and toddler chasing, and they've survived loads of washes.
CRZ Yoga Butterluxe High Waisted Leggings
These are my school-run leggings. Super soft with a gentle hold, and they don't dig in when I'm sitting in the car waiting at pickup. They keep their shape wash after wash, which is saying something in my house.
Nike Zenvy High-Waisted Leggings
When I want to feel a bit more put together, I wear these. The fabric is smooth and sculpting, so they hold everything in without feeling tight. I pair them with a cropped hoodie for coffee dates and nobody knows I came straight from pilates.
Alo Airbrush High-Waist Legging
These have a firmer hold than my Aligns, which I love for strength days. They're made from recycled bottles and come in a huge size range. And no see-through moments in downward dog. I checked in the mirror.
Girlfriend Collective Compressive High-Rise Legging
Gym Bags & Totes That Actually Fit Everything: Water Bottle, Snacks & All
A gym bag that fits your water bottle, a change of clothes, your kids' random snacks, and still looks cute enough to carry into a coffee shop after. These are the workout totes I actually use: spacious, water-resistant, and designed for real life, no...
Gym bag that's also cute enough to carry everywhere else, because I refuse to be that person lugging around an ugly sports bag. The Lululemon Daily Tote is 20L which sounds like a lot but it's the perfect size. It's got exterior drop-in pockets on th...

Skirts & Skorts That Flatter: Cute Enough for Brunch, Practical Enough for the School Run
Activewear skirts and skorts that work for the gym, a walk, brunch, and the school pick-up, basically everywhere. With built-in shorts underneath and a flattering high-rise fit, these are the pieces that blur the line between activewear and actual go...
I do not play tennis. I want to be very clear about that. But this skirt? I wear it literally everywhere. The Lululemon RePleat High-Rise Tennis Skirt has the most flattering pleats that move SO beautifully when you walk, and the built-in shorts unde...

Sports Bras for Yoga & Pilates: Light Support Picks That Are Actually Comfortable to Wear All Day
Light support sports bras designed for yoga, pilates, and low-impact movement, soft enough to wear all day without wanting to rip them off the moment you get home. No underwire, no digging in, no weird padding situations. Just comfortable bras that a...
This was my very first Lululemon purchase, and it's the reason I'm now a Lululemon person. The Flow Y Bra converted me. Minimal seams, super soft underband that doesn't dig in, and optional removable cups with little laser-cut pocket openings on the ...
Lululemon Flow Y Bra: Buttery-Soft Light Support Sports Bra for Yoga & Pilates
Light support sports bra that lives up to the name: the Like a Cloud Longline Bra from Lululemon is that soft. The moulded foam cups are built-in (no removable padding to fish out of the washing machine, you're welcome), lightweight, and surprisingly...
Lululemon Like a Cloud Longline Bra: Light Support Sports Bra
A cute seamless bra that doesn't cost a fortune. It's soft and stretchy, and perfect for pilates, yoga or a long walk with the pram. I own it in three colours now because it goes with every set I have.
Gymshark Vital Seamless Sports Bra
Layers: Hoodies & Jackets for the School Run and Beyond
The pieces I throw over my gym sets when I'm going from class to coffee to school pickup. Cosy, flattering and easy to live in.
This is basically my mum uniform. I throw it over leggings for drop-off, errands and soft play. It's cosy, the oversized fit hides everything, and the big front pocket holds my phone, keys and a rogue snack or two.
Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie
When I want to look like I have my life together, I zip this on. It's fitted and flattering, and it turns any gym set into a proper outfit. The thumbholes are my favourite little detail on chilly mornings.
