Power Moves

Whether you’re hitting a 6am class or just want to look sporty while sipping your latte, athleisure is here to stay. There’s always a new activewear brand launching somewhere, or a new collection dropping every season. From eco-friendly sets to celeb-approved leggings, these five brands prove that looking cute is a workout essential.

Playful, powerful, and perfectly local

Pops of colour, scalloped seams, and ballet-inspired cuts define this Malaysian brand that’s winning over the fitness community. Designed for both performance and personality, Livlola’s seamless sets and supportive sports bras make every workout a little more fun. Proof that homegrown can absolutely rival global heavyweights.

Sustainability and style

Helmed by Azalea Marzuki and influencer Jenn Chia, Terrae was born out of a love for fashion and the environment. Made ethically from recycled and sustainable materials, this homegrown label offers buttery-soft fabrics that move with you from hot yoga to your favourite local grocery store. Terrae is renowned for its seamless leggings and neutral-toned sets, which ensure all-day comfort.

The cult classic

Lululemon has long reigned supreme in the world of activewear – and for good reason. Since its beginnings in Vancouver in 1998, the brand has mastered the art of sleek, performance-driven design through its proprietary fabrics and body-flattering cuts. Moisture-wicking, sculpting, and utterly elegant, it’s the go-to for anyone who wants to look polished, even mid-sweat.

Performance without the price tag

With roots stretching back to the 1980s, USA Pro champions functional, high-stretch designs that don’t break the bank. From running and yoga to HIIT and pilates, its durable pieces cater to every workout mood. Beyond apparel, the brand also offers a range of equipment and accessories, proving that fitness can be accessible and stylish all at once.

The LA girl aesthetic

Short for Air, Land, and Ocean, Alo Yoga captures the essence of effortless Californian cool. Spotted on celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, Alo’s sleek silhouettes and neutral palettes make the perfect day-to-night wardrobe. With leggings, cropped cover-ups, puffers, and pullovers, it’s athleisure with a glamorous twist.
