4 Activewear Pieces People in L.A. and NYC Are Ditching—and Their Cool-Girl Replacements
From Pilates classes to the dog park to my Instagram feed, I’m surrounded by activewear inspo 24/7. I live in NYC, but I’m visiting L.A. for the month, and I’ve noticed a few trends that the fitness and wellness crowd on both coasts have officially waved goodbye to—and naturally, some very cool girl–coded pieces that have taken their place. Keep reading to see the activewear they’re ditching and their very chic replacements, including double-layer bras, matching sets, and sophisticated sweats.
Ditch: Neon Two-Piece Sets
Keep: Sets in Muted Colors
I love a bold color as much as anyone else, but are you really reaching for that neon-green set as often as you thought you would? A pretty, soft aqua or earthy sienna shade is infinitely more timeless.

AllTheFeels™ Bra in Sea Spray
This bra is perfection. It’s ideal for lower-impact exercise like walks, Pilates classes, and yoga flows.

AllTheFeels™ Legging in Sea Spray
I’m not kidding when I say these are the most comfortable leggings I’ve ever worn. They’re so stretchy and silky-soft.

Yosemite Longline Bra in Burnt Sienna
If you like a more supportive sports bra, this one will be your new favorite. It has a longline cut, a strappy back, and comes in a beautiful French-blue color and classic black, too.

Daily Legging in Burnt Sienna
I will forever be a high-waisted leggings girl. The fabric on these is compressive, yet so breathable.
Ditch: Bold Patterned Sports Bras
Keep: Layered Bras
Double-layered bras and tanks are the perfect way to personalize your workout ‘fit and make a bit of a statement. They’re much more versatile than that patterned sports bra that inevitably gets pushed to the back of your closet.
Wear your sports bra and tank in one. This top’s built-in bra makes getting dressed for your workout so much easier.

AllTheFeels™ Support Tank 2.0 in Java
I’d wear a white sports bra underneath this tank to make the chocolate-brown hue pop more.

Vuori AllTheFeels™ Bra in White
This slim, soft bra is great for wearing on its own or layering with other pieces.

Halo Essential Bra in Nutmeg Heather
Layer the white bra under this gorgeous neutral bra. You’re welcome.
Ditch: The Sweatshirt You’ve Had Forever
Keep: Elevated Sweat Sets
I’m going to hold your hand when I say this: it’s time to ditch that old sweatshirt that you’ve had forever. Once you swap in a plush matching sweat set, you won’t go back. Throw on some gold hoops and a pair of sunnies for an easy airport or errands outfit.

Sedona Pullover Hoodie in Crystal Blue
I truly can’t get enough of this baby-blue color.

Sedona Straight Leg Sweatpant in Crystal Blue
Straight-leg sweatpants FTW.

Halo Mini Full Zip Hoodie in Java Heather
Something about a cropped hoodie just says “fashion person” to me.

Performance Jogger in Java Heather
Want a more fitted pair of sweats? Reach for these joggers. They have a sleeker silhouette that’s still so comfortable.
Ditch: Logo T-Shirts
Keep: Quiet-Luxury Tees
According to workout It girls, logos are officially out. Instead, throw on a logoless top for your pre-workout warmup layer or post-Pilates matcha run.
