I’m not sure exactly when my love of activewear began. It could’ve been when I first started taking my dance training more seriously, or maybe it was post-COVID during which activewear became my daily uniform with nowhere else other than the supermarket or the park to go for our daily outings. Either way, I now have an overflowing drawer of activewear, and I can firmly say that is one of the most-worn and-loved sartorial categories.
That said, there are also many pieces I bought early on that didn’t live up to their waist-cinching, hip-holding and butt-lifting promises or that simply didn’t wear well. Not great for me, but great news for you, as I have now tried and tested pretty much all of the most well-known sportswear brands, and I’m pleased to report I have some firm favourites.
