The best Outdoor Voices products in 2025
Energy Dress
$118.00
Outdoor Voices
Workout dresses are lightweight, airy and the perfect attire for activities like tennis and pickleball. This dress is an updated take on the older Exercise Dress and has a short, stylish A-line silhouette. It's made from a nylon-spandex blend that's both quick-drying and sweat-wicking, according to the brand. It also has a built-in shorts liner with two side pockets that are deep enough for your phone, keys and other accessories.
This pleated skort has built-in shorts with a two and a half-inch inseam, and is made from a textured compression fabric that's designed to be breathable and flattering, according to the brand. The fabric is a polyester-spandex blend that wicks sweat as you wear, and is machine-washable on a cold cycle. The built-in shorts also include sticky-gripper liners that help the hem stay in place, according to the brand.
These shorts have a medium-rise cut that hits about an inch below the belly button and a three-inch inseam, making them great for runners (and walkers). They have silicone gripper bands around the thighs to help them stay up while you move, and are made from a soft, stretchy poly-spandex. You can wash them on a cold cycle and tumble dry on a low dryer setting.
These shorts are ideal for those who prefer a higher rise — the waistband sits directly below the belly button, with a three-inch inseam on the bottom, according to the brand. They're made from a breathable blend of nylon, lycra, and polyester, making them stretchy and sweat-wicking. The shorts also have a UPF rating of 50+, according to the brand.
This skort has a classic, straight-edge tennis skirt design and includes built-in sticky gripper short liners, according to the brand. The poly-spandex fabric is quick-drying and absorbs moisture, and is also machine-washable. The skort also has a hand-embroidered OV logo at the hem.
This bra has medium support and adjustable straps. The soft, poly-spandex material is stretchy and dries quickly, making it ideal for low- to medium-intensity workouts, according to Outdoor Voices. You can wash this bra on a cold machine cycle and dry it on a low setting, according to the brand.
If you're looking for a sports bra that will hold you in place during higher-intensity workouts, the Orbit Bra may be just what you need. It's designed to withstand medium impact and has a soft elastic band that flatters and sculpts your midsection, according to the brand. The poly-spandex fabric absorbs sweat and dries quickly, too, and has a compressive yet breathable feel, according to Outdoor Voices.
These signature leggings are designed with a compressive fit and are made from a mid-weight, poly-spandex blend. The⅞ length hits just above the ankle and also have a two-tone paneled design and a hidden front pocket for storing small trinkets like keys and lip gloss.
These leggings are perfect for high-intensity workouts like sprinting, lifting, dancing and more. They have a high rise and a structured, bonded waistband that's designed to stay put, and is made from sweat-wicking, stretchy nylon and lycra, according to the brand. The leggings also have a back pocket for easy storage, and UPF 50+ protection.

Millennials went wild for Outdoor Voices. Can it become cool again?
In the 2010s, millions of millennials made the lurch into adulthood, bringing with us our famed earnestness and idealism as well as our gently tasteful Millennial Aesthetic. Declared immortal in 2020, pronounced dead 2021, said Aesthetic washed out our homes and gathering spaces in dusty pink and sage green, with soft arch-shaped accents and big, groovy plants. It wiped away maximalist commercial culture to replace it with pleasing, Instagram-friendly sans serif fonts and ad campaigns starring models with freckles. A totem of this particular time: the undyed canvas Outdoor Voices tote, bearing its 'Technical Apparel for Recreation' tagline in a bubbly blue font. It bobbed around city blocks on the shoulders of women who sometimes also wore the brand's distinctive, pale-pastel-color-dipped leggings, or its tennis-adjacent Exercise Dress, or the baseball cap that bore its tail-waggingly cheery slogan, 'Doing Things.' By the end of the decade, you could route yourself to almost any major metro area's liveliest postgrad neighborhood just by Googling directions to the local Outdoor Voices. Parsons School of Design graduate Ty Haney founded Outdoor Voices in 2013 at the age of 23. The former track athlete quickly rose to fame alongside it, a trajectory common to a whole class of young, stylish female founders of the then-burgeoning direct-to-consumer movement. Haney was pushed out of the role in 2020, but the company came under new ownership last year and announced last week that Haney had returned to the helm. (Also, as it happens, a common development lately for said class of female founders.) In the week since the announcement, a flurry of TikTok videos have materialized celebrating the return of 'Ty,' with whom fans seem to be on a parasocial first-name basis. The first collection of her second stint dropped Tuesday. Outdoor Voices 1.0 was earnest, it was friendly, it made the pursuit of health feel fun. It was, in many ways, an ur-millennial brand, free of irony and determinedly welcoming. But it worked the first time because it was — to borrow a then-buzzword — disruptive. Now Haney faces the tricky assignment of once again standing out in an athleisure market over which Outdoor Voices has undeniably exerted an influence. Back in 2013, workout gear was 'like, shiny black Spandex and superhuman-looking,' Haney told me this week. 'I wanted to go the other way, with neutrals and texture, things that would integrate nicely into your daily wardrobe.' So in the early years, Outdoor Voices' matte color palette largely consisted of light, creamy hues called 'oatmeal' and 'ash' and 'beach' and 'white sand.' Even the more saturated tones had names such as 'dandelion' and 'evergreen,' and the high neck- and waistlines of most OV garments gave even their body-hugging high-compression workout sets a sweetly modest affect. Today, if something gets described, or derided, as 'millennial-coded,' chances are it looks like Outdoor Voices: 'It definitely set the tone in a lot of ways for that era, in terms of, like, 'clean and simple,'' Haney said, then added, laughing, 'and sans serif.' At the time, its conviction that exercise didn't have to be punishing — Haney fondly remembers an ad campaign built entirely around dog-walking — won over legions of shoppers. More came into the fold when the brand began offering community events such as group hikes and fun runs. And still others, myself (25 at the time, married only to my gym membership, regularly washing sweaty yoga clothes to the point of disintegration) included, got converted just by the shocking durability of the clothes. Technical apparel for recreation, indeed. In some ways, 2025 America might seem like a perfect climate for the return of OG OV. Gen Z women are carrying their Owala FreeSip water bottles (gentle colors, sans serif font) to the Pilates studio after work instead of meeting up for happy hour. Now, though, the athleisure market is flooded with Exercise Dress copycats and candy-colored two-piece compression sets. (And the latter feel 'a little tired,' Haney quipped.) Not to mention brand-sponsored run clubs and yoga events. After the announcement of Haney's return, Outdoor Voices released the first preview image of her new collection: a black zip-up hoodie with a cursive, bedazzled 'Doing Things,' a notion that would have sounded like parody — or blasphemy — in 2015, given Outdoor Voices' famously understated look at the time. But a decade later, as Gen Z gleefully revives the gaudy, goofy styles of the early 2000s, the concept feels on-trend, if not on-brand. ('What in the Juicy Couture Y2K is going on right now,' replied a chorus of TikTok reaction videos.) Among the other new offerings are looser-fitting variations on the Exercise Dress in black and white, shorts and workout bras in vibrant canary yellow, and grass-green and pastel cardigans made of a cotton-cashmere blend. The collection's single style of leggings is a similarly Y2K-invoking black capri. This new Outdoor Voices has 'more details' and is 'more fashion-driven,' Haney said. 'I think the whole ecosystem of activewear brands has gotten a little bit boring and plain and bland.' In Haney's absence, Outdoor Voices was displaced from dominance by brands such as Alo and Vuori, whose workoutwear is frequently photographed in settings that suggest $300-a-month fitness club memberships and luxe beach getaways ('I am somewhat shocked that the '[fitness as] recreation' path is still so wide open for us to own,' Haney mused) and tend to offer a surfeit of earth tones alongside one or two bolder accent colors. Their muted 2020s color palettes, arguably, are a downstream effect of Outdoor Voices' muted 2010s color palette, though 2010s OV looks Lisa Frank-esque in comparison. Haney wants the brand to once again lead athleisure in a new direction. So rhinestones and capri pants and loud fabrics may be what's required for Outdoor Voices 2.0 to stand out in a post-Outdoor Voices 1.0 world. Still, a certain subset of women might be content to order those 1.0 staples from Haney forever if she were to keep making them, buying back pieces of their youth. 'Outdoor Voices is making a comeback. And it feels like 2019 again,' one New Yorker rejoiced on TikTok. In Los Angeles, another user mimed blowing cobwebs off a blue 'Doing Things' cap. And one woman who had posted in jubilation in response to 'Ty' 'rising from the ashes' posted again a few days later: 'Just dusted off this vintage, archival, authentic Outdoor Voices exercise dress,' read the caption. In a polka-dot version, she posed whimsically for a moment before slurping her iced coffee and pushing a bassinet stroller out of frame.

Reneé Rapp Just Addressed Those Cheating Claims on ‘Call Her Daddy'
Reneé Rapp is back on Call Her Daddy hot off the release of her sophomore album, Bite Me, and she's getting candid about how her personal life plays into its lyrics. ICYMI, the singer-songwriter has been catching side-eyes on a certain side of the internet thanks to her new track, 'You'd Like That Wouldn't You,' which alludes to potentially cheating in a relationship. Upon listening to the song, fans on TikTok began theorizing that Reneé may have cheated on her ex, Alissa Carrington, with her current girlfriend, Towa Bird —and the artist is weighing in on the discourse. View full post on Instagram During the episode, Reneé revealed that the song almost didn't make the final cut of the album because she wrote it when she was 'really stressed' in Nashville and decided to add in the 'cheeky line about like, I would never cheat again.' Eventually, she slotted it in as the closing song on her tracklist. 'I feel so relieved to be able to poke fun at something so horrible that happened to me and make light of it and something that I did at one point that I'm not proud of. I was like, this feels so fucking good to get out,' Reneé told CHD host and former Cosmo cover girl, Alex Cooper. She also admitted that she was worried her lyrics would be misinterpreted, adding, 'And then months later I was like, 'Oh my god, what if it isn't received in the right way? I don't know if I want to put that much of my personal life out there. I don't know what I did.' Ultimately, what I always come back to is, no one knows every intimate detail of my life. This is how it should be. That is okay. I made something that I am really proud of.' While she wasn't clear about timelines, Reneé admitted to cheating in a past relationship during an interview with Ziwe Fumudoh before she dropped her album on August 1. 'Is it okay for straight women to cheat if it's with another woman?' Ziwe asked, to which Reneé replied, 'Totally. It's discovering yourself.' She then got candid about her journey when she was asked if she had ever cheated. 'Yeah, it was fucked up,' she admitted, adding, 'I was in a miserable relationship, which doesn't excuse cheating. I'm not saying that. It doesn't excuse cheating.' View full post on TikTok 'I got super drunk with one of my friends, and then I woke up the next morning, and was like, 'All right, I think it's time to pack this one up,'' she explained without going into full detail. It's unclear whether she was referring to her most recent relationship or a previous connection. Towa performed as the opening act for the U.S. and European leg of Reneé's Snow Hard Feelings Tour from September 2023 to March 2024, and the pair hard-launched their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party soon after.
