ELLE Editors Share Their Ultimate Workout Clothes And Accessories
There's a lot of stuff out there, and not all fashion pieces are created equal. Luckily, the ELLE editors know their way around a shopping rail, and when it comes to helping you find those perfect wardrobe building blocks, they're up to the task. From the new and niche brands worth knowing to high-street hits of quality, and a few vintage treasures too, our ELLE Edits showcase the very best of the season. The best activewear clothes and accessories will adapt to an array of activities, whether you're pursuing a PB in your local run club or perfecting a pose in Barre. But beyond the gym floor, the rise of WFH has seen many of us adopt athleisure as everyday wear. We now rely on sculpting leggings that wash well and will look as good when worn for Reformer as meeting friends for a weekend brunch, and trainers that deliver as highly in the style stakes as they do on a mixed trail run. The rapid growth of the UK wellness industry (said to be worth over $223 billion in 2024) has also seen a plethora of new brands enter the market since 2010. The likes of Tala, Sporty and Rich, Adanola, Varley and On have quickly amassed loyal fan bases and impressive social media followings, while LA starlets Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid are often seen wearing athleisure separates to run errands. With many Gen Z and Millennials now choosing a run club over a debauched night out, there exists a wealth of fitness product whether you're seeking to level up in Soul Cycle, F45, Barrecore or strength training. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Lululemon is loved for its leggings, On counts Zendaya and Mia Regan as fans, and Adanola enlisted Kendall Jenner for an edit having seen gross profits surge by 124% in 2024. We've also witnessed the rise of the Fashion Trainer, spearheaded by Wales Bonner for Adidas, whose cult designs can reach resale prices exceeding $500. But how to choose the correct kit? When seeking separates for high intensity workouts, yoga or Pilates, look for polyester, nylon, elastane and spandex, which are known for their moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch. More eco-conscious blends of cotton and bamboo will feel soft against the skin and suit lighter movement. Running shoes should offer flexibility and support to cushion your feet, and styles differ for trail running versus flat roads or shorter, more casual runs. As a rule, look for waterproof trainers with mesh vents on the upper to boost airflow and allow any moisture to escape, keeping your feet cooler and reducing the risk of blisters. Gait analysis is often offered free as part of the fitting service in running shoe stores and will help you choose the shoe spec best suited to your foot type, terrain and running motion. Many brands now offer multiple lengths in leggings, whether you're petite, tall, or just fancy the extra coverage, and most gymwear doesn't need to be hand-washed – just use a gentle spin at 30 degrees for a minimal time then air dry. To power up your next workout, we've enlisted a selection of seasoned ELLE editors (who favour a variety of sporting pursuits) to share their favourite gym kit and accessories. 'I alternate between Spin and Reformer classes so need flattering, comfortable leggings that suit both pastimes. With Adanola having achieved cult status (and endorsement from Kaia Gerber, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Emily Ratajkowski) I bought a pair of its Ultimate Leggings and can attest to the product name's bold promise. With a four-way stretch fabric, they have a higher waistline for extra support and contour and come in three lengths – ankle, cropped, and tall. They wash brilliantly and I've been known to pair them with slingbacks and an oversized blazer at weekends. As well as the core collection of neutral colourways like black, navy and brown, there are seasonal drops of new shades. I'll soon be adding the Wrap Over style to basket to tap into the balletcore trend.' - Esther Coombes, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Luxury 'My workouts would be nothing without my Panache sports bra. The underwired style sees me through all sorts of gym activities from rebounding to weights, Pilates to Barre. I appreciate the way it has total coverage to ensure that I am held in place throughout. I was advised during its initial fitting to size up in the band and down in the cup and would recommend you do the same.' - Naomi Pike, Commissioning Editor Paid content 'As a city dweller who travels mostly on foot, I'm keen to track my step count and sleep cycles, so the new Watch Fit 4 Pro from Huawei is high on my wish list. Akin to having a personal wellness coach on your wrist, this stylish new wearable tech tracks your sleep duration and stage chart, and offers real-time monitoring of your ECG, heart rate and oxygen levels. Ranking as one of the lightest smart watch models on the market and with up to 10 days battery time after a full charge, you can choose from three sleek colour ways (I'd opt for Titanium Blue). The Trail Running Mode, with offline contour maps, GPS guidance and terrain-specific stats may influence me to be a little more daring on a weekend run, too.' - Esther Coombes, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Luxury 'My performances in Reformer classes would be nothing without the support of my Lululemon Align tank top; it unwaveringly hoists and hugs in all of the right places so that no matter the contortion of my body, I'm supported. I couldn't be without it (and the Align leggings are fantastic too).' - Naomi May, Deputy Site Editor 'Peloton leggings are a hidden gem. The plain black pair I have are my favourites by far – no underwear visible, they never fall down, hug you the perfect amount and don't fade or bobble (and I've worn them a lot). Their sizing is inclusive (it runs from XS to 3X) and they have an amazing range of patterns and colours. They also now collab with Lululemon. I've loved lots of the sportswear I've tried from the brand, but their leggings need to be tried to be believed. You'll be converted.' - Rhiannon Evans, Site Director 'As someone who sticks mainly to heeled boots or ballet flats, I loathe to wear trainers. But when Lululemon debuted the surprisingly stylish Chargefeel 3 – with their breathable mesh upper, silhouette-smoothing sock upper and featherweight sole – I found myself wanting to wear them outside of the gym, too.' - Abigail Southan, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Fashion and Beauty 'As a Wimbledon native, I like to nod to my heritage and Ralph Lauren's collaboration with the Championships is just the ticket. As Official Outfitter of Wimbledon, Ralph Lauren launches new merch ahead of each year's tennis competition, and this preppy-inspired crew neck jumper will be perfect pre and post workout.' - Esther Coombes, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Luxury 'I never normally read too much into the name of a trainer but the On Cloudmonster 2s really do live up to theirs. Bouncy and beautifully cushioned, I can spring around the park in these and then also wear them to the office.' - Hannah Nathanson, Features Director 'You might know Spanx for its shapewear, but the legendary lingerie brand also does the most amazing activewear, too. As well as the collection's control leggings, I like to slip into this half-zip top which is ludicrously comfy. It's sweat-wicking, so you can workout in it, but I might have been known to wear it with the matching trackies to the pub too...' - Abigail Southan, Senior Ecommerce Editor, Fashion and Beauty Esther Coombes is the Senior Ecommerce Editor at Harper's Bazaar, ELLE and Esquire, overseeing luxury shopping content across fashion, beauty, travel and homes.

Whether she's breezing through a Lagree class, curating a clean, off-duty look, or serving banana pudding at her pop-up café, there's a quiet intention behind it all. At 22, she's built a lifestyle brand around fashion, fitness, and food—interests shaped early on by her mother's timeless style. 'She made me fall in love with fashion as a form of self-expression,' Aris says. Today, that influence lives on in her wardrobe: part Chanel and Miu Miu, part Source Unknown and Adanola—elegant, unfussy, and always moving. Her next move? An activewear line that blends performance with identity. 'I want to create a space where people feel confident, motivated, and comfortable being themselves—on and off the gym floor.' Then there's The Brunch Club, her seasonal café where coffee, matcha, and warm desserts set the tone. 'It brings together everything I love—good food, a calm atmosphere, and real connection.' For Aris, these aren't separate lanes—they're part of the same rhythm: a considered way of living that's less about perfection, more about feeling good in your own skin. A Night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 'You can never go wrong with a matching set,' Aris tells SceneStyled. 'I'm really drawn to this look because it embodies modesty, and the subtle hint of gold detailing adds a touch of elegance that I just adore.'

Goodbye woke, fashion is entering its ‘boom boom' era
Saturday afternoon in Chelsea, and two young women in their early 20s are having brunch. I can't stop staring at them – and not on account of their freshly enhanced lips. It's their clothes that have transfixed me. This is partly because, as a north Londoner, I'm not used to seeing young women brunching without their Adanola sweatshirts and Lululemon leggings. Mainly, however, it's because they're wearing fur – real fur – without fear or apology. However 'real' the fakes might look these days, the lustre of mink is unmistakable. In fact, it's as unmistakable as is the mood change currently sweeping through fashion. Something new is afoot, and fur is only a part of it. Other components include ultra-high heels, power shoulders, corsets and camisoles for daywear; louche fabrics (velvet, brocade, lace); a surfeit of leather; the fetishisation of tailoring and office wear; exaggerated proportions (pannier hips, balloon sleeves, ruffled skirts). Not to mention ostentatious and/or impractical handbags (the Chloé Paddington revival, the mobile phone-shaped Judith Leiber handbag that sold earlier this year on resale site The RealReal for $6,000). This is not just about splashing the cash on big-ticket items, though that is often a part of it. It's about prioritising opulence over proving that you're socially and environmentally conscious. Out go the sustainably sourced, wash-at-30-degrees cotton shirts: in come the high-maintenance, dry-clean only fabrics. It's wearing Versace with the unapologetic sexiness of Sabrina Carpenter, or breathing new life into vintage Lacroix, like Jennifer Lawrence. Speaking of which, it's no accident that the most exuberantly colourful designer of the 1980s is enjoying a revival: Christian Lacroix's aesthetic fits perfectly with the times. OK, archival fashion isn't always as sustainable as it seems as many dresses are remakes of the originals. But that's not the point. The point is to look fabulous. Although really, it's as much about a new mood as a new look. After seasons spent caring about the provenance of everything – where it was made, who it was made by, what it consists of – fashion is moving into a different gear. Rather than driving diligently in the slow lane, it's taken off the handbrake and is speeding into a future focused less on frugality and more on fun. Put simply: fashion is showing signs of having given up on woke. When Melania Trump wore her 'I really don't care, do u?' Zara parka to visit a child migrant detention centre in 2018, it felt jarring and out of touch. Seven years later, it feels close to capturing the current mood. 'I do think people are tired of woke,' agrees brand consultant and journalist Melanie Rickey, whose podcast, The Enoughness, encourages people to shop mindfully for no more than they need. 'We've had a decade of it already; people are over it. That's why Trump got in. Everyone got too carried away with wokery. They alienated the other side, who are seeking revenge – so it has a lot to answer for.' Whether fashion's carelessly opulent mood is a form of revenge dressing is a matter of opinion. But a report by trends intelligence and consumer platform LS:N Global seems to support the idea that people are suffering from woke fatigue, and would rather spend money on what feels right for them, rather than for the planet. 'In 2025, consumers are more into experiential escapism than ever before,' notes foresight analyst Seyi Oduwole. 'Fashion is increasingly creating exclusive and bespoke experiences for those consumers looking to escape the volatility and uncertainty they face.' It's this uncertainty that is driving the change. At times like these, you can hardly blame people for embracing an escapist mindset, and clothes are a part of that. Rather than virtue signalling, we want them to signal that we're up for a good time. In New York, they're calling the mood 'boom boom', a term coined by the trend forecaster Sean Monahan, who also came up with the trends 'normcore' (2013) and 'vibe shift' (2022). Presumably, Monahan was inspired by a recent Marc Jacobs party held in the mirrored enclaves of The Boom Boom Room, a club on the top floor of New York's The Standard Hotel. 'There's something sleazy about the simplicity of saying something is very boom boom,' he told The Cut magazine. Sleaze is an undeniable element of the new mood. 'Boom boom' might be glamorous and overdressed, but it's also subversive. Alessandro Michele nails the aesthetic at Valentino, where he's bringing the same exuberant maximalism that he formerly brought to Gucci. He staged the most recent Valentino show in a set designed to look like a public toilet, a counterpoint to the glamour of the clothes that brought them down a notch, anchoring them in the real world, despite their pomp. Fittingly, his guest of honour was Chappell Roan, the queer 27-year-old pop sensation beloved by Gen Z for her outrageous looks and her outspoken views. Roan looks very 'boom boom'; the rose-embroidered crinoline she wore to the Valentino show is basically a blueprint for the new era. But she is also an activist, and one whom Donald Trump would likely cite as the definition of woke. Fashion and wokery have never made happy bedfellows. For all its attempts at sustainability, fashion exists to sell new products, whose creation, however mindful, can only ever deplete the very resources it claims to want to preserve. Much of its activism has been dismissed as posturing. Think of Karl Lagerfeld's 2014 Chanel show in which the models cosplayed protest with 'Make Fashion Not War' banners, or Maria Grazia Chiuri's 2016 Dior collection with its £250 'We Should All Be Feminists' T-shirts. Compare that with the $55 'You're A Slave To Money Then You Die' tee now being sold by online retailer SSense, and you have an idea of the current mood change. No-one is doubting Maria Grazia Chiuri's feminist credentials, but it would be in poor taste for Dior to sell a feminist T-shirt after the owners of its parent company, LVMH – the billionaire Arnault family – were pictured pride of place next to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos at president Trump's inauguration. Earlier this week, the Trump administration listed 'feminism' as one of the words it wanted to purge in its war on woke initiatives. Customers, particularly younger ones, are highly sensitive to hypocrisy, and hold brands to far higher account than they will ever hold themselves. Gen Z might have a reputation for being sustainably-minded consumers, but those who live among them might have a different take. 'Of course I buy fast fashion,' says Lily, an 18 year-old student from Leeds. 'People shouldn't be shamed for shopping at Primark when it's all they can afford. It's not Gen Z's fault that everything costs so much. We didn't make this mess. Sorry, but you've got to have money to have ethics.' She has a point. When the people who have money don't always appear to have ethics either, you can begin to see why tooling around in sustainable hemp might lose its lustre, or why shopping for a T-shirt with the fewest air miles to its name might seem like a pointless task. It's harder to act for the betterment of the planet when those in power are brazenly looking after Number One. For all the negative connotations that have unfairly become attached to it, all being 'woke' means is being alert to injustice. 'Wokery has worked in fashion up to a point,' notes Rickey. 'The decade of intense fashion activism that followed the Rana Plaza disaster in 2014, for example, has been instrumental to the sustainability conversation, and activists like Orsola De Castro, Aja Barber and Livia Firth were a key part in that change. 'Their work educated a large swathe (though not all) of Gen Z to make better choices, to the extent that their work is baked into many of that generation's thinking about fashion and style. The rise of secondhand shopping on Vinted & eBay is testament to that.' Rather than focusing on sustainability, Rickey believes the focus should be on responsibility. 'My take is that heavy-handed wokery is not needed for the time being. It's done its job for now. People are more sophisticated – they interrogate their choices more. Choosing carefully and well is the way forward. 'If we can use our own knowledge to make our own educated decisions about what we need – and use our own personal agency – that is the win.'

Kendall Jenner Just Dared to Revive the Divisive Newsboy Cap Trend of the 2000s
Is Kendall Jenner also doing press for A Complete Unknown and nobody told me about it? Because this suede jacket, big scarf, newsboy cap look is giving pure 1960s Bob Dylan. Or perhaps Joan Baez. Not that I'm mad at any of it. Perhaps we should all be dressing more like we're struggling artists living in the Village in the '60s. Jenner looked ready to write some poetic folk music on February 10 in New York City while wearing a brown suede jacket top with cropped black jeans, which revealed her white socks and black loafers combo. She accessorized the look with a black newsboy cap (which are definitely coming back, by the way) as well as a gray fringed blanket scarf wrapped around her chest. It is very much the kind of scarf that Lenny Kravitz might be photographed wearing in 2012. To complete her 'fit, Jenner added narrow black sunglasses and a brown saddlebag purse. It's a retro yet updated way to do winter layers, and we should all be taking notes. Especially when it comes to the mixing of browns and blacks. While Kendall Jenner was all about black-with-a-pop-of-red looks back in 2024, in the new year she's been embracing all kinds of browns in different fabrics and textures. Jenner has been seen in structured brown blazers and modeling brown and beige dresses for Schiaparelli and Adanola. Meanwhile, her off-duty looks have, like this outfit, consisted of laid-back layers of denim, leather, and suede. She's even ventured into the world of fur coats and hats, according to at least one recent Instagram post. I don't know if Kendall Jenner is intentionally channeling vintage beatnik culture with her outfits these days. Or maybe she's just getting her inspiration from sister Kylie Jenner's boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet. Either way, something about the style is working. Originally Appeared on Glamour
