There’s nothing better than that post-workout glow. You fall in a sweat and feel accomplished and ready for the day knowing you’ve just done a high-intensity workout, a run, or a quiet yoga session. But to do that, we need to choose an outfit first.
Activewear is the core of any exercise. Tailored clothing will not only make you look stylish and fashionable in the gym, but also feel good and perform at your best.
By now, we all know the benefits of exercise and how it affects our mind and body. So much so that nearly 13 million Australians aged 15 and over participate in sport or physical activity at least three times a week, according to Sport Australia.
Below, we’ve rounded up 10 luxury sportswear labels to make you work out in both comfort and style.
