I have a big collection of sweatshirts and sweatpants, and while I love them so much, they've ended up taking up a lot of space in my closet. I made the difficult decision to get rid of the mismatched sweats in favor of matching sets and a very fun trend, the windbreaker. I love when an '80s staple comes back, and it's the perfect lightweight addition to any workout look.

A lot of people are referring to the period between 2016 and 2018 as their "King Kylie era," so I will too. Back then, activewear was all about bright colors and neon. I still had a few reminders of that past in my drawers, and during my closet cleanout, I finally let them go. While I still love colors, the neutral color palette is a real winner right now.

Ah, the Meredith Blake aesthetic. A TikTok trend recently reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from The Parent Trap. The look that Blake wore while hiking with the twins and their dad has inspired a focus on black-and-white activewear. However, overly contrasted color-blocking seems to be taking a back seat for now.

It was really hard to let go of my tie-dye leggings that were so cute and fun, but the time has come. I've finally given in and begun adding onesies to my wardrobe. Whether it be a full-blown bodysuit, romper, or dress, I want it.

There are leggings that I've held on to just in case one day I feel like wearing them. Big mistake. The leggings in my closet that don't see the light of day finally had to go, many of which just weren't high-quality enough to fit my workout routine. I've tried all of the brands that I've listed below and rely on them for quality activewear.
