The other day, my fitness-instructor friend and I were chatting all things activewear over iced lattes when she dropped a major confession that stopped me mid-sip. She told me she feels rather uninspired by her activewear rotation. She wants to wear a photo-worthy outfit to every class, but when she's teaching multiple sweaty classes a day, she runs out of options. It got me thinking that she deserves a little pre-summer activewear refresh, so I did what I do best: curated a new wardrobe for her with the latest pieces from Athleta's summer drop.
Trust me, Athleta's summer campaign is not one to miss. The pieces feel polished and boost your confidence, but still perform how activewear should. With UPF protection and stretchy, supportive, and breathable fabrics, these pieces will move with you through beachside vinyasa flows, canyon hikes, surf sessions, or your favorite workout classes. Keep scrolling to shop all the pieces I put my friend onto for summer.
Sports Bras + Tanks
The importance of a reliable and supportive sports bra cannot be overstated! Luckily, these strike the balance between fashion and function.
Shorts
No lie, I haven't found a pair of Athleta shorts I don't like. From the fast-drying blue bike shorts to the swishy, sunshine-yellow running shorts, there's a color and silhouette for everyone.
Pants
Just when I thought I had enough pairs of leggings, I found these gorgeous capris and buttery-soft lounge pants. They're versatile, elevated, and move with you throughout your day. Call me obsessed.
Swim
Though undeniably stylish, most swimwear isn't cut out for water sports like surfing and swimming. So I recommend these high-tech swimsuits and rash guards that'll keep you covered and protected from the sun and salt water.
