What are the top fashion trends in designer activewear and workout outfits this summer?
When working out is part of your identity and daily routine, investing in some chic and functional pieces is a must. While those trusty black leggings and tank top will always work, sometimes an update gives you the proverbial kick in the pants that you need to reach those goals.
There was a time when we just wanted to wear the most basic and figure-flattering gear to the gym. Something utilitarian that didn’t draw too much attention to the fact that we might be floundering to the choreography or staying in child’s pose a little too long. But like the age old argument: the chicken or the egg, we argue that wearing something a little extra and yes, trendy, actually gives us better workouts. Don’t wait until you’re setting records to wear something cute. Wear something cute and you’ll feel motivated to go for that extra burpee.
In that spirit, here are the 5 most important trends to know in active wear this spring and summer season.
5 designer fashion trends to know in activewear and workout outfits this summer 2023
Seventies Style
From flower power to wider leg silhouettes, workout clothes are getting a little groovier. It started out with the resurgence of the flared yoga pants that millennials thought they’d never see again. And for summer, we’re seeing fun and colorful prints that pay homage to the seventies with psychedelic influenced tie dye and flower patterns.
1. Beyond Yoga
We’re all about this set crafted in lightweight jersey with 4-way stretch for sweating it out in warmer temps. It’s so cute with its kaleidoscopic flowers that we’re likely to wear it even when not exercising!

Graphic Patterns
Sporty styles and stripes have gone hand in hand (or mitt) for decades. What’s new this season are graphic patterns with a futuristic feeling. Less preppy and more contemporary. The maximalist energy just might give you that turbo boost when you’re struggling to get up for that workout.
4. FP Movement
These citrus laser beams are like a cold glass of OJ in the morning. This super stretchy style complete with a flattering V-neck, crisscross back straps, and skort bottom was made for all the fun outdoor activities like roller skating, tennis, pickleball, and volleyball.

Port De Bras, as the ballet-inspired name suggests, makes the most elegant activewear that’s also made with biodegradable fabric. This unitard features the brand’s signature wave that hugs the figure and elongates your silhouette.

Classic Tennis
Tenniscore is showing no signs of stopping. What’s not to love about this polished and preppy look that works on the court and off? While there are plenty of more fashion forward silhouettes and patterns, this summer, we’re leaning into the clean and crisp color palette of traditional court sports.
7. Splits59
This L.A-based activewear brand stands out with its retro-inspired and eco-conscious designs that have an effortlessly chic look. This cropped polo and skort are crafted in a second skin-like performance fabric that’s super soft and moves with you whether you’re chasing after the ball or trying to make it to happy hour.

Earth Tones
Beyond brown, this season’s earth tones might be considered the quiet luxury option for the workout set. Think unexpected shades inspired by the desert landscape to lighten up your rotation for the warmer months. The best way to make an intentional statement is to keep the look monochrome.
10. Alo Yoga
This studio to street bestselling bra has a ridiculously flattering ruched detailing and smooth as butter fabric. The biker short sculpts, lifts, and smooths like no other. We’re loving this sandy colorway that’s a warm alternative to the perils of wearing white.
