21 Best Athleisure Brands to Keep You Stylish, Fit, and Comfy 2021

Nordstrom-made brand Zella combines approachable prices with performance technology for a supportive experience, featured in pieces like these high-waisted, bum-sculpting leggings or an always-there-for-you bra. Whether you’re looking for a casual pair of joggers or a wrap jacket that transitions easily from day to night, the selection at Zella is robust and capable of serving both athletic and everyday needs.

Not only does Athleta offer some of the best performing athletic wear for your most demanding workouts, it also carries beautiful and functional pieces for your busiest work days. Who knew you could find a blazer from an athletic company? There’s also a transitional dress and trendy wide leg trousers. Athleta really has it all for a full look.

Your most divine yoga practice requires divine comfort, and that’s really where Alo delivers. Fabulous prints are combined with fantastic stretch for men and women’s clothes alike. We particularly love the Ambience Short with its stretchy bottom and movable micro mesh top.

If  there was ever a brand that challenged the difference between leggings and pants, it’s Lululemon. There’s a reason that athleisure is oftentimes synonymous with the company. We love the Align High Rise Tight with the added benefit of pockets, buttery fabric, unique colorways, and lengthening effect. Bonus: Tailoring comes for free with any clothing purchase—just let the store know what doesn’t fit and they’ll make the requisite changes for you to pick up within a few days time.

Designed by women for women, Alala understands exactly what the working woman wants from athleisure. High-quality fabrics like beautiful french terry cloth are combined with sophisticated designs, which makes for a collection that you could wear to the office, at home, or on an adventure hike. Check out the Maui Jumpsuit for the pinnacle of comfort and class.

Nathan makes apparel for runners, which means its collection of tops and bottoms are designed to be comfy while you’re on the move. The tops specifically are perfect for transitioning from the treadmill to work, especially the boxy Versa long sleeve shirt.

Allbirds introduced many to the concept of wool sneakers and have since convinced plenty that there is no better footwear material. The brand is here to prove that athleisure isn’t just relegated to shirts and pants, and its fabulous Tree Breezers are great for transitioning from street to office style. Of course, the brand also has beautiful unisex tops and bottoms, including the TrinoXO classic fit tee that makes for an easy, relaxed look.

Vuori activewear is a joy to wear and a joy to behold, thanks to its rich colors, luxurious fabrics, and modern design. Its signature joggers are a wardrobe staple, but so too are their performance tights and tops. The brand’s men’s shirts are also available in a range of beautiful tones to help dress up his athleisure game. 

Comfortable and timeless, Champion has a shirt, sweatshirt, or pair of pants for any occasion. The Reverse Weave Cropped Cut-Off Crew is the perfect length to throw over a workout top for a post-run errand, or a tucked in camisole for a more work-appropriate look.

It’s a good thing that Public Rec finally started making women’s apparel. Now you can finally stop stealing your partner’s joggers—the most comfortable pair of pants you both ever owned—and get some of the brand’s staple basics of your own. We recommend beginning with the essential tee and all day jacket.
