4 Activewear Trends You’ll Want to Wear Beyond The Gym

If you’re anything like us, activewear is not just for the gym - it’s an everyday look. Activewear doesn’t just see us through a workout; it now extends beyond the studio and has become a wardrobe essential that follows us every day, powers up our confidence and bolsters our self-belief.

Beyond the gym, your leggings and sports bras can easily be incorporated into the rest of your outfits - especially if they’re as stylish as P.E Nation’s activewear.

We all have our preferences when piecing together our looks. Maybe you found the perfect black leggings, and black-on-black activewear is your everyday uniform. Or P.E Nation Base Colour is your favourite collection, and you love a hit of bright colours for your HIIT workouts.

Whether logomania is one of your favourite activewear trends or you like sleek athleisure clothing with a minimal look, here are 4 fresh activewear trends you’ll want to wear beyond the gym.

#1 Tone-on-Tone Activewear

If matching workout sets are your go-to gym outfit, then the tone-on-tone activewear trend is made for you. Coordinating your gym outfits a nd completing with stylish women's gym shorts is an effortless way to look put together while sweating it out. The beauty of a tone-on-tone look is that it helps create a sleek silhouette that features one colour from head to toe. In fact, it looks so good you’ll want to wear your tone-on-tone fit outside the gym too.

The P.E Nation Base Colour Collection is a great place to start if you're looking for tone-on-tone workout clothes. Featuring every kind of ton-sur-ton option you can imagine. From bold, bright colours, soft pastel hues, black and grey essentials and pared-back neutral shades of beige, brown and peach colourways – any colour top you choose will have a coordinating bottom to match, as well as sweats, oversized hoodies and jackets to layer over your look.

For the ultimate all-day outfit, we recommend pairing a tonal sports crop and legging co-ord with a jumper or jacket of the same colour, depending on the day and season.

#2 Colour Block Activewear

Colour Block activewear is at the core of P.E Nation’s collections. Born from the concept and need to create a universal, all-day wardrobe for the active urban lifestyle, P.E Nation’s inaugural collection centred around compressive colour block workout leggings. Designed as a functional piece to take you through your workout, all while delivering a high-fashion aesthetic to take you beyond training and across all aspects of a nonstop day. Since then, colour block fashion has remained our signature design code for our activewear.

Each new P.E Nation collection release centres around a focused colour palette, meaning any item you choose from that season will seamlessly fit back with any other piece from the range.

Colour block activewear is an effortless way to add bold pops of colour to your everyday looks. And if you’re not confident with how to add colour to your outfits, choosing colour block workout leggings or a sports bra or sweats and jumpers with multi-tone detail means the hard work is already done for you. From there, all you have to do is pair it up with plain athleisure clothing, denim or outerwear.

If you’re starting small and don’t want to go full-colour block activewear straight out of the gate, adding a colour pop to your outfit with a bright cap, bag or pair of socks from the P.E Nation Accessories range is the perfect entry point.

#3 Pastel Activewear

If soft pastel colours are more your aesthetic over bold and bright hues, you’ll love the pastel activewear trends. We love a head-to-toe pastel gym outfit for studio sessions, from yoga to barre and reformer pilates. But a pastel activewear set paired with some high-fashion sneakers and a jacket will also look stunning on the streets.

The P.E Nation Base Colour Collection has a beautiful range of pastel fashion hues to choose from - think dusty purple Heron, muted Wax Yellow, off-white Pearled Ivory, light blue Summer Sky, and soft pink Candy colourways. With all block colour and minimal branding, they’re an effortless addition to your wardrobe, delivered with timeless appeal.

Create an elevated selection of everyday basics for your closet using the Base Colour Collection. Start by teaming a Base Colour sports crop and legging together for your workout, layer it with a Base Colour tee for brunch, and elevate the whole look with a blazer on top for an instantly levelled-up look.

#4 Athleisure Clothing

Elevated activewear trends are here to stay, whether you call it sports luxe, athleisure, or something else. With life back to almost normal and busier than ever, we need our wardrobes to work as hard as we do. At the same time, with a million hats to wear and tasks to accomplish, we deserve to choose outfits that make us feel comfortable, look good, and feel confident enough to own each moment of the day.

The P.E Nation tiered approach to activewear trends across womenswear and menswear ensures every aspect of your sports luxe wardrobe is catered to. Baseline and Base Colour collections provide all the performance and loungewear basics you need to set you up for exercise and an active lifestyle - however that looks for you.
