Workout wear is evolving. It’s been referred to as gym clothing and athleisure for the larger part of a decade, but now, I more often hear it mentioned as sports attire. It’s a dialect pivot that is also reflected in the larger attitude about what we’re wearing for athletic activities. Brands such as Sporty Rich have created entire brands around the sporting world, focusing on aspirational lifestyles where tennis and golf are recreational pursuits.
More brands, too, are entering the fashion space in the sporting world. Most often, they are less focused on performance-driven clothing and more focused on the lifestyle aspect. In many ways, it captures the preppy cool of brands such as Ralph Lauren and Lacoste with modern spins. Malbon and Horse Sport are just a handful that are redefining what sporty attire looks like today and how workout clothing is entering a new era of cool. Ahead, see the brands to know and the pieces to shop.
