From Pilates classes to the dog park to my Instagram feed, I'm surrounded by activewear inspo 24/7. I live in NYC, but I'm visiting L.A. for the month, and I've noticed a few trends that the fitness and wellness crowd on both coasts have officially waved goodbye to—and naturally, some very cool girl coded pieces that have taken their place. Keep reading to see the activewear they're ditching and their very chic replacements, including double-layer bras, matching sets, and sophisticated sweats.
Ditch: Neon Two-Piece Sets
Keep: Sets in Muted Colors
I love a bold color as much as anyone else, but are you really reaching for that neon-green set as often as you thought you would? A pretty, soft aqua or earthy sienna shade is infinitely more timeless.
This bra is perfection. It's ideal for lower-impact exercise like walks, Pilates classes, and yoga flows.
I'm not kidding when I say these are the most comfortable leggings I've ever worn. They're so stretchy and silky-soft.
If you like a more supportive sports bra, this one will be your new favorite. It has a longline cut, a strappy back, and comes in a beautiful French-blue color and classic black, too.
I will forever be a high-waisted leggings girl. The fabric on these is compressive, yet so breathable.
Ditch: Bold Patterned Sports Bras
Keep: Layered Bras
Double-layered bras and tanks are the perfect way to personalize your workout 'fit and make a bit of a statement. They're much more versatile than that patterned sports bra that inevitably gets pushed to the back of your closet.
Wear your sports bra and tank in one. This top's built-in bra makes getting dressed for your workout so much easier.
I'd wear a white sports bra underneath this tank to make the chocolate-brown hue pop more.
This slim, soft bra is great for wearing on its own or layering with other pieces.
Layer the white bra under this gorgeous neutral bra. You're welcome.
Ditch: The Sweatshirt You've Had Forever
Keep: Elevated Sweat Sets
I'm going to hold your hand when I say this: it's time to ditch that old sweatshirt that you've had forever. Once you swap in a plush matching sweat set, you won't go back. Throw on some gold hoops and a pair of sunnies for an easy airport or errands outfit.
I truly can't get enough of this baby-blue color.
Straight-leg sweatpants FTW.
Something about a cropped hoodie just says "fashion person" to me.
Want a more fitted pair of sweats? Reach for these joggers. They have a sleeker silhouette that's still so comfortable.
Ditch: Logo T-Shirts
Keep: Quiet-Luxury Tees
According to workout It girls, logos are officially out. Instead, throw on a logoless top for your pre-workout warmup layer or post-Pilates matcha run.
Baby pink? Say less.
Chocolate brown is the new black.
An oversize black tee is a cool-girl staple.
This tee is begging to be layered over an all-white workout set.
