Staying active and healthy is essential for everyone - and choosing the right activewear means you won't sacrifice your sense of style. 

Incorporating style into your busy lifestyle can be a great way to feel motivated and confident in your fitness journey. Here are some tips for staying active and healthy by choosing the right activewear.

Invest in Quality Activewear

When it comes to staying energised, one of the most important things you can do is invest in quality activewear. Not only will it be more comfortable and durable, but it can also help you look and feel your best. Look for clothing that fits well and flatters your body. Consider investing in pieces that can easily transition from the gym to other activities.

We are all very aware of hugely popular activewear brands like Lululemon, Nike, and Athleta. Nevertheless, many up-and-coming brands like ourselves offer unique, sustainable and stylish activewear options.

From inception, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that our activewear is as sustainable as possible, from locally sourced materials to environmentally conscious UK-based manufacturers who, like us, focus on zero waste. We are rightly proud that even the garment off-cuts are restitched to create our gorgeous (and recyclable) shipping bags and gift pouches. It shows that reducing waste is easily attainable with the right approach.

Feel free to try something new and find what works best for you.

Accessorise your Activewear with Function and Style

In addition to activewear, accessories also play a role in staying active and healthy with style. A good pair of shoes is essential for any fitness activity, and you can still maintain style and function. There are many stylish options for athletic shoes, whether you prefer trainers or something more minimalist, like barefoot shoes from popular brands such as VIVOBarefoot.

Other accessories include hats, sunglasses, and fitness trackers. These add massively to your style and motivation for your fitness routine. Many wellness professionals recommend walking at least 10,000 steps daily - pretty daunting right? That is until you start using a fitness tracker like a watch or a mobile phone and realise you've been getting close to that target more often than you imagined. It gives you a huge confidence boost.

Try Different Fitness Activities where Activewear really makes a difference.

Another way to incorporate activewear into your lifestyle is to try different fitness activities. Experimenting with other activities can not only help you stay motivated and prevent boredom, but it can also help you discover new styles and trends.

Try activities like yoga, dance, or even rock climbing. See what kind of activewear and accessories are recommended in those communities. You may discover a new passion and a new style to accompany it.

Make Healthy Eating Fun

Staying active and healthy also involves maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet, but that doesn't mean sacrificing style in the kitchen. In fact, making healthy eating fun and stylish can be a great way to stay motivated and creative in your meal planning.

Consider investing in stylish and functional kitchen tools, like colourful cutting boards or a sleek blender. You can also experiment with new recipes and presentation styles to make healthy meals more exciting and enjoyable.

Find Inspiration in Social Media and Fitness Influencers

Social media can be an excellent motivation for finding the right activewear while staying active and healthy. Countless vloggers and bloggers share their personal fitness journeys and style tips online, providing inspiration and ideas for incorporating fashion into your busy lifestyle.

Follow your favourite fitness influencers on Instagram, YouTube, or other social media platforms. Feel free to engage with their content and ask for advice. You may discover new brands and products, as well as new workouts and fitness activities.

Set Goals and Track Your Progress

Setting goals and tracking your progress can also help you stay motivated and stylish in your fitness journey. Consider developing short-term and long-term goals, and track your progress using a fitness tracker or journal. Celebrate your successes and reward yourself with new activewear or accessories.

Finding the right activewear is about what works best for you and incorporating your style into your fitness routine. 

Whether you prefer classic and timeless styles or bold and trendy looks, there are plenty of ways to stay stylish, active, and healthy. So go ahead and experiment, have fun, and make your fitness journey a stylish and enjoyable one.
