8 fashion activewear brands you need to know
To quote Olivia Newton-John: ‘Let’s get physical!’ We’ve got the perfect sportswear brands that’ll make you look stylish while getting physical at the gym
By Nora Jumari and Shazrina Shamsudin -
We wish we belonged to the group of fitspo fanatics who look forward to going to the gym, but in all honesty, we don’t. The pain, the sweat, the tears – it’s not a pretty sight. However, these eight sportswear brands have actually got us excited to stretch those glutes – even better, you can wear these sporty yet stylish pieces outside the gym, too. After all, athleisure is the current fad (see Gigi Hadid and Jessica Alba), so why not jump on the bandwagon?

Breaking a sweat can be very relaxing for both your body and mind. But what's even better than that is when you're working out for a cause. Sparks Active new Singaporean/Hong Kong brand offers sports bras, tanks and leggings at an affordable price in a broad range of sizes. What's interesting about this new brand, is that it advocates for a balanced life in which we give as well as receive. In this case, Sparks Active donates 5% of its net proceeds to a charity of the customer’s choice. Some of these charities that you can choose from include Clean Yangon (an NGO that plants trees), Changing Stories (a small non-profit that trains local teachers and offers programs in Nepal), and RUN (a charity that provides yoga and hiking for refugees). Now you can sweat in style for a good cause!
While the options for plus-size activewear used to be somewhat limited, there has been a boon of stylish, size-inclusive brands in the last few years. Take, for instance, this local activewear brand that's been in the market for over 20 years. With an extensive range of sizes to choose from — which goes up to 5XL for classic styles — you'll definitely find a set that offers the perfect fit. Some of its key bestsellers include the double-layered shorts which gives you a little more coverage, and tank tops with conveniently built-in sports bras for that extra support.
