Best products & tips for stylish home workouts

Now that you’re at home 24*7, do you feel like you’re working out more than ever? Got your mat and that cute sipper? Well, you’re not alone, feeling this change of vibe. Even though you were going to the gym earlier, the current situation is different. Being confined to your home might be making you wanna be on the move just a little bit more each day. Working out is very important right now, not just to shed calories but also to reduce stress and anxiety. Quite believably, global pandemics seem to have a depressing effect on people. Be it HIIT, yoga, or any xyz workout that you enjoy, continue doing it to feel instantly refreshed and calm.

The first few weeks of the global coronavirus lockdown sure passed in the same sweatpants and ponytail look, but probably the same doubled up as your gym gear! Well, it’s time to evolve out of that look and spruce up your lockdown life. Whether you like sweating in hot yoga, or zen-ing out in Vinyasa flow, trendy gym wear can make you feel as though your life is together just a little bit more. A comfortable fitness style is instrumental in the enjoyment and comfort of your sweat sessions. Cherry on the cake, they also double up as the perfect sartorial choice for Netflix marathons, weekly trips to the supermarket and home cleaning sprees. Basically, investing in good activewear is quite worthwhile.

As a rule of thumb, comfort (always) comes first, but while you're putting in all that hard work, it doesn't hurt to feel and look your best too. Soft fabrics, breathable material, a flexible stretch that moves with you, a stylish look – are the attributes of trendy workout clothes for women that will keep you on track your fitness style goals, even while practicing social distancing. With increasingly more activewear brands to stay aware of, there’s an endless supply of sports bras, leggings, and gym essentials to choose from out there. We narrowed down our edit to French luxury brand- Kenzo, which is widely popular for being edgy but lesser-known for its activewear. Squeezing in a good workout can definitely seem like a chore, but with Kenzo collection, figuring out what clothes to wear is a worry of the past. There's a reason this brand is one of the favorites amongst both yoga friends and celebrities alike. From seamless designs to edgy prints and technical leggings, Kenzo offers up chic designs that don't sacrifice comfort. Get ready to sweat in style!

1. Kenzo’s sports bralette tops

Kenzo’s sports bralette tops are some of the most comfortable we've ever had the pleasure of wearing (and selling!). They’re made with high-performance fabric which is really supportive and feels soft on the skin. The under-bust band is thick enough to lay flat on your torso and high enough to help you feel supported – whatever yoga position you find yourself in.

5. track pants

 It’s best practice to spend your money on a pair of track pants that have been designed with movement in mind because they’ll be breathable, moisture-wicking and able to stretch and flow as you do. In order to feel supported and comfortable, you’ll want a high and wide waistband which lies flat on your torso, doesn’t cut in, and, if possible, has a drawstring to offer further support.
