Color blocking
Color blocking adds life to the basic grays and blacks that have dominated athletic wear. Bright stripes, bold patchwork, and color chunks add vibrancy to your wardrobe and your workout. Jump into this trend with a bold color-blocked top or test the waters with neutral pants with colored-blocked calves.

Mesh panels
Mesh panel pants were a huge trend in 2018 and now our favorite mesh panels are coming to tops and sports bras. A perfect example of fashion and function, mesh panels provide breathability and sexiness. Chic cutouts draw attention wherever they are, giving us style and proper ventilation.

Brightly colored shoes
They say history repeats itself, and fashion has proven that over and over. The bright colors of the eighties are making their way around, this time on your feet. Sherbert-colored sneakers in shades of orange, green, and yellow are taking over shoe racks. And with so much black gym apparel, (hey, it’s slimming!), it’s nice to add a pop of color.
Branded Bands
Branded bands on sports bras, pant waistbands, and pant sides showcase your athletic side and your favorite brand.
