Work(out) hard, play hard. When you workout, you want to invest in gear that supports you. Sometimes, that old college t-shirt made out of cotton will leave you damp and sweaty. That’s not what you want after a workout, especially because after your body cools down, you’ll be left freezing cold in a wet shirt. Whether you’re a yoga gal or thrive off of intense HIIT workouts, you need activewear that can keep you comfy during those pigeon poses or burpees. Good workout gear should feel like a second skin. You should barely notice it and feel great wearing it. That’s why we rounded up the best active and performance wear for you.
We picked durable, sturdy pieces of clothing that can keep up with you. You don’t want to worry about your pants falling down during a downward-facing-dog or while you’re jogging. This activewear fits like a glove but also is designed to dry quickly, so you can go from the gym to brunch without having to change. We rounded up the best leggings, the best dri-fit shirt and the best dri-fit yoga pants. One of our selections even has special technology to make sure you and your shirt don’t smell when you order a round of Mimosas.

1. Amazon Essentials Women’s Performance Mid-Rise Capri Active Legging
When you’re going into the Warrior Two pose or sprinting at the end of your runner, you’ll want leggings that will move with you. Inflexible leggings or ones that slip down your legs will annoy and distract you from your workout. These leggings have four-way stretch and a wide waistband. The fabric itself is moisture-wicking, so you’ll be cool and sweat-free while you go hard.
