My motivation for the gym ebbs and flows—and honestly, a majority of that drive comes down to one thing: how cute my outfit is. Nothing gets me out of bed for an 8 a.m. Pilates class quite like the promise of a cute matching set or a seriously chic pair of leggings that will look just as cool at my post-workout matcha date (thank you, athleisure trend !).

But, of course , style isn’t the only factor when shopping for this category. We still need our leggings and sports bras to do their job—i.e., deliver support, comfort, and performance while helping us look and feel good, whether we’re actually working out or not. Since it’s hard to know which brands actually check those boxes, we’ve done the legwork for you and rounded up the ones that are worth your money.

Without further ado...these are the best athleisure brands money can buy (and our favorite pieces right now to help get your online cart started!).
