Cute and comfy activewear sets to take you from yoga to brunch.
Has activewear become your default fit for every day of the week? Join the club, babes!
During the pandemic, women’s gym wear soared in popularity thanks to its unbeatable comfort. (We’ll take wonderfully stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric over scratchy office wear any day.) Then we fell in love with its versatility: we can rock it at the gym, run some errands and meet the bestie for brunch – no wardrobe change needed.
Lately, you might’ve noticed that activewear sets are trending. Sure, mismatched get-ups have their place, but there’s something about wriggling into a seamless top-and-bottoms combo that just hits different. Suddenly you’re a boss binch, ready to go about your day doing boss binch things.
Can’t relate? Well, you’re about to. Read on as we shine a spotlight on today’s best-loved Aussie activewear brands and the trendy sets they’ve got on offer.

Flatter your figure with STAX.
Considered the ultimate cool-girl brand, Sydney-based STAX. has reached international fame thanks to its fashion-forward activewear sets and commitment to dressing every person at every size. Its product drops are known to attract queues of hundreds: in 2022, an appearance by influencer Anna Paul at a pop-up store in Perth drew such a crowd that the police were called in!
The colourways at STAX. are elite (did someone say Sage?) You won’t find any prints here – just timeless, solid-hued options to interchange to your heart’s content.
STAX. carries sizes XXS to 4XL, so you’re sure to find a set (or two!) that hugs your bod in all the right ways. We recommend starting your cart with a set of their Core Full Length Tights, whose leg-lengthening, waist-cinching, glute-lifting design will have you looking enviably snatched.
Dive right in with abi and joseph.
Perth-based brand abi and joseph offers a game-changing RUN // SWIM collection that can go straight from the gym to the ocean. In Australia, that’s a big bonus!
The secret lies in a breathable, chlorine-resistant fabric that:
- wicks moisture to keep you cool and dry
- stretches four ways for freedom of movement
- features Powermesh technology for increased support
- resists shrinkage and fading for impressive longevity.
After a bold pop of colour? You’ll love the eye-catching Mykonos High Neck Tankini. Beyond aesthetics, it also offers a high level of coverage for extra protection from the sun – making it a smart choice on all fronts.
Team it with the versatile Run Swim Active Brief and let that beautiful blue hue shine.
Chase the vibe with LSKD.
For uber-functional sportswear with a street aesthetic, look no further than Queensland darling LKSD. The brand’s founder and CEO, Jason Daniel, is passionate about inspiring customers to ‘chase the vibe’ through sports, fitness and adventure.
LKSD’s cool-as-a-cuke designs prove that stylish activewear sets can help motivate you to get out there and smash your movement goals.
For something fun, the Determined Shelf Sports Tank and Energise Full Length Tight in Rise Print are full of character without being too busy. Sleek sophistication more your style? Check out the Ultra LS Top and Bend X-Short Tight in Vital Green.
Pro tip: the LKSD experience isn’t complete until you try out one of their fab home workouts. Enjoy!
Shop consciously with Nimble Activewear.
Bondi’s Nimble Activewear puts the planet and your body front and centre. Its dedication to sustainability influences everything the brand touches, from its custom-engineered MoveLite fabric (made from used plastic bottles!) to its packaging and business practices.
Not only is MoveLite good for the environment, but it’s also silky smooth, cool to the touch and satisfyingly stretchy.
Through its sustainability efforts, Nimble has already saved just shy of two million bottles from landfill. Order the staple Made To Move Legging II to your door, and you’ll be adding six whole bottles to the count!
Can’t decide between a solid colour and a cute print? The Twice As Nice Reversible Bra and Reversible Bike Short offer the best of both worlds. Plus, their four-way stretch and laser-cut hem provide supreme comfort during mid-intensity workouts like yoga and Pilates.
Seeking a no-fuss fit for low-intensity activities? The Extend Onesie Short features a supportive built-in bra, stay-put straight straps and buttery-soft StudioLuxe material that’ll make your skin smile. Throw a tie-front shirt on top for an effortlessly chic look.
