THE SOOTHE

With the growing need for sustainable practices and systems, the fashion industry also has a huge responsibility to help reverse climate change and support our planet. Though the fight for change is far from over, the past few years have seen multiple new labels centering themselves around creating a cleaner, greener industry. Others have rebranded themselves, transforming production processes and going the extra mile to make sustainability sexy. Amidst all of this, activewear brands are refusing to be left behind. Here are 8 athleisure labels that are striving to impact their corner of the industry by producing ethical and sustainable products. (read more)

With versatility as its redeeming feature, activewear is a closet essential. (read more)

HER WORLD

Whether you’re doing

We think this applies in a fitness setting too: The more well dressed you are, the more pumped up and confident you’ll be. And that is one big step to nailing a tough workout. (read more)
