The Australian Activewear Brands You Need to Know About!
There is a steamy love affair between fitness and fashion that’s been happening for a while now and we are so here for it! With designers embracing an activewear meets street concept… otherwise known as ‘athleisure’ or ‘sportsluxe’, this trend allows us to go about our day feeling comfortable and ready for action without compromising on style. With athleisure quickly becoming an essential look for our day to day wear, many Australian designers have honed in on this niche to produce activewear that will be sure to make you stand out whether you’re at the gym, walking along our famous coast line, grabbing coffee or doing a class in studio (even from home!)
The athleisure trend isn’t disappearing anytime soon… so if you’re dying to dip your toes into the world of athleisure but aren’t quite sure of where to begin; why not start with our top five Australian activewear brands!
- Jaggad
Built to last a lifetime, Jaggad’s designs are ideal for high impact workouts, brisk walks, running errands and everything in between! With regular limited collections dropping in stores and online, they are always a huge hit! Their use of bold block colours and pattern splicing make their garments stylish but still functional! Our fave classic piece right now is the Panelled Compression Legging. The panelled design allows the leggings to better contour to the body, providing an excellent fit and greater core support- Add in the signature graphic white Jaggad logo and there you have it, practical and stylish all at the same time!

Our favourite designer duo Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning are the brains behind P.E Nation’s functional, fashion forward designs.
