New year, new goals — which, let’s be honest, probably includes some kind of fitness or wellness goal. So why not incorporate a new workout wardrobe, too? This season, fitness style is all about form and function: feeling and looking strong in gear that works hard but appears effortless. Whether you’re hitting the gym, flowing through yoga, or sneaking in a quick run, it’s all about confidence and comfort. Rebecca Tay presents five pieces to get moving and sweating in right now.

ARITZIA BUTTER ESSENTIAL JUMPSUIT BY GOLDEN

This scoop-neck workout jumpsuit by Golden may seem like more of a summer piece, but it’s perfect for winter sessions: no midriff to get cold, just smooth, full-body coverage. Made from a buttery soft, wicking fabric that shapes to your body, it’s also great under layers — whether that’s just a T-shirt in the studio or a sweater, vest and parka for outside.

ATHLETA SOLACE BRA

Gone are the days when sports bras were shiny, way too tight, and, quite frankly, hideous. These days, support doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Case in point: this Solace bra, which has a subtle V-neck front and a cute strappy back that will keep everything in place throughout a high-impact workout or low-key stretching session. While this style is intended for A to C cups, the brand also offers plenty of pieces for D to DD cups.

MEC SALOMON THUNDERCROSS TRAIL RUNNING SHOES

You might know Salomon for its performance ski and snowboard gear, but since earlier this year it’s been having a major fashion moment and seen on everyone from Lily Collins to Kylie Jenner. If your New Year’s resolutions include getting back into running, consider that your excuse to invest in your own pair. These Thundercross running shoes have the rugged look the brand is known for, with plenty of cushioning and sturdy lug soles, so you never lose your grip — whether you wear them on muddy outdoor tracks or city sidewalks.

LULULEMON ALIGN HIGH-RISE MINI-FLARE PANT IN GARNET

Since she stepped out back in 2019 wearing a cashmere bra and cardigan by Khaite and set the fashion world alight, Katie Holmes has been lauded for her fashion-forward style. Well, you could say she’s done it again, bringing back flared workout leggings in a way that blends nostalgia with modern appeal. Flattering and versatile, we’re partial to this Mini-Flare burgundy pair by Lululemon, which are not quite as flared as the Vancouver brand’s originals in the early 2000s, but stylish in a way that feels very now.

JOE FRESH WOMEN+ ACTIVE FLEECE LEGGING

One of the easiest ways to stay warm during a freezing cold January workout? Warm winter fabrics. Consider fleece your best friend, especially when it’s soft and warm, but doesn’t sacrifice performance — as is the case with these leggings that are so cosy, you won’t want to take them off post workout.
