The pandemic has completely changed the way of living. Loungewear and activewear have become an integral part of our lives; both for working out and as part of the #WFH attire. When our favorite fitness studios had to close during the lockdown, many of us turned to on demand workouts and outdoor jogging practices. Therefore, it’s about time to dive deeper into sustainable activewear labels.

Sustainable activewear brands

These sustainable activewear brands are committed to a more sustainable production while providing consumers with high-performance activewear. Fairtrade and ethical labor practices, natural and recycled fabrics, and local, limited, and conscious production are the main factors considered.

With manufacturing a limited number of pieces, Oyster Active donates 1% of every purchase to HealthySeas. The packaging is made from plants and is 100% compostable and all products are made in Europe.
