Are you wondering what the best activewear trends and colors are in Autumn/Winter 2022/2023? We decided to do in-depth trend research to design and launch our activewear collection for this season and consulted WGSN for the color trends first. The colors in trend for A/W 22/23 will be honeycomb, jade, dark oak, lazuli blue, orchid flower. What a lovely array of colors, depicting a bright spirit from the honeycomb and orchid flower to the dark, and I-mean-business colors like lazuli blue and dark oak. These colors are perfect for activewear and that’s just what our customers will be getting in our collection this season.

Best Styles of 2022
Over the years, gym clothing has evolved and is not just functional for the gym but also for lounging around, going out, and day-to-day wear; however, one may style or prefer them. Activewear evolved into athleisure focusing on comfort and now it is evolving into ‘Athluxe’; combining athletic wear with a hint of luxury. What a fun concept! Athluxe is an interplay of contrasting textures, for example, a mixture of satin and mesh and also draping and pleating combined. Soft neutral tones are preferred in Athluxe with a metallic sheen or lustrous finish. This makes a perfect gym-to-street-style outfit. Go to the gym and then wear it up or down for a night out or even to work which evolves further into ‘Athflow’ which is a mixture of elegance, athleisure, and flow. Style activewear however you may prefer!
Styles & Silhouettes of 2022
Biker Shorts
Don’t we all love the Lady Di signature casual look with the sweatshirt and bicycle shorts? Well, Bike Shorts have been making quite the boom lately and are here to stay.
Cross Over waist
Get that hourglass cinched in the waist by going for a crossover V-waist in tights, leggings, and trousers to give an illusion of a narrower waist.
Cat Suit
According to TZR, when people are now returning to their pre-pandemic life and workout routines, they feel the urge to be more fashion-forward, therefore, activewear also needs to be trend-driven. This is because people are having fun with activewear by styling it in new ways. A perfect example of this is the workout catsuit or jumpsuit which boosts confidence.
Ribbed Fabric
It is all about comfort and style, and ribbed fabrics are one of the comfiest materials in activewear and athleisure without biting into your skin and cutting off that circulation! The fabric is functional but also visually appealing and has a great texture style.
Varsity Look
Think long white socks with tights.
Lingerie Inspired Tops
A hint of lingerie-inspired fabrics like laces and silk in sportswear. How fun!
Flared Pants
Who doesn’t love a relaxed bootcut style? Perfect for a relaxing yoga day or even traveling!
Y2K Cuts & Silhouettes
This trend is everywhere with asymmetrical sports bras with cutouts at the neckline and flared split-hem leggings.
Active Dress
Tennis-style dresses and skorts (skirts with shorts attached underneath) are all the rage!
Bold Matching Set
Matching sets are all the rage nowadays and will continue to be so in the upcoming season. Think bold matching set in bright colors and color blocking. There is always fun in mixing and matching!
Longline Bra
Sports bras are one of the must-haves and staples of a workout outfit. An evolution of a sports bra is the long line bra; a mixture of part crop top and part sports bra, offering customers a little bit more coverage while also showing off their abs!
