THE JANUARY RESET 2027 · Our series on starting the year well, one shelf, drawer and gym bag at a time.
The best activewear is the set you reach for without thinking, for Pilates, the school run and the flight. This list covers twenty brands across every budget. The big sports names are here (Nike, adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Asics), with the gym favourites (Gymshark, Alphalete, Tala), the London Pilates crowd (Sweaty Betty, Adanola), the Los Angeles labels behind the matching sets on your feed (Alo, Vuori, Beyond Yoga, Set Active, Year of Ours), and the easy-going names (lululemon, On, Girlfriend Collective, Outdoor Voices, FP Movement). No more than four picks come from any one brand.
The Shopping List is an independent editorial selection, for reference only. Ayerhs Magazine does not sell these products and does not earn a commission from any link on this page. Every link goes to the brand’s official website. Prices are the full prices in US dollars as listed on the brands’ US sites on 14 November 2026, except Tala, which is priced in pounds on its UK store. Several items were on sale that day, so you may find them for less. “From” means the lowest-priced colour or size. Prices vary by country and can change. Product images belong to the respective brands.
