5 athleisure brands to upgrade your workout 'fits
Comfort comes first when it comes to activewear, but who says you can’t break a sweat and still serve a look?
When it comes to working out, there’s no strict rulebook on what you can or cannot wear. But as physician Dr. Ian Banzon puts it: “If you're not comfortable moving in it, then it's a bad fit.”
Whether you’re upgrading your workout fits or just shopping for casual pieces to run errands in, here are five local and international athleisure brands available in Metro Manila.
1. Every.day Club
Every.day Club is a local lifestyle and activewear brand that launched a capsule collection in August, featuring seven essential pieces that reflect the vibe of the Every.day Pilates space, a cult-followed studio in Quezon City.
The Afterburn capsule collection comprises a relaxed-fit graphic tee (P1,199), sweatshirt (P1,499), muscle tee (P999), and a cap (P499).
Every.day Club is exclusively available at 2/F, 150 Kamias Rd, Diliman, Quezon City.
