As we bask in Singapore’s much-loved eternal summer, we’ve come to know that activewear takes us far beyond a workout. Leggings, biker shorts, and sports bras are not only the stars of activewear, but pieces that can easily be dressed up or down. Add a blazer to your legging-sports bra combo and get ready to hit the streets, or pair your stylish sports bra with a set of cigarette pants, and you are prepared for a night out. With versatility as its redeeming feature, activewear is a closet essential.
However, much too often we find ourselves making fast fashion purchases, each one a further detriment to our planet. Read on for the sustainable activewear brands that are making sure we look and feel good.
Outfyt
“Slow and steady wins the race” is an adage that Outfyt follows whole-heartedly. With slow fashion as its focus, it engineers sustainable activewear that is made to last. Additionally, Outfyt produces its clothing in small batches, so not only is the label minimising waste, but you are getting a more personally produced piece. If you are looking for minimalistic style activewear, Outfyt is the place to get it from.
Yof Athletica
There are three rules that Yof Athletica prides itself in: quality, fairness and sustainability. They produce their products from eco circle fibres or natural fibres, making sure that their manufacturing process is beneficial to the environment. They have also worked to ensure that each piece is able to sustain the flexible movements of yoga—all through mnimalistic pieces with an edge.
Girlfriend Collective
Transparency is key to Girlfriend Collective. Its sustainable and ethical processes are able for anyone to access. Using plastic water bottles to manufacture their products, this brand ensures that there is less waste clogging up our landfills. If you are on the lookout for simple pieces with a pop of colour, then Girlfriend Collective is the place for you.
Rising Lotus
Rising Lotus aims to create long-lasting garments that are one of a kind. Furthermore, this label wants you to bloom into your best self, much like its logo: the lotus. Specialising in interesting prints, Rising Lotus is for the spiritual, sporty and everything in between.
Nimble
Nimble has recycled over 1,116,278 bottles—not only for their clothing, but their packaging is also completely compostable. With an inclusive range of sizes, Nimble offers a diverse mix of interesting designs and versatile basics—perfect for your next ClassPass session.
