Add to Cart: Activewear Staples That Transition From Workout to Everyday
Words by Pauline De Leon · Updated on 04 Feb 2026 · Published on 18 Nov 2025
My wardrobe has evolved dramatically over the years, but one thing remains constant: my love for activewear. I try to keep up with trends – flared leggings have recently made their way into my rotation – but I can never part with the classics, like a soft neutral sweatshirt that goes with everything.
These days, my routine moves between office hours, working from home, coffee (or wine) catch-ups and Pilates classes. And with that mix, I naturally gravitate towards activewear that’s equal parts comfortable, functional and versatile.
The Iconic is an easy place for finding that balance between comfort and style. The range fits seamlessly into my schedule – and with quick delivery and extended returns, shopping feels calm and considered, even during the busy season. Here are some of my activewear selections that easily slot into my everyday wardrobe.
Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Over-Oversized Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
This oversized sweatshirt layers easily over a tank or sports bra. The cotton-rich fleece is soft on the inside and smooth on the outside, offering just the right amount of warmth. Design details like dropped shoulders and elongated ribbing give it structure while keeping the look clean and understated.
Nike Indy Light Support Padded Adjustable Sports Bra
For low-impact activities, this sports bra provides light support without being restrictive. The dry-fit fabric stretches comfortably and dries quickly, which is useful in hot yoga classes or for the summer days ahead. Adjustable straps and removable padding make it easy to get the right fit, while the under-bust band adds security without digging in. I often wear it under loose tops for errands or casual weekend activities
Lorna Jane Liberty Flared Leggings
I practically live in these flared leggings. The high-rise waistband and soft, stretch fabric move effortlessly with the body, while the discreet back pocket adds an extra touch of practicality. Made from moisture-wicking material, the fabric stays comfortable even through hotter environments. The gentle flare gives a nod to current silhouettes without feeling trend-driven. It’s a piece that translates effortlessly from studio to street, especially styled with an oversized shirt or structured jacket.
Leelo Active Sculpt Pocket Bike Shorts
Finding shorts that flatter my frame comes down to length, and these fit perfectly. Helping me channel Princess Diana’s late ’80s look, these bike shorts come in a high-rise design with a fitted cut that allows free movement. The performance nylon fabric stretches without losing shape, and the elastic waistband keeps everything in place. I use the hidden pockets for small essentials, too. Just like Diana herself, an oversized sweatshirt with white socks and runners are what you’ll see me in on a sunny weekend arvo.
Asics Gel-1130
I’ll always choose sneakers over anything else, and these have been my go-to for the past few months. The late-2000s-inspired runner strikes the right note between form and function – sleek enough for everyday wear, supportive enough for movement. Synthetic leather overlays and mesh underlays create a structured yet breathable fit, while gel cushioning through the heel softens each step. The “trusstic” support system adds stability for long days on my feet, whether I’m in the studio or chasing my 10,000 steps.
