No matter the year or decade, taking a refined approach to wardrobe shopping will never go out of style—and that includes minimalist workout clothes, too. Whether pliéing at the barre or breaking a sweat on the elliptical, a reliable collection of pared-back activewear sets takes the guesswork out of getting dress dressed. I mean, who wants to worry about putting a look together before heading to a 6 a.m. class? I certainly do not. 

If 2023 taught us anything it’s that the understated—dare I say it—quiet-luxury approach to dressing instantly elevates any outfit, and the same goes for your workout clothes. When you look good, you feel good, which could be just the motivation you need to power through the toughest of workouts.

For workout sets that whisper chic turn to brands like Live The Process and Alala, who have both mastered the art of restraint in a fashion-forward way. Of course, they aren’t the only labels to add to your minimalist workout collection. Ahead, discover more ways to stay effortlessly chic during any workout, from pilates to yoga to tennis, in 2024 and beyond.
