Workout clothes have taken over the world lately with many brands emerging as new customer favorites. With a world dominated by brands like Lululemon, Nike, Athleta and Under Armour, many other under-hyped brands like the ones below offer some great options to spice up your workout attire and provide benefits to the environment and the world.

 

  1. Vuori

This brand offers workout clothes with great comfortability and versatility. Not only are their pieces great for high-intensity workouts but also for yoga and daily life. Having been founded in 2013, this brand is fairly new to stores; however, once you try it out, there is no going back. Their prices are slightly less than brands like Lululemon but it is still an investment. Vuori puts a lot of focus into sustainability and bettering our world’s future by making sure they offset 100% of their carbon footprint.

      2. Beyond Yoga

Beyond Yoga is a great brand for yoga, light workouts and daily wear. Not only is this brand known for how soft and comfortable its clothing is, but also what it stands for. Beyond Yoga is a female-founded company that locally sources its materials as well as producing them ethically in Los Angeles, CA. While their prices are on the steeper side, it is well worth the extra dollar.

       3. Alo

Alo is known for its superior and versatile clothing. While it is an investment to add some of these pieces to one’s closet, these clothes last a long time, ensuring that they live up to their price. Not only is Alo great for mastering that namaste, but it is also a brand that supports the environment. They run as a sweatshop-free business and work to find ways to minimize their environmental footprint through solar energy and by reducing the amount of waste they produce.

       4. PrAna

PrAna offers not only clothing that is great for exercise but also for daily life. They have a plethora of different options to choose from to fit whatever activity is in store for the day. While their prices are on the steeper side, their products are very well liked and worth the money. PrAna also stands for a greener, more sustainable earth and goes the extra mile to ensure they create clothing ethically and responsibly by making sure all of their items are packaged and shipped 100% plastic-free and making sure they use all sustainable materials.
