Finding the perfect activewear can feel like a workout in itself, right? With so many options out there, it’s hard to know what truly matters. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Think of this guide as your trusted friend’s advice on choosing pieces that not only look good but also perform like a dream. At Raw Flora, we believe activewear should work as hard as you do, and here’s how to find your perfect match.
Comfort: Yes Please!
When it comes to activewear, comfort is non-negotiable. Whether you’re flowing through yoga poses, getting active outside, or just lounging around, your gear should feel like a second skin. Look for fabrics that are soft, breathable, and kind to your body.
At Raw Flora, our activewear is crafted from sustainably sourced bamboo and organic cotton blends. Why? Because these fabrics are naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and oh-so-soft. Say goodbye to itching or irritation—you deserve to feel amazing, no matter how hard you’re working.
Stayability: No More Adjusting Mid-Workout
We’ve all been there: pulling up leggings or fiddling with a sports bra strap in the middle of a session. The perfect activewear stays put so you can focus on your moves, not your outfit.
Look for:
- High waistbands that don’t roll down.
- Supportive bras that keep everything in place.
- Flat seams to prevent chafing during long runs or intense sessions.
Raw Flora’s designs are crafted and tested to stay exactly where they should, whether you’re hitting the mat or the trail. No distractions—just pure movement.
Stretch: Move Without Limits
Your activewear should move with you, not against you. The right stretch makes all the difference, whether you’re in downward dog or scaling a mountain.
The stretchiest stretch is in:
- Four-way stretch fabrics that give you flexibility and support.
- Materials that bounce back, so your gear doesn’t lose its shape over time. Look for 20%+ elastane composition in sports bras/leggings.
Our pieces are designed with just the right amount of stretch, giving you freedom to move without ever feeling restricted. Plus, our fabrics are durable, so they keep their shape (and support) wash after wash.
Eco Credentials: Feel Good About Your Choices
Here’s the thing: what you wear matters—for you and the planet. Choosing eco-friendly activewear is a way to support sustainable practices and reduce your impact. Look for brands that use responsibly sourced materials, low-impact dyes, and ethical manufacturing processes…hello!
At Raw Flora, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our fabrics are not only kind to your skin but also kind to the planet. By choosing our pieces, you’re joining a movement towards mindful consumption, conscious comfort—and we think that’s pretty awesome.
Bonus Tips
- Do your research: if you’re shopping in store, you can try before you buy and have a good lunge around the changing room. Buying online is a different ball game, make sure you read all the reviews you can and make sure you’re all clued up on the returns policy.
- Invest in quality staples: It’s better to have a few great pieces than a drawer full of items you never wear or that you wear only once before it’s out of style or unwearable. Think classic leggings, versatile tops, and a solid sports bra (or three).
- Care for your gear: Extend the life of your activewear by washing on a gentle cycle and avoiding fabric softeners (they break down fibres & remove sweat wicking properties).
The perfect activewear is about more than just looks. It’s about how it makes you feel—comfortable, confident, and ready to take on whatever’s ahead. And with Raw Flora, you can feel good knowing your choices are better for the planet too.
