Knowing all too well how fresh kit can perform motivational miracles, we’ve compiled the coolest athleisure brands and where to shop them to put the ‘run’ in ‘running errands’.

The P.E Nation philosophy is centred around quality design and construction while offering stylish, comfortable and functional pieces that take you to from the studio to the street. The brand reflects a sense of unity, and celebrates an active way of life.

P.E Nation

Contrary to what one would assume, the initials P.E stand for the  brand’s co-founder, Pip Edwards. Spotted from a mile away with the distinct logo, the coveted pieces from the collection have been widely endorsed by sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner as well as the brains and beauty behind the BBG, Kayla Itsines. And if their approach to fitness isn’t goals, we don’t what is!

Unit Nine

Unit Nine is an Australian brand that is shaking up the everyday sports accessories market by creating high quality, fun and unique sports gear. They believe an active lifestyle can improve your state of mind, so instead of gulping down your morning soy, double shot, low-fat, extra frothy organic latte to cope with life, you can sip it slowly, smile and nonchalantly wave at that person who just cut you off in traffic. Their boxing and yoga kit will induce all kinds of envy in your fitness circles.
