Y’all aren’t ready for the real gym flex coming in 2026. No, not the flex of your biceps—the flex of your outfit. Because let’s be real, who doesn’t want to look like a total boss while doing burpees? The new year is your sign to reset your fitness goals, but here’s the secret: your activewear is the actual motivator. I mean, how do you even start a workout without a fresh set of leggings that make you feel like a total flex? Spoiler: you don’t. So here’s the tea on the trends that’ll make your gym sessions and your Instagram feed scream “I’m a beast.”
First up: primary colors are everything. Red, blue, and green are taking over activewear like it’s a TikTok trend (because it is). Kristina Falke, FALKE’s PR guru, says bold shades are the must-have for 2026. Think neon red leggings that make you feel like a superhero (or at least a very confident person). And if you’re not into neon, green is your new BFF. Lacoste’s retro green tracks are already everywhere, and honestly, they make your entire outfit pop. Pro tip: Pair them with dad trainers for that vintage flex that’s also totally on trend.
Next, layered Y2K tops are the it piece. Yasmina Cherquaoui, a yoga instructor who’s seen every sweat session, says layering is key—even in warmer weather. Picture a baby tee under a cropped vest, or a wrap top over a bra. It’s not just for looks; it’s for function. You can peel off layers as you sweat, and the contrasting colors? Chef’s kiss. And if you’re into the double strap trend? Pair it with high-waisted leggings for that second skin feel.
Lastly, co-ords are back—and they’re so versatile. Who needs separate leggings and shorts when you can rock a matching set? These short sets are basically your summer uniform, and they’ll take you from the gym to brunch without a second thought. Plus, they’re sustainable, which means you’re literally killing two birds with one stone.
💫 KEY POINTS: Primary colors are the must-have for 2026, layered Y2K tops are everything, co-ords are your new go-to for versatility, and sustainability is key—because who wants to buy a new outfit every time you break a sweat.
