Sustainable Activewear Brands To Know

While traditionally fitness wear has been made from non-biodegradable fabrics like nylon and polyester, in recent years we’ve seen an influx in sustainable activewear brands. From plastic bottles to bamboo fibres, brands are looking for new materials to produce workout gear that’s not only performance-driven and stylish, but kind to the planet. Here’s our pick of the best eco-friendly athleisure producers.

Sustainable Activewear Brands

• Ernest Leoty

  Parisian brand Ernest Leoty encourages shoppers to tap into the slow fashion movement by designing its products to last. The brand also uses fabrics that offer a reduced impact on environmental resources needed to make them, including lower water and energy usage, as well as recycled fabrics. And, being French, of course the collections are ultra-chic. Ernest Leoty was a renowned corset maker in the 19th century known for putting the needs of women first. This female-first ethos sits at the heart of the brand, with a focus on classic French tailoring, clean lines and sophisticated silhouettes. ernestleoty.com

• SOS Activewear

  Bronte Simm is the brainchild behind SOS Activewear, a London-based brand dedicated to sustainability in every possible aspect. All pieces are created in London, meaning they can keep an eye on the working standards of the factory and ensure all workers are happy, fairly treated and fairly paid. Fabrics used are planet-friendly, including regenerated nylon created from ocean plastic rescued from the sea, sustainably sourced bamboo and recycled organic cottons. The collection is small but lovely, and includes sports bras, leggings, t-shirts, sweaters and gym bags – all of premium quality and super stylish. sosactivewear.com

• TALA

  TALA was an instant success when it launched in 2019 – the debut collection sold out in just 20 minutes. The brainchild of fitness influencer and entrepreneur Grace Beverley, TALA’s ultimate aim is for products to be made from 100 per cent upcycled materials. Just a year after launching, they’re 92 per cent of the way there. Pieces are created from recycled plastic bottles and factory offcuts, and all packaging and product labels are recycled and can be planted or composted. They sell everything from leggings to sports bras to headbands, with colours ranging from chic greys to bold neons. wearetala.com

• Perff Studio

  Whilst Perff focuses on creating high end and confidence-enhancing luxe activewear, sustainability is never compromised. The brand – whose garments are consciously crafted in the north of Portugal – is entirely transparent about its continuing eco-efforts, stating that ‘It is an evolving goal and definition, and we don’t have all the answers. But we want to focus on efforts that have the biggest impact.’ Meanwhile, the label takes a eco-conscious approach, using a short-as-possible supply chain and producing high quality pieces ‘designed to last’, whilst 50 percent are designed with recycled materials. perff.com

• BAM

  Sustainability is at the core of BAM, which is centred around clothes made from bamboo. Founder David Gordon recently announced the company’s goal to become impact positive by 2030 – across all areas of impact, not just the carbon footprint. A naturally eco-friendly material, bamboo absorbs five times more carbon than hardwood trees, and needs half the land cotton needs to produce the same amount of fibre – without needing irrigation or pesticides. It also happens to work well as a performance fabric. The gym wear range includes everything from shorts to socks to our favourite: the super-soft leggings, which come in many different bright, bold patterns and colours – perfect for yoga. bambooclothing.co.uk

• CONTUR

  This chic brand is produced in London, meaning founder Claire Turpin can regularly visit the manufacturers to check on production and quality. The product range – which includes sports crops, vests and leggings – uses super-soft textiles fashioned in Italy from ECONYL (repurposed nylons), ocean plastics and recycled cotton, meaning everything is sustainably produced. This doesn’t compromise performance though: fabrics are put through strict quality tests to ensure items provide the correct support, breathability, compression and shape retention. It’s all ultra-stylish too, with bright colours and flattering fits. conturuk.com

• Nimble

  Pioneering activewear brand Nimble originates from Australia’s sunny Bondi Beach, but last year they launched in the UK – you’ll find it in either Selfridges or Browns. All Nimble items are made from recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, melted into pellets, spun into yarn and knitted with spandex – so far they’ve saved 800,000 bottles from going into landfill. Items come in compostable poly bags, while swing tags are made from recycled PET and organic cotton. The range includes everything from tank tops to outerwear to bags, but our top pick are the leggings: lightweight yet hard wearing, with a flattering waistband. uk.nimbleactivewear.com

• Vivobarefoot

  Tread lightly on the planet with a pair of Vivobarefoot shoes, designed to mimic the natural shape of your foot – allowing the feet to move more naturally. Not only is there zero bio-mechanical interference, there’s zero impact on the environment. This year, the brand is working towards its goal of using 100 per cent recycled, natural or biosynthetic materials in its products, such as recycled PET bottles and BLOOM, the latest in algae-based alternative materials. Choose between a range of different types of workout shoe, including running trainers, gym trainers and tennis shoes. vivobarefoot.com

• Boody Active

  Emma Watson is among the ever-growing fan base of sustainable Sydney-born brand Boody. Inspired by simplicity, designed for sustainability, this brand is distinctive for its certified organic bamboo-based fabrics. ‘Bamboo is naturally silky soft but also thermo-regulating, meaning you stay cool in summer and warm in winter,’ explains founder Shaun Greenblo. These fibres are particularly helpful for exercise, as they contain mico-gaps, which provide ventilation and moisture absorption to keep you cool and dry during your workout. boody.co.uk

• Giesswein

  Paving the way for sustainable footwear brands is Giesswein, which makes trainers from merino wool, a temperature-regulating fabric with sweat-proof qualities. The brand prides itself on its zero-waste production process: products are made using recycled water and renewable resources, paying particular attention to resource-saving production methods. uk.geisswein.com
