The Cutest Workout Clothes That Aren't Lululemon

8 under-the-radar activewear brands you need to know about, pronto

For Getting Your Om On, Hipster Style
The Brand: Phat Buddha

We love that these Jane Shimmer Capri Pants, $69, are unapologetically sparkly, but if you would prefer your workout apparel sans glitter, Phat Buddha also makes yoga shorts, tanks, pants and sports bras in an array of colors and prints (think American Apparel for the Bikram set). The founder, Alissa Benishai, also customizes many Phat Buddha pieces for well-known studios like Barry's Bootcamp and Tracey Anderson.

For the Woman Who Thinks Endorphins Feel Better Outdoors
The Brand: Lucy Activewear

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, this activewear brand features cute, functional styles in three fits: relaxed, body-skimming and body-hugging.

The brand's Pocket Capri Legging, $79, comes in a blue, space-dyed hue made out of stretchy, supportive, sweat-wicking fabric that works just as well for cardio days as it does for child's pose. Bonus: functional pockets that let you tote your phone, cash or keys.

For Yogis Who Crave a Sleek Silhouette
The Brand: Alo

Alo Yoga clothing features ultra-slimming fabrics road-tested by yoga devotees to ensure ultimate comfort. The result: patent-pending leggings that slim, flatten and lift.

If you prefer to do you asanas in something less form-fitting, the Raya Draped Back Top, $52, looks like your basic tank from the front, but the back is an exaggerated racerback that shows off your cute sports bra (which the Los Angeles-based brand also has plenty of).

For Riding Your Citi Bike From Class to Brunch
The Brand: Nesh NYC

Nesh NYC's line of urban-chic yoga wear has you covered from Savasana to brunch. The soft palette of neutral offerings is a nice palate cleanser from the printed, colorful offerings of other brands, helping you get into relaxation mode.

The Weekender Top, $125, is everything we want out of a cover up: the blend of French terry, organic cotton, modal and lycra is super cozy, while the oversized, slinky silhouette is ultra-flattering.

For the Girl Who Wants to Do It All
The Brand: Athleta

We could spend hours sifting through the activewear site's numerous offerings (they cover everything from leggings to accessories). We're suckers for the strappy, medium-support Revolve Stunner Bra, $49; it's sleek, lightweight and keeps everything locked down. The fact that it's made out of recycled materials only increases our post-workout bliss.
