Most people buy activewear one piece at a time and end up with six tops that match nothing. A capsule works better.
The 2:3 ratio
Two bottoms and three tops cover nearly every week: one legging for high-impact days, one flared pair for yoga and errands, plus a bra, a long-sleeve crop and a light tee.
Pick one family of colour
Mist blue, sage and cream all sit next to each other. Choosing within one family means every combination works, even at 6am.
Fabric first, print last
Seamless knit in a mid-weight yarn is the only thing that stays opaque through a squat. Check the gusset and the waistband stitching before anything else.
Wash cold, dry flat
Heat is what kills stretch. Cold wash, no dryer, and you will get two years out of a set that would otherwise last eight months.
