Take Note: These Are the Workout Pieces Our Editors Are Living In
If you had a chance to step inside the closets of Who What Wear editors, you’d be sure to find their drawers lined with pieces from athleisure label JoyLab—a brand we proudly co-design with Target. The items not only adhere to the coolest new trends in the world of workout gear but also fall under an unbeatable $50 price point. Curious to find out which new JoyLab items my fellow editors have been wearing to the gym or to their weekend brunch stops, I did what any reasonable person would do. I asked them!
Ahead, they’re highlighting the cute workout clothing they’re living in and exactly what they love about each of the pieces. Whether you’re in the market for a cool legging set, the perfect sports bra, or a winter-ready jacket, these stylish picks will point you in the right direction for your next active outing (or, okay, relaxing day in). Go on to shop the latest athleisure staples from our editors, and shop the full collection at Target.
"Working out in the winter necessitates a cozy top layer, especially for getting to and from a workout. I love how simple this one is, and the side slit gives it an extra dash of style that my college sweatshirt doesn't have."
"The reviews on these leggings were so solid I had to try them for myself. Even a yoga teacher weighed in: 'I'm a yoga teacher, and these are among my favorite yoga pants, including plenty of more expensive Prana and Lululemon pairs.'"
"I can't get enough of half-zips right now, and I'm definitely adding this mixed material option to my collection."
"You can't go wrong with this longline fit, and the stone gray is a cool alternative to an all-black option."
"I would wear this as one of my layers to the gym, but also tucked into high-waisted jeans at night."
"I always forget to buy layering pieces to wear to and from workouts. This one would fix that."
"This is the perfect thing to wear with all of my high-waisted leggings."
"I'm very into metallic coats and tops right now, so a shiny sports bra is a natural next purchase for me."
"I love that the mesh detail upgrades a basic black sports bra—it would look great peeking out from a breezy tank top."
"No doubt I'll be living in this crazy-soft, effortless tee—perfect paired with leggings for the gym and high-waisted jeans for an easy weekend look. The side-tie detail gives it a cool-girl edge."
"The perfect sherpa jacket to keep me cozy and chic pre- and post-workout on these chilly winter days."
"I own this top in multiple colors and just added this pretty light blue into my workout wardrobe."
"I've already talked about how much I love this jacket but wanted to reemphasize how much of a winter essential it is. Not only is it functional for a cold trip to the gym, but it has also become one of my travel staples."
