Nordstrom's Best Activewear Brand Is on Sale Right Now—Here's What to Buy
When it comes to activewear brands, an absolute favorite among THE/THIRTY editors and readers is Nordstrom's Zella. In fact, the line's Live In leggings are always a top seller without fail. Seriously, what's not to love about the brand?
If you're not familiar with Zella, it's Nordstrom's in-house activewear line that features clothing for women, men, and kids. The high-performance pieces are of great quality, durable and supportive, and most of all, comfortable. And they're great for any type of workout. I can wear my leggings for indoor cycling, yoga classes, hikes, and even when I'm running errands. Plus, not only does it have amazing leggings and sports bras, but the brand also includes jackets, tops, socks, and even shoes.
The good news is from now until January 17, many selected Zella styles are 20% off online and in stores. So it's the perfect time to stock up on some gear, especially if you're getting more workouts in this time of year. Take a look at some must-haves to shop below.
If you're going to start with one piece of activewear from Zella, start with the Live In leggings. They're a total classic with moisture-wicking benefits and a no-slip waistband.
A longline sports bra is great because it provides so much extra coverage. This one has a scooped neck and a racerback.
Everyone needs a trusty workout tank, and this one is it. It's roomy enough to move in, but you won't be bothered by an extra fabric.
Designed for running, these leggings are lightweight and moisture-wicking and feature reflective details.
The bike-short trend isn't going anywhere. This pair has a tactile rib fabric for stretch.
Zella makes running shoes, too. These ones have a stretch-knit upper plus a structured cage overlay.
Sure, these work well during workouts, but you can also wear them for lounging, running errands, or traveling.
You can wear this long-sleeve tee during your sweat session, or as a layer before and after. There are thumbholes on the cuffs, too.
Take advantage of this sale to stock up on socks. You can never have enough of them.
