How to Elevate Your Activewear for Everyday Style


Posted: December 10, 2025 | Author: Felicity Shalless

Looking for ways to take your favourite workout pieces beyond the gym? You’re not alone. Activewear has become a go-to wardrobe staple thanks to its comfort, versatility and ease but transforming your Pilates outfit into a stylish brunch-ready look can sometimes feel tricky.

That’s where the magic of athleisure comes in. Athleisure blends functional fitness wear with fashion-forward touches, helping you look polished before, during and after your workout. Think of it as workout gear with a chic twist, something Sporty Spice herself would approve of.

With so many fashion and sportswear retailers at Hyperdome, upgrading your activewear style has never been easier. Here’s how to refresh your look with simple styling tricks that make a big impact.

Introduce Colour Into Your Wardrobe

Colour is one of the easiest ways to instantly elevate your activewear. If you typically stick to an all-black wardrobe, a pop of colour can instantly make you feel more styled and put together after your workout.

Check out the bold yet wearable pieces at Lorna Jane, designed to add energy and personality to your look. Prefer something softer? Explore the muted tones at Big W, where you’ll find shades like khaki, dusty rose and soft neutrals – perfect if you want to experiment without going full neon.
Still can’t settle on one shade? Colour-blocked activewear pieces are a great way to mix your favourite hues in one stylish outfit.

Experiment With Texture

You don’t need to abandon your favourite performance fabrics to elevate your activewear, just play with texture. Most workout clothing is crafted from breathable fabrics like nylon and lycra, and many brands now offer textured variations that add visual interest without compromising comfort.

Lorna Jane’s range of ribbed activewear is a great example, it’s designed to wick moisture while giving your outfit a more elevated, fashion-forward feel.
If you’re a runner, consider trying lightweight nylon shorts for those warm summer mornings. Rebel Sport has a wide selection of performance shorts that balance comfort, function and style, ensuring you look and feel fantastic on every run.

Layer Up With Everyday Staples

Another simple way to elevate your activewear is by layering pieces you already love. Adding a lightweight jacket, an oversized tee or a relaxed-fit sweater instantly takes your gym outfit into street-style territory.

Stores like Big W offer affordable wardrobe basics that pair perfectly with your workout gear; think neutral tees, cosy pullovers and stylish zip-up jackets. For a sportier edge, Rebel Sport has performance outerwear that looks just as good grabbing a morning coffee as it does cooling down after a workout.

Choose layers that complement your activewear colours and textures, and you’ll have a look that feels effortlessly put together.

Accessorise for a Fashion-Forward Finish

Accessories can completely transform your activewear. A sleek bag, fresh sneakers or a chic cap can take your outfit from purely functional to fashionably athletic.

Visit Rebel Sport for a huge range of trending caps, visors and performance sneakers that elevate any athleisure look. If you want a more everyday vibe, Big W offers stylish backpacks, tote bags and slide-on sandals, perfect for running errands after your Pilates class.

Keep your accessories simple, coordinated and practical to nail that effortless athleisure feel.

Match Comfort With Confidence

Ultimately, the key to styling activewear is choosing pieces that make you feel confident! During your workout and long after you’ve left the gym. Whether you gravitate towards bold colours, textural fabrics, sporty layers or standout accessories, your outfit should reflect your personal style and fit seamlessly into your day.

Luckily, Hyperdome is filled with retailers ready to help you build the perfect athleisure wardrobe. With amazing options at Lorna Jane, Rebel Sport and Big W, upgrading your look has never been easier.
