The Athletic Dresses, Skorts, and Sneakers We're Wearing This Summer

This Athleta skort exudes preppy vibes with its contrast stripes and embroidered logo in cursive on the waistband’s back. It has a slightly thicker fabric, so you’ll stay warm playing tennis or pickleball in a cooler climate or brisk nights. Along with its fashionable details, it features two side pockets and sewn-in gripper tape to keep the shorts in place. ($75, Athleta) 

Serve looks on and off the court with this tennis skort from Aritzia. The adorable pleated skirt is lightweight, with a breezy drape that flows with every step. It’ll be a staple you’ll gravitate toward even when you’re not working out. The sculpted undershorts are another bonus, as they’re cool to the touch and stay in place. ($78, Aritzia) 

For a different spin on the classic tennis skirt, opt for Halara's sleek pull-on skort. The fashionable crossover band accentuates your waist and offers medium support with its high-waisted fit. The airy skort is available in over 20 pastel and vibrant shades, as well as patterns like stripes and florals. ($24.95, Halara)

On Cloud fans, we have some great news: The brand released a new version of its popular Cloud sneakers. The lightweight shoe has an upgraded shape and structure, with an easier opening for wider feet and a new sockliner. The improved heel and Zero-Gravity foam midsoles also provide additional support. Whether you're heading out for a run or hitting the gym, the shoe will provide an even more advanced comfort and cushioning. ($150, On) 

We’ve been seeing a lot of Puma Speedcats among the fashion crowd. The slim sneaker is versatile for both casual wear and light workouts. Thanks to its soft suede and leather exterior and color-contrasting accent, it’s a sleeker alternative to other street-style sneakers. ($100, Anthropologie)

HOKA's Bondi 9 is a game changer for those who are consistently on their feet. The plush shoe has a platform sole and a premium foam midsole for extra cushion, so you won’t get tired. Even better, the breathable mesh knit top is flexible and allows air to circulate, which is the best for warmer weather. Get your steps in for the day with a colorful pair, or choose one of the solid neutral hues. ($170, Hoka) 

These shoes are designed to help you comfortably run on any uneven pathway, thanks to their supportive, extra-thick heel and rubber outsole. Strategically-placed rubber helps withstand abrasion and wear, making them a great option for those who prefer to run on roads or gravel trails. ($50.99, Puma) 

We can always count on Girlfriend Collective for elevated-meets-functional workout clothes. This lightweight athletic dress features practical touches like a built-in romper with two side pockets, plus a mini pocket to hold small items like your AirPod case. The cross-neck is pure fashion. We'd wear this right to brunch. ($89, Girlfriend Collective) 

If you spend any amount of time on Instagram, you’ve likely spotted influencers wearing activewear from Alo. We can confirm their clothes really are that good — and last for years. This dress is just as perfect for a tennis match as it is for errands. It has a built-in bra and shorts, plus adjustable straps. It’s available in classic black and white. ($118, Alo)

This dress is truly unlike any other athletic dress we’ve seen. From the side cutouts to the strappy back, we’re obsessed. The contrast binding is giving us Meredith Blake vibes. There’s also a convenient phone pocket in the built-in shorts. ($128, FP Movement)

Historians may disagree, but we believe the Outdoor Voices Exercise Dress was one of the first on the market. It’s still a mainstay for a reason; the silhouette hugs you in all the right places but isn’t too tight or constricting. We love that it’s a bit longer than other dresses, and has grippy edges on the built-in shorts so they won’t ride up. ($100, Outdoor Voices)

Align leggings lovers, we have a new athletic dress for you. This one is made of the same soft, buttery fabric and conforms to your body. The built-in bra offers light support, so you can wear another underneath if you need extra support for exercising. Check back if your size is unavailable, since they often restock and go quickly. By the way, the Align bike shorts are another favorite. ($148, Lululemon)

If you skew toward a minimalist-chic aesthetic, you’ll like this athletic dress. It’s a simple black and white number that features zero logos. It’s begging to be paired with your favorite everyday jewelry and a vintage handbag. ($168, Revolve)

There’s a lot to love about this Amazon dress — including the low price point. It has a built-in onesie underneath and adjustable crisscross straps in the back. Plus, it’s made with moisture-wicking fabric and comes in sizes XS–XXL and 15 colors. Absolute serve. ($29.99+, Amazon)
