Celebrate Pride in the full spectrum of color.
A symbol of LGBT2Q+ pride, rainbow stripes evoke an air of whimsy and joy. ROYGBIV pieces are often available in the market, but this summer, they’re particularly prevalent in both activewear and athleisure. You can find rainbow gear in the The Shop at Equinox locations [including an exclusive collaboration with Adam Selman Sport] now. “The trend is an easy, playful way to incorporate color and fun into your workout wear,” says Annie Walters, Equinox’s New York City–based vice president of retail. “With global Pride celebrations this month, it’s the perfect opportunity to sport the full spectrum in and outside of the gym,” Walters adds.
Ahead, 8 picks.
Xander Zhou White Rainbow T-Shirt
An oversized white T-shirt is a staple, and this one will work with wicking shorts of any color during a HIIT session. Alternatively, wear it with swim trunks for a recovery day by the pool.
Beach Riot Leah Top Neon Stripe
This crop showcases a neon version of the rainbow. It sits snugly around the rib cage, highlighting upper abs. Try it with the matching leggings for a strength session or dance cardio, then slip into high waisted jeans and platform sandals for a casual (but put-together) look.
Adidas Pride Trefoil Tape Shorts
Part of Adidas’ yearly Pride Pack, these bottoms’ satiny fabric makes them more elevated than your standard soccer shorts. Don them on the field or with a low-armhole tank to show off muscular arms.
Tretorn Sky Slides
The pool slide trend is holding strong this season, so wear these to add a punch of pride to any swimsuit. In the gym, use them to get to and from barefoot classes like yoga and Pilates.
Palm Angels Rainbow Taped Track Pant
Much like other must-have items this season, these track pants have a decidedly retro feel. Pair them with a graphic T-shirt for an off-duty ensemble or over gym shorts post-class.
Loewe Zip Rainbow Hoodie
Slip into this supremely soft hoodie after an evening run or during a breezy boat ride. A rope cord drawstring gives it a slightly nautical feel, while the black fabric ups the versatility factor.
The Upside Rainbow Speechless Short
These running-friendly shorts also make ideal festival wear, particularly with a coordinating crop top or sports bra. Part of the proceeds are donated to Twenty10, Australia’s longest-standing LGBT2Q+ youth organization.
Spiritual Gangster Rainbow Crop Track Tight
Fabricated from lightweight, quick-drying brushed material and accessorized with a comfortable waistband, these cropped leggings are great for outdoor sports—especially since their white background won’t absorb heat.
Valentino Rainbow Open Sneaker
These sneakers would go well with both a daytime tee-and-jeans look and a sleek summer suit. They boast an additional accent: the word “peace” emblazoned on the side.
