Featuring Michi, Alexander Wang, and Ernest Leoty
Corsets are one of the season’s direct-from-the-runway activewear trends, as seen at shows like Chloé, Mugler, and Vera Wang. A natural fit for those who prefer a tailored and edgy look outside the gym, these waistline-defining pieces add a polished vibe to any workout ensemble.
Here, 8 fitness-friendly picks:
Ernest Leoty Corset Legging
The Parisian brand specializes in activewear inspired by 19th-century corsetry. On these bottoms, strategic contrast seaming creates a streamlined silhouette. Try it with the matching bra or a cropped t-shirt.
No Ka Oi Empathy Bandeau Top
This bustier is made from performance fabric, but an all-black colorway means it’s versatile. Wear it with joggers to dance cardio, or with tuxedo-striped trousers and heels for a night out.
Year Of Ours Corset Bra
A cutout adds a bit of edge to this crop’s ultra-feminine design. The lace-up detailing evokes classic corsetry, and several vibrant color options ensure statement piece status.
Live the Process Corset Leotard
Barely-there spaghetti straps and boy shorts make this bodysuit as comfortable as it is elegant. Pair it with leggings for barre and Pilates, or try a ballet-inspired evening outfit with rigid denim and a wrap sweater.
Nike Fringe Training Tights
An extreme high rise in compression fabric cinches you at the waist, giving these leggings a corset look. Ventilated side panels heighten the effect while keeping you cool.
Michi Instinct Bustier
This sports bra is highly supportive. But unlike a laced-up garment, it’s easy to move and breathe in during long runs or boxing sessions.
Dion Lee Welded Corset Tank
The seams on this sleek camisole provide an elevated feel. Try it on your regen day with sweatpants or don with tights for a weightlifting workout.
Alexander Wang Logo Elastic Jumpsuit
Purposely designed to have an underwear-like look, this jumpsuit is ideal for mobility work and restorative yoga. After your workout, accessorize with a bright puffer and streetwear sneakers.
