The shiny material elevates in-the-gym looks.
Though it may seem like an unlikely pairing, performance fabrics and soft silks strike an ideal balance, celebrating the increasingly blurry line between lounge clothing and ready-to-wear. Silk separates, which were all over the recent runways (see: Staud and Dion Lee), elevate activewear pieces, turning them into streetwear ensembles.
Ahead, four outfit formulas for trying the trend:
Formula 1: workout crop + silk joggers
Alo Yoga Cover Long Sleeve Top
This soft, ribbed top is a good pick for yoga or Pilates when paired with neutral leggings or bike shorts.
& ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo Camouflage-Print Silk-Satin Track Pants
Complete the outfit with these slinky printed joggers. Just add strappy sandals and statement earrings for an evening out, or sneakers and a denim jacket to keep things casual.
Formula 2: silk top + leggings
Le Kasha Khiva Silk-Satin Camisole
This lightweight tank is a wardrobe workhorse thanks to its neutral pink hue. Consider a French tuck for a chic but relaxed look.
& All Access Center Stage Stretch Leggings
Continue the pastel vibe with these workout-friendly pants. The satin waistband ensures your outfit stays cohesive. Throw on boots and a leather jacket in the evening.
Formula 3: muscle tank + silk skirt
Year of Ours Perfect Muscle Tank
This solid low-armhole tank works well with shorts for treadmill sprints and knotted at the waist for drinks.
& Anine Bing Bailey Silk Skirt
Cut on a bias for easier movement, this high-waisted skirt provides a touch of practical glamour. Add a chunky gold cuff for a polished accessory.
Formula 4: silk blazer + active jumpsuit
La Collection Amandine Silk Satin Blazer
This elegant jacket upgrades any look and can go from day to night effortlessly.
& Ernest Leoty Ilona Bodysuit
Lean into a bolder aesthetic with this corset-inspired jumpsuit, which is ideal for barre, yoga, and Pilates. Master the modern monochromatic look by keeping both pieces in the same color family without matching them too perfectly.
