As I approach my late 20s, I’ve accepted the fact that I’m not made to test-drive every trend. Stealth wealth? Absolutely. Gorpcore? Less my speed. But lately, there’s one trend that has me unleashing my inner teenage athlete, and honestly, I’m shocked. The sporty–girl aesthetic is not something I would have ever thought to embrace now that I’ve retired my competitive edge, but these pieces are just so effortlessly cool that they can’t be ignored.
Below, I’ve rounded up 30 fashion, beauty, and wellness products that fit the aesthetic to a T. First of all, you can wear any of the pieces below with items that you already own (think versatile activewear, trending sneakers, etc.), which is a huge win. In the beauty department, I included some products that you can easily take on the go to use after a workout (or while running around the city, if that’s your cardio.) And you can’t embrace the sporty-girl vibe without all the hydration essentials, so I’ve got those for you below, too. Fifteen-year-old me would have thrived with all of these essentials in my gym duffle, but I’m loving them just as much at 26. Keep scrolling to shop my favorite sporty finds.
