Sweat in style with the latest athleisure trend.
7 Exercise Dresses That Won't Make You Hate Working Out
By Jennifer Ford · Updated June 29, 2024

I work out a lot, which means I sweat a lot. That’s why exercise dresses, the latest athleisure trend, have my full attention. I mean, how could a pantless, moisture-wicking one-piece that I can wear to CrossFit one moment and brunch the next not spark my interest, especially with temperatures soaring? Although nothing new, the star of the tennis-core aesthetic is popping up in styles that are just too cute to ignore, enticing me to invest in one or several exercise dresses this season. Here’s a look at my top picks that will pass any eye or wear test with flying colors.
