Telfar Performance, The Brand's Debut Activewear Capsule, Just Landed

See all 14 styles.
Telfar Performance, The Brand's Debut Activewear Capsule, Just Landed
By Jamila Stewart · Updated August 17, 2022

Chances are you’re no stranger to the sartorial phenomena that is Telfar’s unisex Shopping Bags. You may have even snagged a pair of boots when the New York brand collaborated with cold weather apparel brand Ugg, or picked up its famously off-kilter tops from any number of the brand’s conceptual, but wearable runway collections. Now, a new launch, dubbed Telfar Performance, suggests you can add Telfar activewear to your list.

Fans have come to expect the unexpected just about every time with Telfar, and in true fashion, Telfar Performance isn’t your average activewear collection. Rather, it’s the activewear collection – a mass scale recreation of the sports-ready pieces that were first engineered ​​exclusively for the Liberian Olympic team at the Tokyo Olympic Games. While Telfar has dabbled into the arena of athleisure before, its latest collection sees the brand implementing performance fabrics for the first time, and the result is the chicest curation of styles any gym has seen. 

Versatility remains a running theme in most every Telfar collection, and aptly, Telfar Performance isn’t without styles you can take beyond active settings as well. In fact, just about the entire collection, made up of leggings, compression tops and one-pieces, each in a stretchy, skin-tight nylon, can double as casual outerwear. Think asymmetric, cropped tops you can pair back to jeans, and shorts you can style with relaxed tees. Ahead, here’s every style from the 14-piece collection, which just hit virtual shelves today.
