Sweat It Out In These Women-Owned Activewear Styles

Get active in style this International Women's Day.
Women Owned Activewear Brand International Women’s Day
By Jamila Stewart · Updated April 25, 2022

Today may mark the calendar date for International Women’s Day, but we all know every day is a day to revel in the successes of ourselves and women around us – Including patting our backs for the little things we may overlook, such as making a habit out of hitting the gym (even if you find yourself skipping a week or two). We know by now, if there’s one thing that makes a workout that much easier, it’s a stylish workout set to match.

The next time you re-up your activewear drawer (A.K.A. now), consider doing so with a help of a few of the women-owned brands on the market. And these aren’t just for perusing during International Women’s Month – these stylish offerings are not to be slept on, ever.
