Now that athleisure is apropos everywhere, except maybe a funeral, it’s time to really elevate your version of it. Skinny, curvy, long- and short-legged women, there are multiple styles and price points to suit you. The trick? Make sure your sneakers are clean and your undies are seamless, because scuffs and VPL will sink your sweet style right fast.

If You’re Curvy
You don’t want anything that’s too short or too tight, so opt for a pair with a roomy, gathered waistband and legs that are a tad long so you can comfortably fill them out.

If You’re Lean
You’ve got a throw-anything-on-and-look-amaze figure, so really go for it and rock some fresh-looking white sweats. Choose a fun interpretation like a pair with a side panel of mesh or a colorful stripe.
Get the look: Lime & Vine ($110); Freecity ($125); No Ka’oi ($275)
Sundry
If You’ve Got Long Legs
You’re the chassis that inspired horizontal stripes, patterns and loud graphics. Because you’ve got plenty of billboard space to fill.
Get the look: J. Crew ($60); Sundry ($117); P.E. Nation ($140)
Assembly New York
If You’ve Got Wide Hips
Womanly hips look great in palazzo-cut sweats. Plus, it screams “fashion.”
Get the look: Silence + Noise ($69); Assembly ($124); See by Chloé ($290)
If You Don’t Really Have A Waist
Create the illusion of a nipped-in waist with low-slung sweats in a fun print or with brand messaging.
Get the look: Mossimo ($20); Aviator Nation ($144); Monrow ( $153)
Revolve
If You’re Muscular
You’ve worked hard for your gym rat quads and glutes, so show them off in close-fitting joggers that are made more substantial by laces up the sides or at the cuff. It’s an on-trend accent that balances out any bulkiness in your awesome physique.
Get the look: Topshop ($68); Pam & Gela ($127); NSF ($195)
