What is stretch activewear?
- Stretch activewear is workout clothing crafted from high-performance fabrics that move with you, delivering flexibility, comfort, and support during any activity. At Old Navy, the collection includes leggings, joggers, shorts, tops, and sports bras engineered to keep you comfortable whether you're at the gym, running, or practicing yoga.
What should I look for when choosing stretch activewear?
- Look for four-way stretch for unrestricted movement in every direction, along with good recovery so the fabric snaps back into shape after you move. Moisture-wicking, breathable materials and a spandex or elastane blend for added elasticity are also key features for workout comfort.
What is four-way stretch and why does it matter?
- Four-way stretch means the fabric extends both lengthwise and crosswise, so it adapts to your body no matter which way you move. This gives you a fuller range of motion for activities like lunges, yoga, or running, without the fabric pulling or riding up.
Which stretch activewear pieces are best for different workouts?
- For high-intensity or running, moisture-wicking shorts, tights, and supportive sports bras help keep you dry and cool. For yoga and studio sessions, high-waisted leggings and smooth, flexible tops offer the mobility you need, while fleece joggers and pullovers are ideal for warm-ups and rest days. Explore the full range of women's active workout pants and leggings and women's workout and active tops to build a complete workout wardrobe.
Can I wear stretch activewear outside of the gym?
- The collection works well for both workouts and everyday outings, so you can transition from gym to casual settings with ease. Layer your favorite tops over leggings for a chic athleisure look, or pair them with shorts for a more relaxed vibe.
How do I choose the right level of support in a sports bra?
- Match the support level to your activity: light-support styles work well for yoga, walking, or low-impact training, while high-support options are better for running and higher-intensity workouts. Old Navy carries light-, medium-, and high-support sports bras so you can find the right fit for how you move.
What fabrics are used in stretch activewear?
- Stretch activewear typically features spandex or elastane blends and stretch polyester, which provide the elasticity and recovery that let the fabric move with you. Old Navy's collection uses high-performance fabrics with moisture-wicking technology and breathable materials to help keep you dry and cool during intense workouts.
Does Old Navy offer stretch activewear for the whole family?
- Old Navy carries activewear for other members of the family beyond women's styles, including girls' activewear and maternity activewear designed for a fit pregnancy. This makes it easy to find comfortable, flexible workout gear for different needs.
How do I care for stretch activewear to keep it in shape?
- To protect the elastic fibers, wash in cool or lukewarm water and air-dry when possible, avoiding excessive heat that can break down stretch. Quality four-way stretch fabrics are designed to maintain their elasticity and shape wash after wash when cared for gently.
