See this content in the original post

Activewear is constantly evolving, blending fashion with functionality, and has seen massive growth over the past several years, driven by a shift towards health and wellness. According to the IMARC Group, they expect the activewear “market to reach US$ 627.3 Billion by 2032.”

In 2025 activewear designs will be more innovative and fashion forward so you can go from the gym to work, or a night out. Whether you're fitness enthusiast, a casual gym-goer, or someone who loves wearing activewear as everyday attire, staying updated on the latest trends will show off your style as well as being in comfortable clothes all day. Expect to see even more innovation and creativity from sustainable materials to tech-infused designs.

Eco-friendly Materials

One of the most significant trends in activewear for 2025 is the shift towards sustainable fabrics. Brands are increasingly focusing on environmentally friendly materials that reduce the carbon footprint of their products. Recycled polyester, organic cotton, and bamboo fabrics are becoming popular. These materials not only offer high performance and comfort, but also cater to the growing demand for eco-conscious fashion. Sustainable fabrics are designed to be durable and long-lasting, ensuring that your activewear withstands intense workouts while remaining soft and breathable.

Tech-Infused Activewear

In recent years, the activewear market has evolved from sportswear to mainstream fashion. Smart textiles are embedded with sensors and conductive fibers designed to monitor your workout. These high-tech fabrics can track your heart rate, measure body temperature, and even provide real-time feedback on your posture and form. Activewear is also being designed to allow headphones to be embedded in hoodies.

Customizable Activewear

Personalization is a growing trend across the fashion industry, and activewear is no exception. In 2025, customizable activewear will become even more popular because it will allow wearers to tailor workout gear to suit their preferences. From adjustable waistbands and removable padding, to interchangeable straps and pockets, the possibilities are endless. Customizable activewear not only enhances comfort but also ensures a perfect fit, reducing the risk of chafing and discomfort during exercise. This trend also extends to performance customization, where you can choose specific fabric blends and construction techniques to match your workout intensity. Whether you're a yoga enthusiast, a runner, or a weightlifter, customizable activewear can provide the support and flexibility you need to excel in your chosen activity.

Bold Prints and Colors

Activewear designs will be all about bold prints and vibrant colors, and designers are using unique dyeing processes to create visually stunning pieces. Neon hues, metallic accents, and iridescent finishes are set to dominate the activewear scene, adding a style to your gym wardrobe.

Versatile Athleisure

Athleisure, the trend of wearing athletic clothing for casual, everyday activities continues to be trendy. Why athleisure is growing in popularity is the “increasing awareness of the importance of physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle.” Versatile athleisure pieces will blur the lines between gym wear and streetwear, offering multifunctional attire that transitions seamlessly from workouts to social gatherings. Versatile athleisure pieces often have subtle details like hidden pockets, adjustable drawstrings, and convertible elements, making them ideal for a variety of settings.

Inclusive Sizing

Inclusive sizing ensures that all individuals have access to stylish and functional activewear designs. It’s important to recognize different body types because everyone's body is unique, and activewear should reflect this diversity. Here’s a guide on mastering clothing measurements.

Designing activewear for 2025 requires a forward-thinking approach that prioritizes sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation. Make sure to put together an apparel design and development checklist because it’s important to be diligent from the early stages to avoid wasting valuable resources and money. 

One of the most valuable assets in pre-production (PP) is your apparel tech pack⎯it’s the blueprint for your product, containing all the technical documentation for your clothing. From flat sketches, material specifications, to written instructions, it should include all the nuts and bolts (figuratively speaking) that your factory needs in order to create your product accurately. Creating a tech pack from scratch is very labor intensive which is why we’ve created industry approved tech pack templates so you can use the blank templates for any type of product you’re designing.

By staying ahead of trends and incorporating cutting-edge technologies and ethical practices, designers can create activewear that meets the evolving needs and desires of consumers. Whether you’re just beginning designing or an experienced designer, consider these trends to ensure your activewear stands out in a competitive market.
