Flattering, super soft and sustainable – there’s not an activewear buzzword that YMO’s Daybreak leggings doesn’t cover. Made from buttery soft fabric in a clever seam-free design, these leggings are perfect for low-impact workouts such as a Pilates or barre class, or for slipping on for WFH days just because they are SO ridiculously comfortable. Designed with a crowd-pleasing supportive high waist, plus a compressive fit to support and shape your legs, you really won’t want to take them off.

Best for yoga

Yoga’s popularity in the west might have its roots in the hippy culture of the sixties, but it’s come a long way since then, firmly entering the mainstream and banishing its bohemian roots. There’s now no reason not to look on pointe on your mat, thanks to brands such as Alo Yoga, who have transformed the yoga wear market with products such as its Airbrushed Capri Pants. Designed to lift, sculpt, contour, and smooth your legs, they’ll fit like a second skin, but are still soft and breathable enough to move easily with you through each asana. Made with no bulky side seams, they’re so light and breathable you’ll want to wear them everywhere.
