6 Exercise Dresses for Every Body Type and Occasion

One of the most popular exercise dresses, the Halara Everyday Cloudful exercise dress is a two-in-one activity dress featuring a built-in romper, a built-in bra and a tear-drop back design with criss-cross straps. The built-in bra includes removable pads, while the romper shorts contain a pocket on both sides that’s perfect for carrying car keys or a phone. Reviewers love the soft, cloud-like material and the many color options. Choose from four fit styles and a range of inclusive sizes. Here’s how to wash athleisure so it stays looking good as new.

Featuring LightSpeed fabric made from nylon and spandex, Outdoor Voices’s The Exercise Dress puts comfort first, with adjustable straps and a built-in shorts liner with pockets and leg grippers. This exercise dress offers a fresh take on the brand’s classic style, with updates based on real users’ reviews, like a removed center seam from the bodysuit liner. Whether you prefer a pop of color, classic black or even a pattern, there’s a colorway for every aesthetic. Pair this dress with your best sports bra and you’re good to go!

If you’re passing up Walmart as an activewear destination, think again. The retailer offers high-quality athleisure at a wallet-friendly price point, like this HDE Women’s Exercise Workout Dress. Don’t let that name fool you, though. This exercise dress is ideal for any activity—workout-related or not—and features a built-in romper made from stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric. Wear it to brunch and beyond.

This tennis-style exercise dress from Amazon is a dupe for more expensive options from popular brands like Outdoor Voices or Alo Yoga. It comes in beautiful colors like white, pink, lavender, indigo, mauve and, of course, classic black. This dress is made from nylon and spandex and features a four-way stretch that moves with you during every lunge, run and walk. Just like popular exercise dresses, this pick includes built-in shorts and a removable bra.

The Athleta Transcend Dress offers a buttery-soft feel and a semi-fitted, simple silhouette that keeps you cool at the gym, at the store and while hanging out around the house. The fabric is moisture-wicking, quick-drying and breathable, so you can say goodbye to wearing uncomfortably hot (and tight) activewear in warmer months. It comes in five different colors, and is available in petite and tall cuts as well.

The sweetheart neckline and thin straps on this Alo Yoga tennis dress keeps shoulders and arms feeling cool all season long, while the built-in shorts and bra deliver support. Pair it with a jacket for a sporty yet fashionable daytime look. The brand notes this exercise dress runs small, so you’ll want to order at least one size up.
