Locally Active: 5 Filipino Athleisure Brands To Check Out

October 1, 2024

Discover these local athleisure brands that are made to suit the climate, lifestyle, and culture of the Philippines.

Athleisure wear is one of the most comfortable ways to go out in style. It is the perfect mixture of form and function—as you put on those leggings and bodysuits you are ready for the day and the gym. Moreover, in our country’s unstable climate, athleisure wear is a good transition outfit that can be used indoors and outdoors.

As the local fashion scene in the Philippines is slowly blooming, athleisure wear brands are also starting to pop up. Moreover, local athleisure wear brands have incorporated a local touch of Filipino culture through their designs. These five local athleisure wear brands should be added to your wardrobe.

Lunge and Lounge

Recess is a local athleisure brand that markets its products as lunge and loungewear. Their collections and designs revolve around the flexibility of athleisure wear—you can use it for pilates and at the same time for a quick coffee run. Furthermore, their design code centers around breathable, stretchable, and comfortable pieces. Thus, making it easy to move in and out of.

Elevated Essentials

Basic pieces are integral for building a capsule wardrobe. This is where Common Mode specializes in—basic athleisure pieces. However, make no mistake, though Common Mode’s design philosophy is all about going back to the basics, they find different ways to elevate it. From different colors to seamless cuts, the brand’s designs are made to keep you comfortable, confident, and content.

Effortlessly Chic

Beach wear and athleisure wear are often interchangeable; however, for Float Swimwear, they found the intersection. The brand creates chic active swimwear that exudes femininity and comfort. Moreover, the brand’s design philosophy of not overcomplicating things led them to the creation of versatile pieces.
