If you're looking to strike the perfect balance between comfy and put-together, athleisure—or athletic clothing that's cute enough for everyday wear—is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Whether you're hunkering down at home or heading out to the gym, a matching set is guaranteed to level up your look and boost your confidence.
No one does cozy better than homegrown brands. Case in point: Team Chatelaine loves Canadian loungewear and Canadian winter coats. And with an array of gorgeous hues and trendy silhouettes, Canadian athleisure sets are also worth having on your radar. Keep on scrolling for our current faves. (Oh, and if you're curious about the criteria we consider when determining whether a brand is Canadian, read about our process.)
This stylish mint green athleisure set from Toronto-based Joe Fresh is also quite affordable. The cropped pullover is made from a cozy terry fabric that's soft and breathable. It's a great to layer over a sports bra after a workout. The matching high-rise leggings are made of a stretchy nylon and spandex blend with hidden pockets to stash small items.
Thanks to its antimicrobial and moisture-wicking properties, this top from the iconic Toronto-based brand—which is made from a stretchy blend of recycled polyester, nylon and spandex—is ideal for sweaty workouts. It also boasts UPF 40 protection for sunny days.
Complete the set with leggings in a matching lilac hue. They have two side pockets to stash your phone, keys or earbuds.
Organic cotton and recycled polyester make a cozy combo in this fleece-lined set from MPG, a BIPOC-owned activewear label based in Winnipeg. The ribbed crewneck and shorts are designed to be slightly oversized, making them perfect for lounging around on the weekends. Bonus: The shorts have pockets!
Leave it to Lululemon—headquartered in Vancouver—to create a supremely soft hoodie that looks as good as it feels. Crafted from cotton fleece, the oversized fit and comfy feel is a treat on cold days. Extras include a hidden phone sleeve in the kangaroo pocket and thumbholes for extra coziness.
For the ultimate athleisure set, pair the hoodie with the matching joggers. Pro tip: Go up a size to lean into the oversized trend.
Aritzia is another Vancouver-based fashion brand we love. This ultra-chic combo will take you from the yoga studio to grocery runs to coffee with friends. It features a sweat-wicking, ultra-soft fabric made from nylon and elastane. The leggings are available in short, medium and tall lengths, and both pieces come in a selection of neutral and jewel tones.
If you’re dedicated to your winter walks and want something that's both high-performance and comfortable, this thermal set from Quebec City-based Simons is just the ticket. It's made from responsibly sourced merino wool woven into a stretchy fabric, which wicks moisture away from the skin to regulate body temperature.
The fitted pieces are great for layering under pants and sweaters on cold days.
This loungewear set, made by a Vancouver-based brand founded by former Lululemon designers, is the perfect casual ’fit for winter days. Made from 100 percent cotton fleece, it's pill-resistant and pre-shrunk for low maintenance. Whether you're hitting the airport or the ski chalet, you'll feel great in this set. We like the pretty mauve hue pictured above, but there are also five other colours to choose from.
If you think the Barbiecore moment is over, think again. We love this bright loungewear set from Montreal-based Alowa Apparel, which looks as home on the tennis court as it does at home. The pullover's half-zip is both trendy and practical as it lets you cool off after a workout. As for the shorts, they come with an adjustable drawstring for a customizable fit.
