From Gym to Street: How Australians Are Redefining Activewear
Australians have always had a love affair with activewear, but in 2025, it’s no longer just about what happens in the gym. Increasingly, leggings, zip-ups, and fleece layers are being styled as all-day outfits, blurring the line between performance wear and streetwear.
The latest collections from SHEIN’s Glowmode line capture this shift. Built on advanced textile technology normally found in premium brands, Glowmode’s range is designed for the realities of everyday life: dashing between school drop-offs, coffee runs, spin class and after-work catch-ups.
What makes the range stand out is the technology woven into each piece. Glowmode’s FeatherFit fabric offers a buttery-soft, second-skin feel in variations for warmth, breathability or sculpting support. PowerSculpt adds shaping with quick-dry layers, while Momentech Seamless delivers lightweight, chafe-free comfort ideal for long days on the go.
The result? Activewear that doesn’t ask women to choose between fashion and function. A pair of sculpting leggings can as easily be worn with sneakers for a coastal walk as they can under an oversized blazer for a night out. Soft fleece layers and wide-leg pants mean the line extends beyond workout gear into lifestyle essentials.
In a cost-of-living climate where premium leggings often exceed $100, Glowmode is proving that everyday luxury can be affordable. With leggings priced at $30 and a broader range spanning sports bras, zip-ups and accessories, it’s a wardrobe designed to move with Australians - in and out of the gym.
It’s not just an activewear moment: it’s a reflection of how Australians are rethinking what fashion means in daily life.
