3 Editors Test Out Forever 21’s New Activewear Collection

Forever 21 might not be known as a hub for athleticwear, but the brand’s newest collection makes the case that it probably should be. The newly debuted Forever 21 activewear line is a 23-piece capsule that marks the retailer’s first dedicated foray into athletic fashion. From lightweight windbreaker jackets and breathable onesies to contoured workout leggings and sports bras, the pieces are uniquely designed to help you tackle your next workout in style – regardless of your fitness routine or body type. And in true Forever 21 fashion, the items are all surprisingly affordable, too, with prices ranging from $13 to $60.

Whether it’s revamping our wardrobes for spring or brainstorming our looks for festival season, we can always count on Forever 21 to deliver styles that feel fresh and on trend, no matter the occasion – even if it’s just getting dressed for an upcoming workout. With this in mind, we tasked three PS editors with trying out Forever 21’s activewear collection and asked that they report back on how the styles fare in their athletic wardrobe.

Each editor chose their preferred workout set and size, so we were able to test a range of pieces (and colorways) and weigh in on the most important factors. For example, are Forever 21’s leggings thick enough to comfortably wear while lifting weights or doing squats? Do Forever 21 sports bras provide enough support for running or high-impact workouts? Ahead, we answer all of your burning questions and more about the brand’s first-ever workout category.
