Activewear Market Trends: What Buyers Should Watch

Sets and matchingCoordinated tops and bottoms lift AOV

What This Means for Buying

  • Broaden size ranges — mid and plus sizes carry real demand
  • Offer sets — a coordinated top+bottom sells better than either alone
  • Build a neutral core plus 1–2 trend colors per drop
  • Document sustainability claims properly or avoid them

Colors That Keep Selling

  • Black, navy, charcoal — permanent core
  • Sage, terracotta, dusty pink — reliable mid-trend
  • One seasonal accent color per drop

What to Avoid

  • Over-buying a single trend color
  • Chasing a fad after peak
  • Skipping size extension on hero styles
  • Thin, low-GSM fabric to hit a price point
