A classic legging is an activewear essential, and the Journey pocket legging is full of details both practical and aesthetic.

4. A Cute Cropped Tank You’ll Layer With Everything

5. This Staple T-Shirt Dress You’ll Want To Live In

An A-line fit, high scoop neck, knee length, and short sleeves lend this T-shirt dress enough structure to be worn on its own, but it would look just as stylish paired with some of the leggings also on this list. The quick-drying fabric hides substantial UPF 40 sun protection, which blocks more than 96% of UV rays, and it even incorporates recycled fibers. Pair it with sneakers and a longer trench for a look that’s equally polished and comfy.

6. This Adorable Sporty Skort

Whether you actually wear this skort to play tennis or simply to enter your tenniscore aesthetic era, the look is preppy and playful. Made of moisture-wicking material with plenty of stretch for easy movement on and off the court, this skort features a high waist with a back pocket for stashing small essentials like keys.

7. A Breezy Midi Tank Dress

Another effortless everyday piece, the Journey Flow tank dress can be worn over a swimsuit with slides at the pool — this style also features UPF 40 sun protection — or with sneakers to run errands, or for those take-it-easy days at home. With a high crew neckline, tank sleeves, and a relaxed fit that hits at mid-calf, this is the dress to pop on when you want to feel relaxed yet still cute.

8. A Minimalist Mini Dress With Pockets

The square-necked tank dress was a fixture of ‘90s style, and this Alder collaboration hits all the classic marks — from the fitted bodice with wide tank sleeves and a square neck, to the A-line silhouette of its thigh-length mini skirt. (Even this dusty green shade is reminiscent of the colors often associated with grunge-era fashion.) This dress features modern, athletic updates like side pockets and a split hem, and it’s made with enough stretch to take on the tennis court. Pair with sneakers and a jacket that hits below the hem for comfy, vintage-inspired style.

Sizes: XX-Small — 4X | Colors: 2

9. The Modern Romper You’ll Never Take Off

A one-and-done piece you’ll actively conspire to re-wear, this romper is made with enough stretch to move through gym workouts and outdoor activities; it even has moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry, and it doesn’t hurt a bit that the onesie style happens to be Kardashian-level on-trend. When you’re not exercising, layer on a crisp white button-down and pointed-toe mules for a look that can go from the gym to brunch.
