Trends permeate everything, from what you wear to the grocery store to what you’re sweating in at the gym. In the eighties, the aerobics craze meant everyone was sporting high hipped bodysuits, and today, many sport Harem pants and sports bras to get through their cardio. Let’s take a look at the activewear on the runway this season.

Bodysuits

Although not nearly as high-hipped in most cases, the bodysuits of the eighties are back in full swing. They’ve managed to become quite popular both in and out of the gym, but they’re original purpose still stands. Aalto’s bodysuit is paired perfectly with a windbreaker, perfect for a hot hike in the summer, while Prabal Gurung and ALEXACHUNG opted for rib knit bodysuits, ideal for heading to a dance class.  Cynthia Rowley’s bodysuit is the perfect ensemble for yoga or cardio, and H&M x Moschino’s CD bodysuit will get you through weight lifting with ease.
