Unlock Your Workout Power: The Exercise Dresses That Editors and Trainers Swear By for 2025—And Why You Can’t Miss Them!

Ever wonder what it feels like to slip into a workout outfit that hugs you tighter than your morning espresso—and somehow still lets you move like a ninja? That’s exactly the vibe I got when I first tried on the Align Strap Dress. At first, yeah, it’s like strapping into a sleek scuba suit—super snug, almost intense—but give it a little time, and this dress transforms into your go-to armor for everything from Barry’s brutal bootcamp to those steamy summer Pilates sessions. The built-in bra keeps things locked down for the girls (perfect for B and C cups, heads up!), while the buttery-soft Nulu fabric feels so weightless and breathable, you might just forget you’re even wearing it. Stylish enough to pass brunch test, yet tough enough to crush your sweat sesh—what more could you ask for? Stick around, I’m diving deep into this wardrobe game-changer and why it might be your new fave for high-impact days and cool walking vibes alike. LEARN MORE

The high level of compression in this dress feels like you’re wearing a scuba suit at first, but editors say it’s a cute style that can stand up to all of your high-impact workouts. The Align Strap Dress’ supportive sports-bra keeps the girls in place, and the built-in short moves like a second skin (once broken in), and is incredibly breathable. We’ve put this through the paces during intense Barry’s Bootcamp classes and pilates in the dog days of summer and found it kept us feeling locked-in and cool.

Although the tight fit does a great job of contouring to the body, the built-in bra is best for B and C cups, so it might not be the best for women with larger breasts. The proprietary Nulu fabric, a blend of nylon and Lycra elastane, feels buttery-soft yet weightless, making it perfect for summer exercises and hot girl walks. Our testers noted that while the compression is high, the stretch is as well, so this is a super comfy option for more intense workouts.

Style-wise, it’s super flattering, and goes with so many casual pieces. Our editors have worn it to brunch, yoga, and everywhere in between.
