Discover the best looks in the industry in apparel and decoration. Here, we present the results for Best Performance Apparel.

Best Performance Apparel

Winner: Athletic Leggings (B940). Supplier: Champion (asi/59528); championlocator.com

These leggings are exercise essentials, made from a stretch fabric that moves with you and keeps you dry and comfortable. Chris Guard, marketing manager of HanesBrands, says their versatility is what makes them stand out. “They transcend sport and crossover to almost any occasion,” he adds. “While they’re workout favorites for teamwear, yoga studios and the fitness industry, they’re also great for everyday layering with casualwear for sororities, resort wear, workwear and the hospitality industry.”

Best Feature: “They’re heavy enough to provide great coverage, but still breathable and quick-drying,” Guard says.
