Anexercise dressorworkout dress is an item of athleisure.[1]

History

[edit]

Exercise dresses were marketed by the brand Outdoor Voices in 2018 and according to the Wall Street Journal became a "viral hit". By 2020 Under Armour and Athleta were also marketing the dresses.[2]

Description

[edit]

The dresses typically incorporate a bodysuit including bike shorts under a racerback A-line dress, often with a pocket in the shorts to accommodate a phone, keys, or credit card.[3][4][5] They are constructed in some combination of nylon and spandex.[2] Wearers step into the shorts through the neckline and pull the dress up to put it on.[3] According to Cosmopolitan, the dresses are appropriate for general daywear and "literally no one would know you just wore it to the gym".

Response

[edit]

Women have experienced stares and double-takes when exercising in an exercise dress.[2][4][6]
