Athleisure isn’t just for gym rats and yoga influencers; it’s a great way to elevate your mood, whether you’re going for a workout or having a chilled, wellness day in the city. With Germany’s reputation for quality and innovation, it’s no surprise that here, you can find some of the best athleisure brands.

So whether you’re flowing through a vinyasa at a Kreuzberg studio, hiking in Grunewald, or having an indulgent matcha at a Neukölln café, we’ve got the perfect fit for every wellness moment. Let’s suit up.

A dreamy yoga and pilates set

If your wellness routine revolves around yoga or Pilates at one of Berlin’s vibrant studios, think House of Healing or Spirit Yoga, you’ll need a comfy set to match your yoga vibe. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics that move with you. For example, MANDALA offers beautiful, feminine activewear crafted from organic cotton and recycled fabrics.

Go for a yoga bra with delicate criss-cross straps and pair it with high-waisted leggings in a serene mauve or a nature-inspired sandy leaves print. Layer it with a sheer silver mesh jacket for that post-class matcha run, and you’re ready to move through your day feeling as good as you look.

For the urban athlete

For those who prefer to enjoy Berlin’s urban scene, grabbing a fresh drink on the go from a juice bar or settling into a healthy food spot, KOLO Berlin allows every Berliner to stay true to the city’s cool and edgy vibe while being cozy. This avant-garde streetwear label takes inspiration from urban life and translates it into minimalist and timeless designs.

Think black joggers crafted from organic cotton, paired with sweaters in rich burnt orange or soft light blue, all punctuated with black accents. Finish the look with chunky sneakers from one of Berlin’s high-end sports stores, and you’re set for whatever the day brings — pre, post, and everything in between your workouts.

Effortless athleisure for slow days

Athleisure isn’t just for high-energy workouts — it’s also about embracing comfort, mindfulness, and the art of slow living. A cozy sweatshirt paired with relaxed joggers is the ultimate go-to for a leisurely Saturday stroll through Tempelhofer Feld or a quiet morning meditation by the Spree.

For a sustainable take on effortless style, look to Merz b. Schwanen — a heritage German brand that seamlessly blends authentic craftsmanship with contemporary design. Made from eco-friendly fabrics, their timeless pieces are perfect for curating a cozy, mindful wardrobe.
