Reviewing Philippines popular activewear brands

The buzzword of fashion industry ‘functional clothing’ is setting the tone in parts of the globe. Functional brands are offering consumers the innovative features, and flexibility to shone their physical fitness in this COVID-19 global pandemic. Philippine is one such country, where activewear brands are offering top-notch range of collections for their customers.

Brands like Andi Activewear, to Future Relics, to MillennX Activewear, this alticle highlight some prominent features of these brands.

Andi Activewear

Founded in 2018, Andi Activewear is a female-owned business that aims to empower women through its apparel. The brand’s sportswear styles arrive in a minimal aesthetic and are constructed out of its breathable, stretchy and quick-dry Alpha Lite fabric.

The Moriah Strappy Box Bra provides medium support and features a square neckline. I tend to prefer sports bras that don’t show too much cleavage, and this piece definitely meets that requirement. What I especially love about this design is the hook enclosure at the back, which allows me to adjust the fit to my liking.

Complete with deep side pockets, the Yve 7/8 Leggings comes with a high rise waistband with darts that accentuate the waist. These bottoms are designed for high-impact practices, so I usually wear them if I plan on going for a run.

Priced at ₱1,300 and ₱1,500 PHP respectively (approximately $26 and $30 USD), the Moriah Strappy Box Bra and Yve 7/8 Leggings in “Marsh Green” are available to purchase via Andi Activewear’s web store.

Future Relics

Dedicated to shifting the mindset of young, active people in urban areas, Manila-based Future Relics is not your ordinary activewear label. Known for sharing inspiring content with its wellness community in the capital of the Philippines, the brand offers suggested running routes you can follow and is currently working on opening new studios in central hubs.

Working closely with local factories, Future Relics’ garments are made from ethically sourced fabric. The Crossback Bra comes with washable pads, and features a four-way stretch fabric that instantly dries after I break a sweat.

As for the tights, ventilated mesh design details can be seen on the sides and near the calves, giving it an overall premium look. I prefer my leggings to be a little tighter around my waist so that I don’t have to constantly pull them up while I exercise. If you’re like me, I would suggest sizing down to avoid that loose fit.

Priced at ₱1,800 and ₱2,500 PHP respectively (approximately $37 and $50 USD), the Crossback Bra and Mesh Panel Tights in “Black” are available to purchase via Future Relics’ web store. The brand currently only ships within Manila but it working on international shipping.

MillennX Activewear

Founded by deaf fashion designer Jamille Co Hernandez and her husband Glenn, MillennX is an inclusive label that caters to men and women of all shapes and sizes.

Additionally, the brand’s stylish offerings come at a discounted price for people with special needs. Offering personalized options, MillennX allows you to customize your set with your desired shades and even names, numbers or graphics you want to add to your pieces.

The Madison boasts a halter structure and interconnected bra pads. Designed for high-intensity training, this piece will help keep your breasts secured throughout your workouts.

The Faith tights arrive in a mid-rise fit and sports a full sublimation print with the mesh panels. If you plan on working out in these bottoms outdoors, I would recommend wearing your go-to nude seamless panties underneath, as the material of the leggings is a bit sheer.

Priced at ₱1,980 PHP (approximately $40 USD) each, the Madison Sports Bra and Faith Leggings in “Dusty Blue” are available to purchase via MillennX’s web store.
