Ethical athleisure brands to help you look good, feel good, and do good.

There’s a good chance you’ve started hearing the term athleisure wear a lot the past few years; that’s largely thanks to Lululemon, the activewear giant and popularizer of our beloved yoga pants. It’s no wonder that we all caught on to the athleisure trend Lululemon started—when you can go to work (or work from home) in the same clothes you work out and hang around the house in, you’re pretty much living the dream!

But can you feel good about wearing the active and loungewear that they put out? Is Lululemon ethical?

While Lululemon is taking some steps to make their brand good for people and the planet, they’ve still got a little ways to go. But we’ve got some fantastic brands who are already killing it by producing ethical, affordable, comfy athleisure wear that looks great.

Before we dig into the list, if you like learning about brands that are changing the way the world does business, want to be the first to know about new arrivals on DoneGood, and get exclusive discounts delivered right to your inbox, sign up for email from DoneGood below.

Now, let's get into it...

WVN

WVN stocks a wide selection of women's casual wear, so you're likely to find a great dress or blouse while you're shopping with them, but their variety of  activewear is what makes WVN a perfect swap for Lululemon. They've got ultra-comfy leggings, shorts, athleisure pants, and yoga bras that are up to the challenge of your most intense yoga sessions, or just a day working from home or running errands. 

And like all DoneGood brands, WVN puts people and the planet first. They trace their supply chain from start to finish, with GOTS certified organic cotton, recycled fabrics, living wages for their garment makers in India, and fair trade certified factories.
