Your workouts don't slow down just because the weather changes — and neither should you. Although summer typically means warmer workouts and a bit more sweat, it doesn't have to equate to discomfort and chafing. With the right pieces, you can keep showing up to the studio or an outdoor sesh for a solid workout — even in the depths of summer. The Transcend Collection from Athleta puts comfort first during the sweatiest of times. Each piece is crafted with second-skin-like fabric for a close fit that's surprisingly lightweight and breathable. Plus, the barely there feel means you can keep moving and working all day, every day.

Take a peek at some of our favorites from the Transcend Collection to help get through those steamy summer workouts.

Transcend Bra

Transcend Bra

The Transcend Bra ($59) is one of our top picks for sweaty summer workouts thanks to its compression fit, flattering V-neck, and performance-ready fabric. It features enhanced Lycra fiber that's smooth and light against skin.

Transcend Skort

Transcend Skort

We're eyeing the Transcend Skort ($79) for that post-workout must have. This two-way stretch skort features a fitted design that's both light and breathable to allow for sweat and moisture to evaporate more easily. Plus, you can style this skort two ways: scrunched up or down for two lengths.

Transcend Tank

Transcend Tank

We're calling the Transcend Tank ($65) the most versatile tank for summer workouts. This minimalist top is made from Athleta's lightest yoga fabric, meaning it feels barely there on the body. And yet, it doesn't skimp on coverage or performance. With sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and UPF 50+ properties, this top is workout ready all day, every day.

Transcend Tight

Transcend Tight

Trust us when we say the Transcend Tight ($99) is made for movement. Thanks to second-skin fabric as well as a zero side-seam construction, these tights remain distraction free and close fitting for maximum coziness while you move from one activity to the next.

Transcend Short

Transcend Short

Prefer to take your yoga practice or bike ride outside? The Transcend Short ($59) is a great option. It still boasts all the same high-performance properties as its tight cousin (two-way stretchy, breathable, compression fit, just to name a few) but just with a warm-weather-ready short crop. We're giving out bonus points for a hidden internal card pocket in the waist for a baggage-free workout outside.

Transcend Crop Tee
athleta.com

Transcend Crop Tee

The breathable Transcend Crop Tee ($65) is made for your summer sweat sessions thanks to a lightweight Vitafree fabric that's ideal for comfort and mobility. We're favoring the V-neck, crop style, and cap sleeves for added style elements.

Transcend Capri

Transcend Capri

The Transcend Capri ($89) may be made for yoga, but we're confident it can take on any summertime workout, from hiking to running. With a cropped cut, high waist, and seam-free leg construction, these capris are built to move, just like you.
