I'm a sucker for a solid throwback trend. But there's not a style I adore more than that of 1990s or early aughts sportswear. With Mel C at the helm, street style worked its way into my already-sporty heart at a young age. From striped flared track pants to high-top sneakers and geometric patterns on everything, if it was sportswear that a pop star would wear, I was — and still am — hooked.
Needless to say, I seek out pieces that allow me to channel my nostalgia vibes and embrace my favorite retro style. Most recently, when I saw the newest launches from Under Armour, I was instantly transported back to the first time I fell in love with pieces that would eventually be dubbed athleisure.
These seven pieces all speak to my aughts-loving heart, but still maintain the performance quality that Under Armour is known for.
UA Summit Woven Jacket
With a bold geometric design at the forefront, the UA Summit Woven Jacket [2] ($120) is the epitome of the throwback style. But with bungee cinches and vented paneling, it's also top quality.
UA RECOVER™ Woven Upstream Camo Wide Leg Pants
Beyond the repellant UA Storm technology and recover-ready fabric, the UA RECOVER™ Woven Upstream Camo Wide Leg Pants [3] ($80) hits the mark for style.
UA HOVR™ Havoc 3 Basketball Shoes
The UA HOVR™ Havoc 3 Basketball Shoes [4] ($110) feature zero-gravity UA HOVR™ technology and a compression mesh Energy Web among many things, making them a great pick for both work and style.
UA Qualifier Run Iso-Chill Upstream Camo Short Sleeve
Have I mentioned I love a bold print? The UA Qualifier Run Iso-Chill Upstream Camo Short Sleeve Shirt [5] ($45) ties in a retro-esque color palette with modern Iso-Chill mesh fabric technology to disperse body heat after a workout.
UA Forge RC Sportstyle Shoes
The Unisex UA Forge RC Sportstyle Shoes [6] ($120) leans hard into its retro look with its textile and synthetic mixed-material. Beyond the throwback style, the Forge sneakers feature a duel-density midsole for extra cushioning and a fully rubber outsole for everyday wear.
UA Armour Mid Crossback 6M Sports Bra
I'm eyeing the UA Armour Mid Crossback 6M Sports Bra [7] ($65) for a number of reasons, from the double-layered HeatGear® fabric to the neon red and pink.
STM 4.1 Trek Legging
Pair an oversize tee with the STM 4.1 Trek Legging [8] ($110) for an off-court look. But don't be fooled: these leggings can also do the work with their compression fit and paneled fabric.
