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 ($120) is the epitome of the throwback style. But with bungee cinches and vented paneling, it's also top quality.

The Unisex UA Forge RC Sportstyle Shoes ($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.

STM 4.1 Trek Legging
Pair an oversize tee with the STM 4.1 Trek Legging ($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.
