Indian activewear brands that feel like Lululemon but won’t break the bank

Created in Mumbai, sold all around the country, Silvertraq’s bestselling T-shirt is a game changer—light, form-fitting, and designed to absorb sweat without leaving a trace, just like much of their other activewear.

2025 was the year of the racquet sport, and this brand knows how to make the perfect tennis skirt for on and off the court. Whether it’s a walk with your latte along the sea face, or an evening playing pickleball with your girls, they have a matching skirt set for the occasion. The Sculptor jacket is as close as it gets to the beloved form-fitting Lululemon Define jacket.

If you like Pilates, matcha, or own a pink Stanley cup, then you are going to love Terractive. Designed in a multitude of flattering silhouettes, the brand nails that sweet spot between functional and feminine. Their tops come with frills and shorts with pockets perfectly sized for your phone. They have perfected the Pilates Princes staple—the “wrap top” made with fabric so soft you’ll want to live in it long after your workout.

Airport fits have evolved into a full-fledged paparazzi-fuelled fashion moment, and Blissclub’s options will help you nail the perfect check-in look. Their soft, travel-ready fabrics are available in the most flattering pastels, and they make long-haul comfort look effortlessly elevated. The quarter zip is reminiscent of the Lululemon Scuba, complete with matching flared pants that put together cost less than the Canadian company’s tops alone.

Bird Eye’s pieces move with you: think of them as the perfect balance between cloud-like comfort and a snatched, sculpted fit. From their Limitless tights to their Tone bra, whether you’re lunging or lounging, this brand has got you covered.

The fight between Pilates and gym girls has been more prevalent than ever on the Internet, and Ela Wear has come to bridge the divide. Picture ruched backs that make your bottom look like squatting is your full-time job, multiway, backless tops that are sexy yet supportive, and low-rise, V-cut waistband leggings that flatter through even the most complicated stretches. 

Kica keeps it real, be it with prices or silhouettes. The best part of the brand are their basics, which are likely to last you years. Doesn't hurt that the colour range makes getting dressed for the gym something to look forward to.

The two-tone workout set has dominated the Internet this summer, earning its spot as the season’s most-coveted workout look both in and out of the studio. Naturally, Pace was not a brand that was going to be left behind. Available in neutral tones, it’s perfect for easy outfit rotation and takes compression to the next level. It's the level of gloss we have seen perfected on Alo, but at a justifiable price.
