Getting Fit With Sustainable Activewear

Sustainable fashion is a hot topic these days especially with the fact that the fashion industry is the second biggest environmental polluter in the world. Many people nowadays seek out a brands’ ethics to know more about where clothes are manufactured, what’s used to create them and what they are doing to minimise the effect on the planet. I’ve not come across many sustainable fashion brands that are solely sustainable using recycled fabrics, amazing quality and features…until recently and until I found Azul.

Azul is a stylish, minimalistic, luxurious, eco-friendly activewear brand – homegrown and designed in Dubai, UAE. Their aim is to focus on functionality, fit and fashion that is good for the environment.  Good for the body and good for the planet!  

The name Azul (which means Blue in Spanish) represents the ocean.  With sustainability at the heart of the brand (their logo is a wave which stands for commitment towards sustainability and reflects momentum and movement), all their activewear is made with internationally-certified Italian and American recycled fabrics that are salvaged from discarded fishing nets and ocean plastic waste.  All the dyes used are all eco-certified and eco-friendly and instead of plastic, the clothes are wrapped in cassava starch – which is 100% biodegradable.

The Azul designs are ultra-comfortable, functional and really cool to wear.  I can personally recommend them as I feel so good in the matching bike shorts and sports bra.  The material feels so soft against the skin, there’s an eight-way stretch feature in the fabric, the items are really easy to pull on and off (that’s a key feature for me!), the shorts have pockets and they wash really well.  Other features included UV Protection (great for working out outside and especially running), body sculpting and shape retention.  Fantastic quality and worth every penny. 

They are squat-proof (I definitely tested this feature in the gym!), with moisture-wicking technology and the pieces just feel so breathable making it so easy to move whatever the workout.  If you do hot yoga in particular, these are great options for it.

The brands mantra, Move…Meditate…Thrive really encapsulates the vibe and I can’t wait to see what else they do.  So great to see a fantastic activewear brand making sustainability a priority.
