The Active Edit: Bamboo Activewear

Made for moving, comfortable for everything else.

We don’t make activewear, but our customers kept telling us they were wearing their Lou Lou favourites on morning walks, to pilates and out on the golf course. So we’ve gathered the pieces that work best for gentle movement into one easy edit.

Bamboo is naturally suited to an active day. It’s soft and breathable, draws moisture away from your skin as you move, and helps regulate your temperature so you stay cool when it’s warm and comfortable when it’s cooler. Add a relaxed fit and a little stretch, and you have clothing that moves with you without feeling like gymwear.

Perfect for walking, yoga, pilates, golf, stretching, or simply a busy day on your feet. Then stay in them for coffee afterwards.

Bamboo Activewear FAQs

Is bamboo good for activewear?

Yes, especially for light to moderate exercise. Bamboo fabric is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, so it draws sweat away from your skin and helps you stay comfortable as your body temperature changes.

Can I wear these pieces for pilates and yoga?

Absolutely. For mat work we recommend our leggings and bike shorts, as their closer fit moves with you when you bend and stretch. Our relaxed pants, culottes and tees are perfect for gentler yoga, walking and golf.

Is this the same as performance sportswear?

Not quite. These are everyday Lou Lou pieces we have chosen for gentle movement such as walking, yoga, pilates and golf. For running or high-intensity training, you may prefer a technical performance fabric.

What makes Lou Lou bamboo different?

We custom-mill our own 260gsm bamboo, a weightier fabric than most, for a soft, substantial feel and beautiful drape. Learn more about our bamboo.

How do I care for my bamboo after exercise?

Wash on a cool, gentle cycle to keep the fabric soft. See our Product Care page for full instructions.
