Your activewear works hard. From nailing dance combos to powering through workouts, and even surviving your “just five more minutes” errands, it sees it all. But here’s the secret: your leggings, sports bras, tops and hoodies will only stay fabulous if you treat them right.
Think of this as a little love letter to your favourite pieces - because sweat happens, spills happen and life happens… but your Confidance Wear doesn’t have to show it. Here’s how to keep your gear comfy, colourful and long lasting, so it keeps moving with you day after day.
1. Wash Smart, not hard
Over washing is the quickest way to dull your colourful pieces. Treat your activewear like VIPs:
- Cold water only – preserves colour and elasticity
- Gentle cycle or hand wash – no rough tumble, please
- Inside out – keeps vibrant patterns shining
- Skip fabric softener – it kills the sweat-wicking magic
Bonus: your hoodies, jumpers and jackets will stay soft and snuggly longer too.
2. Skip the dryer drama
High heat is the enemy of stretch and shape. Tossing your leggings, sports bras or tops in the dryer? Big no-no.
Instead:
- Lay flat or hang to air dry
- Hang jackets and hoodies to prevent pilling and shrinking
Your pieces will thank you with longer life and better fit.
3. Keep fabrics separate
Mixing delicate activewear with jeans or towels? That’s a recipe for snagged seams and pilled fabrics.
- Wash leggings and sport bras together
- Separate lights and darks
- Keep zippers and Velcro away from silky fabrics
Your patterned leggings and standout tops will stay show ready for longer.
4. Sweat happens - handle it like a pro
We all sweat (hello, dance class intensity). But leaving sweaty gear in your gym bag? Not cute.
- Rinse pieces in cold water if you can’t wash immediately
- Hang to air out before tossing in laundry
This keeps sports bras and leggings fresh and odour free.
5. Storage & travel tips
Your activewear deserves VIP treatment, even on the go:
- Roll leggings and tops to avoid creases
- Use separate pouches for accessories
- Hang delicate pieces like bras or silky tops
Your matching sets, jackets and hoodies will stay structured, ready for action anytime.
6. Special features deserve special care
Confidance Wear isn’t basic. Many pieces have:
- Hidden or dual pockets – perfect for phone, keys or snacks
- Bold colours and patterns – treat them gently to avoid fading
- Stretchy, high performance fabrics – skip the dryer and softeners
- UPF 50+ protection – cold washes keep your sun protection intact
Treat your gear like it’s earned your trust and it will reward you with flawless performance and style.
7. Little habits, big rewards
- Zip up jackets and undo clasps before washing
- Fasten Velcro straps on bras or accessories
- Rotate your pieces so no single pair does all the heavy lifting
Do this and your leggings, tops, sports bras and hoodies will stay vibrant, supportive and ready to move with you every day.
8. Why Confidance Wear lasts longer
Every piece is built for movement, comfort and style. From leggings with mild compression and hidden pockets to matching sets that turn heads, sports bras with silky soft linings and hoodies and jackets that keep you cozy, we design our activewear to last.
Follow these care tips and your favourites will keep up with every dance, workout and coffee run for years to come. Ready to show your activewear some love?
