By 2025, comfortable activewear will have become the absolute mainstream for both travel and daily wear. Whether it’s a long flight, a city commute, or a leisurely walk, people are increasingly pursuing that feeling of “forgetting its existence once you put it on” – breathable, wrinkle-free, quick-drying, anti-wrinkle, and capable of seamlessly switching between various scenarios. According to the latest industry trends, versatile activewear and breathable travel leggings are dominating the market. The best-selling items of well-known brands such as Lululemon, Vuori and Athleta prove: Consumers are willing to pay for multi-functional and highly comfortable yoga pants and sportswear sets.
As a professional operation team of Wingtuactivewear, we are well aware that B-end customers (such as small vendors, chain clothing stores, and brand clothing purchasers) need not only products but also best-selling items that can drive sales. The following content is based on the current popular fabric trends and real user feedback to help you choose the right material and increase the repurchase rate of your store.
The Four Core Factors Affecting Comfort
1. Fabric selection: The most popular “butter-soft” material in 2025
Industry reports show that Nylon + Spandex and Polyester + Spandex remain the top combinations for yoga pants and fitness wear, offering ultimate elasticity and quick-drying performance. Natural upgraded versions such as Modal and Tencel have become extremely popular due to their “cool feel + super softness”, especially suitable for high-end underwear and undergarments – users have commented that they are “like a second skin”.
- Recommended travel scenario: Nylon+Spandex (180-280g), anti-wrinkle, lightweight, perfectly coping with dryness in aircraft cabins.
- Daily wear: Cotton+Spandex or Modal blend (150-220g), skin-friendly and breathable, no embarrassment when worn outside.
2. The gram weight (GSM) determines the balance between lightness and warmth retention
The light and thin weight (150-220g) is a must-have for travel and is friendly to suitcases. Medium-thick weight (260-350g) is suitable for daily use in autumn and winter. The 2025 trend emphasizes “all-season” fabrics to avoid being stuffy in summer and thin in winter.
3. Seamless craftsmanship: Say goodbye to friction and enhance the sense of high-end
Seamless Fabric weaving technology has become standard, especially in the fields of seamless yoga leggings and seamless underwear. Reduce friction, invisible fit, no marks will appear even if you wear it all day during a long trip.
4. Detail design: Practicality leads to a bestseller
High-waist design, anti-glare lining, and side pockets for storing mobile phones and passports – these are the plus points of travel activewear. The multi-functional model that users love the most, allowing for seamless switching from an airplane to a coffee shop.

As a common purchasing mistake for buyers, avoid overstocking
- Chasing only low prices while neglecting ingredients → Prone to pilling and deformation, with many negative reviews.
- Ultimate elasticity sacrifices breathability → Hot and muggy in summer, high return rate.
- Ignoring the weight to match the season → Customers wear the wrong clothes for the wrong occasions, which affects repeat purchases.
Suggestion: Request a sample of the fabric for actual testing. This is a necessary step for professional purchasers.
