Global brand Uniqlo offers some of the best casualwear out there, which obviously extends to their activewear. They have tights in every colour, with a range of great features as well, such as UV protection technology, comfy high-waisted silhouettes, and a super-comfy design that makes them perfect for most occasions.

While Rockwear can tend to be a bit more on the expensive side, you’ll never doubt the quality of their products. They also quite helpfully sort a lot of their products into the kind of exercise you do the most, such as ‘high impact’ sports bras, which are for running and intense cross-fit training, whereas ‘medium’ and ‘low’ impact are suited to slower, less vigorous exercise. They also have some really stunning colours and prints available!
