These days we’re all about comfort and style and that means we’re basically living in sustainable activewear while spending time indoors and working from home. Right now, it looks like social distancing and quarantine time is here to stay. So why not get comfy! I’m currently living in my dk active – Australian made activewear.
I discovered dk active when I was searching for sustainable workout clothes. And I instantly fell in love with the quality and style as soon as I tried on my first pair of yoga pants. I was so happy with my order, so I bought more tights, crops, and tanks. When you know, you know! Here’s why they’re my favorite Australian activewear brand and why you’ll love them too.
DK Active – Ethical and Sustainble Activewear
1. Fit
If you’re searching for sustainable yoga clothes that won’t stretch over time, let me tell you, these are it. Each piece is designed to move with you, and they feel like they’re made for you. Kind of like second skin. The fabrics are pre-washed before construction, so your garment stays true to size and is built to last. Owner and Founder, Danielle Kay, dreamed up dk active for everybody and every body.
“I wasn’t happy with the standards that I found overseas, so from both an ethical and a business standpoint, the only option that remained for me was to start doing it on my own, right here in Australia! That’s when the real journey began.”

2. Eco-Friendly Activewear
Dk active is made in Brisbane, Australia, from high quality and environmentally responsible textiles. The eco-friendly sustainable activewear is cut in house. From design, manufacturing, warehousing to distribution, each step of the dk garment lifecycle is contained under one (solar-powered) roof. P.s. They also ship worldwide.

3. Fabric
We love high-quality garments built to last, and dk active designs pieces are made from regenerated nylon, organic cotton, bamboo, and modal. These days I’m all about lounging in tights. Since they’re free of any toxic chemicals, you can feel confident knowing what you’re putting on your body.

4. Padded Bra Cups that Don’t Move
I’m constantly readjusting the padding on tops from other brands I own, and I’m not a fan. I find it especially annoying when they fall out after a wash. Out of all my activewear, the padding on dk active’s crops/sports bras doesn’t move, and I love them for that.
5. Colors and Styles
Is isolating and social distancing getting to you? Yup, we can relate. Spruce things up with a little color in your comfort wear. From women’s and men’s activewear to maternity, choose from a variety of styles and bold colors that are anything but boring. We love Nile Blue and Sangria.

We love the flattering deep V neck and the olive green color on this one. This crop actively works to keep you cool, calm and collected by wicking sweat away from the skin.
