Sure, there are a lot of things to love about Nordstrom. But one of our absolute favorite things about shopping at the retailer is its extensive activewear section—there's so much to discover and at different price points so that there is something for just about every budget. Case in point? Zella, Nordstrom's in-house activewear brand, has some of the best, durable, stylish, and affordable options. Are you a runner? There's gear for you. Love yoga and barre classes? Have you met Zella's Live In leggings? They're practically a cult favorite. Just want something to lounge around in or run errands? You've got options.
Zella is a big hit with our readers and editors—its leggings and sports bras are always topping our best-seller lists. And you can really count on these pieces to get you through the toughest workouts in comfort and style, and not to mention, they'll last you quite a while, too.
The good news is a bunch of Zella activewear pieces are discounted right now as part of Nordstrom's big Anniversary Sale. So if you've been wanting to try the brand for a while, now's your chance.
