The Way · The Refined Uniform
Six pieces, one colorway, twelve looks.
We've all been there: a drawer full of leggings and somehow nothing to wear. The La Voie Signature Collection was designed around a simpler idea. Getting dressed should feel effortless.
With six coordinating styles in our signature colorways, you can build an activewear capsule wardrobe that mixes and matches for Pilates, the gym, travel days, morning walks and everything in between, all for just over $500. Here's how.
What is an activewear capsule wardrobe?
An activewear capsule wardrobe is a small edit of workout pieces that all work together. Every top goes with every bottom, and every piece looks as good at lunch as it does in the studio.
It borrows from the classic capsule wardrobe: fewer, better pieces you wear on repeat. For activewear, that means choosing for performance and polish in equal measure, so what you move in becomes your everyday uniform.
Start with your signature color
First things first: choose the colorway you want to live in.
Whether you gravitate toward timeless Black, soft Dune, coastal Corsica or Red Currant for a little more color, each signature shade runs across all six pieces, so everything works together.
Start with a matching set. The next day, switch up the top. Trade your leggings for shorts when you want something different, then throw on the zip-up and keep going. One colorway gives you a full rotation without having to think about what goes with what.

Meet the six
A good activewear capsule wardrobe doesn't need an overflowing drawer, just the right pieces. Six is all it takes to start.
| Piece | Why it's in the capsule | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Lift Bra | Your supportive go-to, with a V-neckline and racerback for Pilates, strength days and everything after | $72 |
| Everyday Bra | A classic scoop with adjustable straps, so you have a second silhouette to rotate in | $68 |
| Seamless Cropped Tank | A streamlined top with a built-in shelf bra, for days you want a little more coverage | $78 |
| Essential Legging | The high-waisted, sculpting staple, with a seamless front and flattering back seam | $98 |
| Essential Short | The same high rise and seamless front with a 5" inseam, for heated classes, runs and warm days | $75 |
| Seamless Cropped Zip Up | The finishing layer you can throw over any combination | $118 |
| All six | $509 |
Three tops, two bottoms and a layer. That's the whole foundation.
Mix, match, repeat
This is where a capsule really pays off. Three tops and two bottoms make six different sets. Wear each with or without the zip-up and you have 12 looks from six pieces, all without adding a thing to your closet.
One week, one colorway
- Monday, Pilates: Lift Bra and Essential Legging.
- Tuesday, morning walk: Everyday Bra and Essential Short.
- Wednesday, studio, then lunch: Seamless Cropped Tank and Essential Legging, zip-up on for after.
- Thursday, strength day: Lift Bra and Essential Short.
- Friday, travel day: Everyday Bra and Essential Legging, zip-up on for the flight.
- Saturday, hot class: Seamless Cropped Tank and Essential Short.
- Sunday, slow morning: your favorite set from the week, zip-up on, coffee in hand.
Everything works together, which means more outfits and a lot less thought.
Beyond the workout
Your activewear capsule doesn't have to end when the workout does.
Pair your leggings with a fitted tee and sneakers for a travel day. Throw an oversized button-down over your matching set after a workout. Wear the Seamless Cropped Tank with denim when you're not heading to a workout at all.
That's what we think activewear should be: pieces that perform when you need them to, and fit just as naturally into the rest of your wardrobe.
What to look for in capsule-worthy activewear
When you own fewer pieces, each one gets worn more. Look for these before you buy:
- Fabric that holds its shape. Sculpting fabric with real compression keeps its fit wash after wash.
- A high-rise, stay-put waistband. No tugging mid-class, and it sits cleanly under a cropped layer.
- Minimal seams. A seamless front looks smoother and more polished outside the studio.
- Removable, adjustable details. Removable cups and adjustable straps let one piece work for more days.
- One color story. Pieces made in the same shades are what make mixing and matching easy.
Frequently asked questions
How many pieces do I need for an activewear capsule wardrobe?
Six is enough to start: two sports bras, a tank, a legging, a short and a layer. That gives you 12 looks. Add a second colorway later if you work out most days.
What colors are best for an activewear capsule wardrobe?
Pick one colorway and build the whole capsule in it, so every top works with every bottom. Black and Dune are the easiest to wear every day.
Can I wear activewear outside the gym?
Yes. Layer a structured jacket or a soft sweater over your set, or add a blazer to dress it up. Finish with a tote or your favorite bag, sunglasses and an elevated sneaker, and it's ready for coffee, errands or travel.
How do I make my activewear last longer?
Machine wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. Wash your activewear separately from rougher items like towels and jeans to reduce friction and help prevent pilling. You'll find care details for each piece on its product page.
Should I buy matching sets or mix and match?
Both. Buying in one colorway gives you matching sets and endless mix-and-match combinations at once.
Your refined uniform
Building an activewear capsule wardrobe isn't about having less. It's about choosing pieces that give you more ways to get dressed.
Start with one La Voie signature colorway and six coordinating styles, then mix, match, layer and make them your own. From Pilates and travel days to weekends and everything in between, consider it your refined uniform for wherever the day takes you.
