17 Versatile Exercise Dresses to Wear Everywhere

Outdoor Voices proves that you can do anything in a dress. This breathable exercise dress has adjustable straps and is not overly fitted to your body, so you have plenty of room to move while still feeling supported. It also has two side pockets in the build-in shorts to keep your phone or keys secure, letting you move around hands-free. Outdoor Voices offers this dress available in plenty of colors, from classic black to a bright shade of yellow.

My current clothing obsession that I'm wearing everywhere: Halara's Softlyzero Easy Peezy dress. It's called the Easy Peezy dress because it's made with built-in bike shorts that are detached from the sports bra in the back—meaning I don't have to take the whole dress off to go to the bathroom. Instead, I can just slide down the shorts like I would any other pair and the rest of the dress stays on. I tried out Halara's dress earlier this summer on a girls trip to Montauk. To my surprise, it was my most-worn piece of clothing during the four-day weekend. I wore it everywhere—to grab coffee in the morning, on an afternoon walk with my friends, and to lunch with a pair of cute sandals. The A-line dress is so flattering and the material is buttery soft, making it comfortable enough to wear all day long. The best part: It comes in at just $40.

Commerce writer Paris Wilson is a fan of FP Movement's Never Better bike shorts for the uber-soft fabric and opaqueness. The brand offers a similar super-soft bike short built into the Never Better dress—a stylish and fun take on the exercise dress trend. We love this one for the asymmetrical skirt that gives the dress a flattering, feminine flare. The breathable dress features four-way stretch, a side pocket for your phone, and an interior shelf bra for support. We also appreciate the sleek square neckline and low back cutout.

Lululemon's Align leggings are a favorite of our editors, so it's no surprise the Align dress would also be a hit. The buttery smooth, weightless fabric is so comfortable against your skin and easy to roll up and squeeze into a weekender bag or carry-on. It offers light support and will move with you, making it a great option for yoga. This simple and sweet exercise dress is flattering and not overly sporty, so you can rewear it with sandals and a denim jacket.

This Amazon favorite has almost 3,000 five-star ratings and hundreds of glowing reviews. Ideal for cycling, tennis, golf, or running, the A-shape dress is functional, cute, and won't break the bank. It has pocketed shorts, a built-in bra, and adjustable straps. Choose from colors like lavender, black, pink, mauve, white, and lemon.

We also love the look of a pleated skirt on an exercise dress. Perfect for a day on the courts, this performance dress from Activewear brand Vuori has a supportive sports bra, moisture-wicking fabric, and breathable shorts. It looks so polished with a pair of crisp white sneakers and the scoop neckline looks flattering on everyone.

If you're not planning to do a whole lot of activity but still want the sporty yet feminine look of an exercise dress, throw on FP Movement's oversized mini dress. It's lightweight, ultra-soft, and comfortable enough to lounge in. It features built-in shorts, thin shoulder straps, and a few pockets for small essentials like your ID or lip balm should you run out for coffee or down to the hotel lobby.

Another Outdoor Voices pick: the Court Dress, designed to look like a combination of two favorite OV pieces, the scoop-neck Double Time Bra and the Court Skort. With cut-out details and a wide, sporty elastic waistband, the dress is ideal for hot days on or off the court, jogging, skateboarding, or dog walking (just make sure to get some SPF on your back). The attached shorts offer two pockets to slip a phone or key into.

If you love the look of a tennis dress but don’t want the built-in shorts, this one is for you. This collared dress is perfect for the days when you want the preppy yet sporty style of an exercise dress, but don’t plan to be very active. Whether you’re trying a new local coffee shop or museum hopping, the relaxed fit of this dress will keep you comfortable all day long.

This Traveler mini dress can be worn just about anywhere. Whether you're headed on a hike in San Diego or grabbing lunch in New York City, this dress has you covered. I love that this one is simple enough that it can be dressed up with a sweater or accessories and comes in several staple colors. You can also choose between petite, regular, or tall for the most personalized length.

Here's a versatile exercise dress that's definitely worth a spot in your suitcase this summer. Not only does this dress offer light-to-medium support, adjustable straps, and is made of breathable fabric, it doubles as my favorite dress to wear on a date or to a cocktail bar. Make it casual with your favorite pair of white sneakers and a white button-down or dress it up with some sandals and a chic bag.

Another dress from Lululemon's Align collection is also worth a spot on our list of the best exercise dresses. The Align Cami Strap dress is ultra-lightweight and perfect for a yoga class where you're moving and stretching a ton. Made with breathable, sweat-wicking fabric and four-way stretch, this dress feels practically weightless. Its best for low-impact activities since the cami straps don't give as much support as a thicker strap would. Style this pretty pink number with high socks, white sneaks, and a cute little cardigan.

Set Active designs some of my favorite activewear, especially its bike shorts—which are built into this mini dress. It features a flattering sweetheart neckline and a sexy low-scooped back. The black and white color contrast makes this otherwise simple dress standout and is so flattering. It runs true to size and is available in a navy version, too.

This Amazon tennis dress is equal parts sporty and flirty. We appreciate fun details like the zippered collar and slightly flared skirt. It’s opaque and is plenty breathable and sweat-wicking, making it a great option for tennis, golf, or long walks. It’s available in over a dozen colors and at under $40, its one of the most affordable options on our list.

Girlfriend Collective designed this dress with its best-selling Paloma bra in mind. It's made with the brand's Compressive fabric for medium-impact support, making it ideal for hikes, tennis, or the gym. This one offers great support while still looking cute enough for a lunch date or museum visit. Did we mention it's made from 79 percent recycled plastic bottles?

This affordable activity dress from Halara is just as comfortable as it is cute. A favorite of Traveler senior commerce editor Madison Flager, it can be worn with or without a bra and has built-in shorts underneath that won't ride up. This one is ultra-flattering and available in all of your favorite colors. It also is available in a longer length for more coverage on your legs if you prefer.

This bestseller is available in dozens of colorways and is the perfect casual dress to pack for any warm-weather destination. With built-in shorts, adjustable straps, large front pockets, and a loose, oversize fit, it’s versatile enough to wear for just about anything. Wear it with sneakers, sandals, or your go-to flip-flops.
