JournalWomen's gym wear, built for the work.
Gym wear should hold, breathe and disappear once you start moving. Second Era's first release is a small, considered system for women who train, lift and walk in the same week.
What real gym wear has to do
- Hold through weights, conditioning and impact.
- Stay opaque under load.
- Sit flat under a bra, a layer, a backpack.
- Wash hot, dry fast, keep its shape.
- Look right walking out the door.
The kit
- Lock Bra — high support for the sessions that ask more.
- Muse Crop — medium support for Pilates, mobility and studio days.
- Axis Legging — high-rise, no-front-seam, squat-proof.
- Pace Short — longer-line training short with a secure waist.
- Vale Tank — breathable training layer for hot rooms.
- Field Tee and Cut Crop — easy layers, studio to street.
How to build a working gym wardrobe
Two bras, two bottoms, two layers. That is the working unit. One high support and one medium. One full length and one short. One technical tank and one easy tee. Six pieces that cover almost every session.
Sizing and fit
See the size guide for measurements and fit notes. If you are between sizes, size up in tops for skim and down in leggings for hold.
