Introducing Lanuuk’s Athletic Collection - why wait to achieve your fitness goals?

Lanuuk Athletic Collection

Here at Lanuuk, we’re thrilled that modest athletic wear has been taking the fashion world by storm as large brands known for gym clothes and sportswear, Nike and Gymshark have made progress in normalising modesty in fitness. The activewear market has boomed recently, with a value of 320 billion in 2022 and a forecast to grow to 450 billion in 2028, there is always room to make activewear more diverse and accessible.

At Lanuuk, we are truly inspired by our loyal customers who choose us year after year for our dedication to luxury modesty. We always look to provide modest coverage without compromising on fashion and functionality. As champions of modesty in fashion for the last few years with our passion for swimwear, there is no better time to introduce our very first Athletic Collection and encourage people to ‘just start now’ when it comes to their fitness goals.

With inspiration from our swimwear collections, our aim is to bring variety and versatility into the athleisure space. Not just for those motivated by religious reasons but also to bridge the gap and provide comfortable and stylish solutions to those looking for more coverage during their workouts.

A look into the collection

Lanuuk Athletic can be worn as sportswear or everyday wear, helping women across a range of sizes to keep their skin covered while they move with ease. Featuring five signature styles in size XS-3XL, the collection focuses on flattering silhouettes, embodying Lanuuk’s ambition to create a diverse selection of inclusive, premium products that are ethically made.

Crafted from functional four-way stretch material that moves with you, the fabric has been selected with a range of activities in mind and is breathable, sweat releasing, moisture absorbing and quick-drying - helping to empower your every move. Available in a range of classic colours, including black, shadow, dusk, navy and sage, Lanuuk Athletic allows you to cover your skin (for modesty or otherwise) while you work out without having to compromise on style, fit or quality.

New Year resolutions rejections

Start now by rejecting those unrealistic goals

As we approach the end of the year, people begin to think about their ‘New Year resolutions’ for 2024. We tend to set huge, unrealistic goals that feel daunting to tackle at all. We go into January with a fear, a dread and inherently the belief that our goals are taking control of us and our lives. Social media tells us that we should immediately go out and run a 5k, absolutely not. Should we drastically switch up our diet and dread every meal? No way. We hope our Athletic Collection launch serves as a reminder that there is no better time to start on your fitness journey than today, and that by starting small, you are already doing the world of difference for your wellbeing.

Starting with small, positive changes to your day can have the biggest difference to your life. Whether it be going out for a twenty minute walk, taking the stairs rather than the lift or signing up to a gym, exercise in any form can do wonders for your mental health too.
