What should I look for when buying women's activewear?

Think about how you'll use it. For gym and running, look for stretchy, breathable fabric that moves with you; for casual wear and lounging, comfort and warmth matter most. Track pants, hoodies and zip tops are versatile for everyday athleisure, while a fitted top and leggings suit active workouts. Check the fabric and fit on the product page.

What's the difference between a hoodie, a zip-up top and a quarter-zip?

A pullover hoodie goes over your head and offers the most casual warmth with a hood; a full zip-up top is easy to put on and take off and layers well; a quarter-zip has a short zip at the neck for adjustable warmth and a sportier, neater look. Choose a full zip for easy layering or a quarter-zip for a trimmer style.

Should activewear be fitted or loose?

It depends on the activity. Fitted pieces suit workouts where you want freedom of movement without excess fabric, while looser track pants and hoodies are better for lounging, warm-ups and casual wear. Wide-leg and drawstring track pants offer a relaxed, comfortable fit, so pick based on whether you want performance or everyday comfort.

Is this activewear suitable for the gym or just for casual wear?

PEP's activewear is well suited to light workouts, walking and everyday athleisure, as well as lounging at home. Track pants, hoodies and tracktops are comfortable and versatile for casual wear, while stretchier fitted pieces suit more active use. For high-intensity training, look for the stretchiest, most breathable fabrics in the range.

Which activewear fabric is best for keeping warm versus staying cool?

For warmth, choose plush, fleece-lined or knit pieces like quarter-zips and hoodies — ideal for winter and cooler mornings. For staying cool during activity, lighter, breathable fabrics are better. Many track tops layer well, so you can start warm and remove a layer as you heat up. Check the product page for fabric details.

What can I wear with track pants for a casual everyday look?

Track pants pair easily with a plain T-shirt, a fitted top or a matching tracktop for a co-ord look. Add trainers for a comfortable, put-together outfit for errands, travel or the school run. Wide-leg and neutral-coloured track pants look neater and are easy to dress up with a simple top and clean sneakers.

Is it worth buying a matching tracksuit set?

A matching tracktop and track pants give you a co-ordinated look and the flexibility to wear the pieces together or separately with other items, which is good value for an everyday wardrobe. Neutral colours are the most versatile. Buying the top and bottom together also makes it easier to get a consistent colour match.

Can I exchange activewear if the fit isn't right?

Yes, PEP allows exchanges and returns in line with its current policy, so you can swap an item if the size or fit isn't right — confirm the latest returns time frame and conditions in-store or online. Keep your proof of purchase, and where possible keep tags on until you're sure of the fit.
