Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
From my high school varsity tennis days to my current weekly Pilates classes, my workout attire has always been important to me. Of course, I want to be comfortable, but as a fashion girly, I want to look good, too. You'd be surprised by how many pieces I've tried on that don't meet both of those standards, but there's one brand that has never failed me: Athleta. I’ve been wearing Athleta activewear for years, and I swear it only gets better. The leggings are my all-time favorite (they come in tall sizes for my 5'9" frame!), but everything the brand offers is high quality. Whether you're spending hours at the gym or just need to step outside to run some errands, Athleta has something for you. Keep scrolling to see my top picks from the site—everything from next-level comfy pants down to the socks I swear by.
I usually stick to black when it comes to workout gear, but with red at the top of the runway trends right now, it's no surprise that I was immediately drawn to this color.

As a Los Angeles based editor, I'm always prepared for a warmer fall and winter. While my East Coast friends stow away their shorts in October, mine are just starting to get their time to shine.
White sneakers and I have a very special relationship. I have more pairs in my closet that I can count on one hand, but I'm not planning on slowing down anytime soon.
I love that this is sheer so you can highlight a fun sports bra underneath.
You should see the strap detailing on the back. It won me over.
