Fashion for Health While Looking Fabulous
For many women, what we wear has become part of how we take care of ourselves. Clothing that feels comfortable for long days and offers protection when we’re outside can make everyday health easier to maintain. From fabrics that feel good on the skin to pieces designed to shield us from the sun, fashion plays an important role in daily wellbeing.
There’s good reason for that shift. Long-term sun exposure remains one of the leading contributors to premature skin aging and skin cancer, while ill-fitting or restrictive clothing can affect comfort, posture, and how we move through the day. As a result, designers are paying closer attention to fabric technology, UV protection, breathability, and fit, creating pieces that do more than look good. They help support healthier habits simply by being easy to wear.
The brands featured here design with that broader view of health in mind. Some prioritize comfort and ease, others focus on sun protection, but all are designed to support the body throughout the day. Together, they show how getting dressed can be one of the simplest ways to look after yourself, with pieces that feel polished, wearable, and naturally integrated into daily life.
Brands Designing for Everyday Health
WISKII Active
How WISKII Makes Wellness Wearable and Refined
WISKII Active proves that activewear can be both health-supportive and genuinely elegant. Designed for women who move through the day with intention, the brand blends sculpting performance fabrics with refined silhouettes that feel just as appropriate in the studio as they do out in the world.
One of WISKII’s signatures is its ability to soften performance wear. Fabrics made from a nylon and LYCRA spandex blend offer moisture-wicking comfort and sculpting support, while design details like scalloped edges and thoughtful silhouettes give the collections a distinctly feminine feel. This is activewear that blends seamlessly into daily life, whether that means Pilates, travel, or simply staying comfortable while on the move.
Our Favorites
WISKII’s most iconic offering, the Elegant Scallop Edit, draws inspiration from the ocean and the fluidity of freediving. Signature scalloped details add softness and visual interest while maintaining a sculpted, supportive fit. A standout piece from the collection is the Scallop Cropped Long Sleeve Top, finished with a half-moon scalloped edge that subtly flatters the body.
For a bolder, more modern take, the Color Block Edit introduces halter-neck and off-the-shoulder silhouettes, elevated through flat-locked seams and sculpting construction. The Long Sleeve Scallop Colorblock Top stands out as a chic two-in-one design, featuring an integrated bra and scalloped hem for a polished, confident look.
Rounding out the brand’s range is the Après Solace Edit, inspired by winter escapes and après-ski elegance. The Long Sleeve Half-Zip Full Length Unitard anchors the collection with a convertible collar, removable pads, discreet pockets, and a flattering full-length fit designed for both comfort and movement.

Where Style Supports Movement and Wellbeing
Love All Tennis approaches fashion for health through the lens of heritage, craftsmanship, and everyday movement. Founded by designer Kate Davis, the brand reimagines classic tennis silhouettes with a modern sensibility, creating pieces that feel as elegant off the court as they do in motion.

Inspired by summers spent on East Coast tennis courts, Love All Tennis captures the grace and rhythm of the sport. Each piece is crafted to move comfortably, flatter a wide range of bodies, and encourage confidence through thoughtful design. Made locally in New York City, the brand emphasizes quality, fit, and longevity, reinforcing the idea that clothing meant for movement should also be built to last.

The Value of What We Wear Every Day
Taking care of your health often comes down to everyday choices. Clothing that feels good to wear, offers protection, and works across the day can support wellbeing in subtle ways. Over time, those pieces become part of a routine, worn often and without much thought. They’re chosen for how they feel over hours, how they hold up, and how easily they fit into daily life. That kind of ease is what makes healthy habits easier to sustain.
