The’90s nostalgia train shows no signs of slowing down, and SET Active just gave it a fresh fuel injection. The activewear brand has dropped a new SET Sportswear collection that doubles down on retro vibes with modern performance fabrics—and people are losing their minds over it.
What makes this collection worth the hype? It’s not just about slapping a throwback aesthetic on basic leggings. SET Active is blending’90s silhouettes and color palettes with the kind of technical features that actually work for real workouts. Think buttery-soft materials, medium-to-high compression, and details like contrast binding and bungee cord accents that feel authentically era-appropriate without sacrificing comfort or durability.
The collection spans everything from standout pieces like the Cloud Gym Shortysuit ($78)—a buttery-soft option with a built-in shelf bra—to the brand’s first-ever capri leggings, which feature no front or side seams for maximum comfort during movement. There’s also the Track Seam Zip Up ($125), a nylon jacket with dynamic stretch and a relaxed fit that screams’90s track suit energy, plus the Sporty U Tank ($65) and lightweight A-line skirt with built-in bike shorts. If you’ve been searching for that perfect balance between nostalgic cool and actual wearability, this is it.
Here’s the catch: SET Active releases tend to move fast, and sizes and styles are already disappearing from the rack. If there’s something calling your name from the collection, don’t sleep on it. Spring’s the perfect time to lean into retro vibes, and this lineup proves that sometimes the best fashion inspiration is looking backward—with a modern twist.
