As a huge athleisure fan, I'm always on the hunt for trendy, elevated workout gear to add to my closet. And as a younger millennial (on the cusp of Gen Z), I'm not alone—my peers go all in on comfortable activewear (that you can also totally lounge around in). You don't have to be a Gen Z-er, however, to get in on the action, especially while Athleta, one of my go-to retailers for cute and sporty outfits, is offering 30 percent off everything (yes, everything—even sale items) in its catalog for its Friends & Family sale, which runs now through Sept. 29.

From the popular Salutation Stash leggings (from $109; $59) to this square-neck longline bra (from $55; $24) buyers can't get enough of, I've rounded up seven pieces to add to your cart during this massive sale.

These leggings have over 10,000 5-star reviews for their buttery soft fabric and high-waist fit that won't slide down during your workout. As one reviewer gushes, "These are the most comfortable leggings I have ever worn. I use them for going to the gym. The pockets are deep enough to keep my phone secured while working out! I have this same style in six different colors!" Considering they're also sweat-wicking and quick-drying, I wouldn't hesitate to stock up.

There's no better time than the present to score a soft-yet-supportive new sports bra that provides plenty of coverage as you move. Enter: This square-neck pick made from a stretchy blend of nylon and Lycra. "This is great for working out or sports," one buyer notes. "I love how soft and supportive it is for my 34C size. It can also double as an athleisure top with any kind of pants and even a layered shirt." I don't doubt it, considering its sleek, fitted design would look just as cute in a Pilates class as it will at brunch after. 

Looking for a pair of pants you can wear, well, everywhere? I recommend this mid-rise ankle style that will keep you feeling comfortable and looking polished. Shoppers rave about their elegant look, lightweight nature and versatility through any season. Crafted from recycled polyester and elastane, they're quick-drying if you choose to use them for working out and wrinkle-resistant if you choose to dress 'em up for work. Plus, they're abrasion-resistant, so they're bound to stand up against snags.

You can save $24 on this ultra-soft sweatshirt that features a crewneck design and thumbholes that hold the sleeves in place. Per the brand, it's made from a blend of Tencel, polyester and Lycra that's airy, breathable and quick-drying, so you're guaranteed to stay comfy wherever the day takes you. Whether you throw it on post-Pilates or for a cozy weekend leaf-peeping trip, trust, you'll be glad to have this pick within reach.

Track stripes are all the rage this season, and you can't go wrong showing off the detail on these high-rise joggers, which are equal parts sporty and stylish. They're made from a soft blend of nylon and spandex that makes them ideal for fall temps, and even feature enough stretch to do your downward dog in. Seamless movement and superior breathability aside, they are also quick-drying and machine-washable for easy wear and care. 

This cute bomber comes in multiple colors and can be your go-to for those foggy, rainy fall mornings—yep, it's water resistant. "I love this bomber jacket. It's comfortable and very attractive. Also functional in that it keeps you dry and has a hidden hood," writes one buyer, who adds, "I love the styling and the color and look forward to wearing it all fall."

Now's your chance to save big on this plush quarter-zip that you won't just love for its functionality, but its fit, too. As one reviewer writes, "I love everything about this quarter-zip, from the flattering fit to the luxurious feel! I've worn it under a blazer for work, thrown over my sports bra and leggings for yoga!" That said, consider this a must for morning matchups or just casual days out and about.
