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 Zer, however, to get in on the action, especially while Athleta, one my go-to retailers for cute and sporty outfits, is offering up to 70 percent off its selection during its huge Semi-Annual Sale.

From the popular Elation high-rise leggings (from $89; $25) to the Everywhere Anorak jacket fans can't get enough of, I've rounded up 12 pieces to add to your closet right now. FYI: The sale only runs through June 29, so you don't have long to shop!

These leggings have nearly 9,000 5-star reviews for their soft, compressive fabric that won't slide down during your workout, and they're a *total* steal right now. As one reviewer gushes, "These are the best leggings I've ever worn! They don't slide down, fit great and don't show the bumps and bulges!" Considering they're also sweat-wicking and quick-drying, with a hidden drop-in pocket on the back waistband, I wouldn't hesitate to stock up.

Shoppers rave that this Anorak jacket has a comfortable and lightweight feel that's perfect for layering through any season. Crafted with a blend of nylon and cotton, it's water-resistant and wind-resistant, but still manages to stay breathable. Two side pockets provide enough space for smaller items like keys and credit cards, and there is a snap-button closure on each to ensure everything stays in place as you walk. Plus, you've gotta love the adjustable drawcord on the hood that allows you to customize the fit to your liking.

This stretchy nylon/Lycra sports bra comes in *tons* of colors and is designed for low-impact workouts like Pilates, but still feels plenty supportive, per buyers, one of whom writes, "I wear this bra for weightlifting and walking, and it does the job without any adjusting. I love the little cutout in the back of it." It also has removable pads you can opt to leave in for additional coverage.

You can now save up to $40 on these airy linen pants that feature roomy zip pockets, chic split hems and come in three different lengths. Per the brand, they're made from 100 percent certified European flax that is equal parts comfy and cozy, whether you're on the go or lounging around. Plus, you'll be pleased to discover the two drop-in back pockets that can fit smaller essentials.

This sporty crossbody has an exterior pocket to slip your phone into, along with an adjustable strap to turn it into a shoulder style. It's also ultra-functional; compact as it is, it features a number of interior slip pockets and even a key hook to make getting in the door less of a hassle (especially when you have your hands full). And if you get caught in the rain? No worries, the semi-recycled polyester fabric is water-repellent, too.

Now's your chance to save up to $90 on this sleek zip-up jacket that's made from sweat-wicking fabric and has zippered side pockets to keep your keys and wallet secure. Aside from its understated-yet-attractive design, buyers also love the comfort, as one reviewer writes, "This jacket is so soft and comfortable. I often wear it instead of a sweater with a dress or to complement an ensemble. It has a flattering silhouette." Consider this a must-have for morning runs, gym workouts or just casual days out and about.

There's no better time to prepare for your next getaway since you can score this quick-drying swimsuit for up to $75 off. Fashionable, flattering and athletic enough to make you look like a professional in water sports, the nylon and spandex material blend provides full coverage while not being too thick, and the crisp design is a flattering one that will accentuate your bum and legs. Plus, it's super stretchy and has a high neckline for sun protection.

You can take on any workout in this seamless tee since it's designed for medium to high impact and features grips at the hem to keep it in place. There are more than 15 versatile summer-friendly colors to pick from, *and* it comes with UPF 40+ protection built into it. Seeing as though you can snag up to nearly $30 off, I'm not seeing how you'll be able to resist picking up one, two or even three.

A little bit boho, a little bit sporty, this functional jumpsuit is definitely worth grabbing while it's only $40.  According to buyers, the nylon and spandex blend is lightweight and breathable, and getting it on and off is a breeze. "I love this lightweight jumpsuit that can be dressed up or casual when running errands," writes one shopper. "The zipper at the front makes it easy to put on and take off. I always receive lots of compliments when wearing it." BTW, both the hems and the waist are cinchable with a drawcord, so you can loosen or tighten as you please, or even create a cropped bubble-pant look by lifting the hems.

Summer showers are no match for this water-repellant, wind-resistant bomber, which features a stowable hood for weather changes and secure zip pockets to store your stuff when you're on the move. There's no denying that it looks so cute, but this baby, which you can wear well into fall, is also beloved for its versatility, with one happy shopper raving, "I LOVE this jacket. It is the perfect travel jacket. It's the right top layer for Bay Area summers. I needed a warm but not heavy layer for our cooler mornings and evenings." Sounds like you'll get plenty of use out of it.

Whether you're hitting the trail or hitting your couch, you can't go wrong with these high-rise shorts, made from a featherweight fabric that's ideal for summer temps. Silky-sleek movement and superior breathability aside, they also boast plenty of pockets (including ones with zip closures) and an adjustable waist for ultimate comfort.
