When it came to performance-driven active clothing in the past, individuals needed to negotiate between style and function. However, nowadays it is a whole different ball game as brands have developed innovative sportswear fabric technology that is compatible with chic silhouettes. One of those brands is OTTI.
OTTI recently dropped a new selection of lightweight active clothing—for both indoor and outdoor use. Among these silhouettes is the Cocoon Down Short Jacket in chic Gold Yellow. Filled with 50 grams of weight recycled down in an Italian recycled nylon shell fabric, the piece is windproof, comfortable, and water-repellant. The new active clothing range also includes some hike-ready pieces like the four-way stretch Long Skirt and the 3L Convertible Hiking Pant—both optimized for comfort and versatility. OTTI's active clothing drop features stylish athleticwear, as well, like the Recycled Thermal Crop and Leggings.
