[Frankie Collective](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-knits) worked with HYPEBAE, the female-focused subsidiary of HYPEBEAST, to release an exclusive editorial that highlights some of the best athleisure wear that's available for women this spring.

A variety of designers are featured in the Frankie Collective editorial, however some of the most prominently highlighted pieces come from Champion, adidas, and [Juicy Couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-x-madhappy) -- with the latter's collaborative line with [Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimwear-redefined) adding some unique textural elements due to its use of velour. In addition to the different athletic pieces, a number of swimwear tops are highlighted in the shots, as well an adidas wet suit.

As the Frankie Collective editorial demonstrates, traditionally athletic apparel and swimwear tops can easily be transformed into fashionable attire that's fit for a night out with the right styling.
