Angle New York: Luxury and Sustainable Activewear Have Met Their Match
As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize that staying active is highly important. Now that I’m in a place where maintaining a healthy and fit lifestyle is the norm, it’s also time that I maintain a functional, yet chic workout wardrobe. I could go to the mainstream shops to pick up usual gear that everyone else is wearing…
…Or I could shop Angle New York – a luxury activewear brand that focuses on fit and functionality, equality, sustainably; and is proudly made and manufactured in the USA. The brand’s founder- Kathy Angele, goes on to explain, “Fit and function are at the core of our brand. We are equally committed to eco-sustainable fashion. Our fabrics are technically advanced; including moisture wicking properties, antimicrobial fibers and UPF protection. Recycled yarns and eco-enriched fibers raise the bar in athletic fashion.”
Their debut collection, ‘The Original 9,’ was inspired by a group of nine professional women tennis players, who were fighting for equal rights in the 1970s. These women were led by tennis champion and women’s rights activist- Billie Jean King. Every garment is named in honor of one of those nine inspiring athletes, and features retro-inspired silhouettes. The website even gives mini bios on these women, along with the product descriptions and such.
I had the opportunity to test out some of their signature pieces, which you see in the photos below. I was able to pick out a couple choices, so I thought….well, golfing and hiking are pretty popular here in Phoenix area, so let me focus on that! I must say that after spending some time wearing Angle New York, they definitely stay true to everything- fit, functionality, and breathability. The fabrics were flexible and light, making it easy to get a hole-in-one. I especially liked the Peaches Hooded Jacket, with the convenient pockets and the little “secret” zippered compartment in the back; and the Crissy Tri-Layer Angle Skort due to its sleek design, and also that I can not only wear it for working out, it’s also cute enough to run errands in right after.

Nice. I love the pattern on the back of the jacket…so funky!
I love comfortable clothing period but especially my active wear. That skort is a cute way to have function and fashion meet.
You really can’t beat athletic wear with great breathability in it. I know I’m always dishing out top dollar prices to get it. These pieces look beautiful & trendy on and I love that they stand up to the Arizona weather.
I love the golf outfit you looked so good! And you’re right about the staying fit I need to start changing my lifestyle soon!
Heather, this is awesome. What an amazing concept for the line. I love that it’s inspired by people who fought for women’s rights!!!
I definitely appreciate anything sustainable, and I also live my life in active wear. Sometimes I think if you’re already dressed to sweat and move it helps you spontaneously go from a walk, run workout whatever. Great post, and I freakin love the gangsta pose with you and the golf club.
Thanks Erin! My photographers have great posing direction!
