Angle New York: Luxury and Sustainable Activewear Have Met Their Match
Thanks Erin! My photographers have great posing direction!
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.
