You know the cutout trend that's, um, everywhere at the moment? Well, PatBO is partially to blame. While the brand is a go-to for playful swimwear, its selection of ruffled, printed, and revealing dresses are probably what you're most familiar with. Not only are these pieces perfect for a warm beach vacation, they've quickly become a red carpet mainstay, with celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton, and Camila Cabello counting themselves as fans.

Now, however, PatBO is pivoting in a slightly new direction: sexy athletic apparel. While every item in its latest launch puts performance first and includes sustainable, recycled fabrics complete with moisture-wicking technology, these catsuits, bike shorts, and high-waisted leggings are far from your average gym gear. It's the stuff you actually want to wear — both while sweating it out at a HIIT class and as an everyday outfit, no weights or treadmills required.

"Designing activewear felt like a natural extension of the brand," designer Patricia Bonaldi tells InStyle via email. "When I design my swimwear, I am always thinking about how the piece flatters the body and how it moves. With activewear, it's very similar. I want the women who are wearing my clothes to feel sexy and empowered, whether she's in a gown or a tennis skirt."

Plus, while PatBO's fancy occasion dresses might set you back a few hundred bucks (worth it!), its foray into fitness is a tad more attainable. Prices for this collection range from $128 to $178, while sizes go from XS to XL.
