We’re living in the golden age of athleisure, which means no one has to sacrifice fashion for comfort—not your mom friend who has no desire to put on actual pants, not your fitness-obsessed sister who lives at her Spin studio, not even your own mom who still wears your brother’s old track pants as pajamas.

Upgrade her workout (or hangout) clothes—and the gear that goes with ’em—this holiday. These are the glory days of sweats, people. What a time to be alive.

The Fitbit tracker can stand up to the sweatiest workouts, and these Fitbit-designed earbuds are no different: They’re sweat proof, customizable, and offer premium sound quality. Plus, the rose gold accents will look awesome even if she never steps foot in the gym.

Goodr Sunglasses

You don’t have to spend a fortune on a pair of sporty shades for her. These bright specs are only $25 but are seriously legit: They stay put while running or sweating, block out 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays, and have polarized lenses.

JoyLab Floral-Print Bra

We’re big fans of Target’s new JoyLab collection, and this sports bra is one reason why. It’s functional (performance fabric, moisture-wicking lining) but also looks just as good under a moto jacket as it does under a workout tank.

($19.99; target.com)

Aday Hail Yes Track Pants

Just as loose and slouchy as her old college sweats but with tapered ankles and rose-gold zippers, these pants are meant for more than the couch. They’re sweat wicking too, so they can be worn to the gym in a whoops-forgot-my-workout-clothes emergency.

Pointe Studio Grip Socks

Pointe Studio’s on-trend grip socks will help her feel grounded and balanced, even if she’s just running errands.

S’well Prism Water Bottle

It’s holographic, it’s millennial pink, and it’ll keep her water cool for 24 hours, even through hot yoga. (It’ll also keep her coffee hot for 12 hours if that’s more her speed.)

($35; carbon38.com)

Under Armour Ombre Headband

For the gym-hair-don’t-care believer or the I-woke-up-like-this friend who wants to look just slightly more pulled together.

($9.99; underarmour.com)

Sweat Cosmetics Starting Lineup

This sweat-proof package comes with a jar of powder mineral foundation, a twist-brush mineral foundation, and cleansing towelettes. Not even the gym stands a chance against these stay-put staples (84 percent of women said the product was still intact after an hour-long workout).
