Ann Taylor’s younger, cozy-focused brand, Lou & Grey, launched a new category this week: activewear. The collection includes a handful of leggings, sports bras, tank tops, and a few fun jackets, all for pretty decent prices. Tank tops start at $45, and the most expensive item is $128; most of it, though, is between $50 and $70.

The line is divided into three categories: high-impact workout clothes, low-impact workout clothes, and what’s essentially athleisure. As for what to buy? These leggings are a favorite, as are these very cool palm-leaf print leggings (both are $69.50). The inline tank top is also incredibly soft — it’s $49.50, which is a lot for a workout top, but if you do a lot of lounging and/or restorative yoga, it’s a good pick. See those and a few other highlights below.

Inline Tank ($49.50) and Utility Drawstring Joggers ($69.50); Palm Inline Tank ($49.50) and Utility Drawstring Joggers ($69.50).
