The activewear that earns its place in the wardrobe by refusing to stay in it.
There's a particular challenge with activewear: most of it is either genuinely good for training and awkward outside the gym, or it looks great on the street and falls apart the moment you start moving in it. PE Nation has been solving this problem since the brand launched, and the new season delivery that's just landed at Roze & Thorn continues to do exactly that — six pieces that perform when you need them to and carry when the session ends.
The palette this season leans into the combination PE Nation does best: Soft Pink and Cherry together, balanced by the clean neutrality of Whisper White. Bold enough to be interesting, coherent enough to build a full outfit around. Here's what's arrived.
The Training Set You'll Actually Keep Wearing
The Linear Jacket - Whisper White ($209) and the Linear Short - Whisper White/Fudge ($99) were made to be worn together and are equally strong apart.
The jacket is built from PE Nation's new 4-way stretch active fabrication — lightweight, fully breathable, and cut in a relaxed silhouette with a cropped elasticated hem and dark contrast piping running the length of the sleeves. Reflective branding at the chest means it earns its keep in early morning or low-light conditions. The kind of jacket that goes on for a run and stays on for the coffee after.
The short works in the same fabrication, with contrast ripstop panels added for durability and a Fudge-toned waistband that gives the cream-and-brown two-tone combination its particular quality. A functional drawcord and pockets — because a short without pockets is a decision no one asked for. Together, they're a complete training look. Separately, each one holds its own with whatever else you're wearing.

The Off-Duty Pieces
Tidal Oversized Sweat - Cherry ($149) is exactly what an oversized sweat should be: deeply boxy, built in brushed fleece with ribbed finishes, and finished with a large seasonal PE Nation graphic across the front in tonal cherry and periwinkle blue. The Cherry colourway is a deep, rich burgundy-red that photographs well and wears even better. The kind of layer that gets thrown on after a session and doesn't come off until the end of the day.
Spinout Baseball Tee - Soft Pink ($99) is the sports jersey that belongs in the wardrobe. A mid-weight cotton jersey silhouette with cherry red contrast binding at the neckline, sleeves, and hem, two red stripes running the length of each sleeve, and a seasonal branded graphic at the front. Wear it tucked into high-waisted shorts for a retro jersey moment, or loose over bike shorts for something more laid-back. The combination of Soft Pink and Cherry is one of those colour pairings that PE Nation keeps returning to — and for good reason.
The Statement Pieces
Scout Jacket - Soft Pink ($199) makes the most noise. A full-zip track jacket in pale blush pink with bold cherry red four-stripe detailing running down both sleeves in a textured mesh-ribbon finish — the kind of detail that reads expensive and considered even when you haven't tried. There's a kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs, and a small PE Nation tab at the chest. Wear it zipped as an oversized jacket, or open over a fitted outfit when the session is done and the day is just beginning.
Strata Rugby Knit - Strawberry Stripe ($189) is the piece that goes furthest from the gym. A long sleeve stripe rugby knit in bold cherry red, soft pink, and white horizontal stripes, with a polo collar, button placket, and ribbed cuffs and hem. The kind of knit that works as well untucked over leggings as it does half-tucked into wide-leg denim. It's the off-duty piece that doesn't require any justification — it's just a very good stripe knit in very good colours.
The Edit
Six pieces. A coherent palette. A brand that's worked out exactly how to make activewear that doesn't stay in the gym.
