    The beginning of a new season always inspires a fresh start, so it's time to go back to basics. Chic, activewear-inspired basics, that is. (The best kind, in my opinion.) I have a thing for finding compliment-worthy pieces no matter the style, and the following athleisure staples from Vuori are the crème de la crème. From old moneyinspired tennis dresses to sophisticated sweat sets, you can mix and match the basics below to your heart's content—and earn tons of compliments while you're at it.

    One-and-Done Dresses and Jumpsuits

    Activewear dresses, jumpsuits, and onesies make for an effortlessly put-together outfit. They're ultra versatile, too: You can layer them under a T-shirt, sweater, or even a blazer to dress them up or down.

    One Shot Tennis Dress - White - Xs

    Vuori
    One Shot Tennis Dress
    $98
    $98 AT VUORI

    If you want to feel elegant while breaking a sweat, a tennis dress is your best bet. Bonus: this one has a bodysuit underneath for added coverage and sculpting support.

    Vuori Allthefeelsamp;trade; Jumpsuit - Kale - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheFeels Jumpsuit (Was $128)
    $89
    $89 AT VUORI

    This ultra-flattering jumpsuit has a high neck and open back that are so undeniably chic.

    Vuori Allthefeelsamp;trade; Onesie - Lavender Mist - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheFeels Onesie (Was $118)
    $94
    $94 AT VUORI

    There's so much to love about this onesie: The silky-soft fabric, the dreamy lilac hue, and the under-$100 price tag.

    Colorblock Corset Jumpsuit - Mahogany - Xxs

    Vuori
    Colorblock Corset Jumpsuit (Was $128)
    $64
    $64 AT VUORI

    Make a statement in this color-block jumpsuit. (And be prepared for people to ask where you got it from.)

    Sporty Tanks and Bras

    From fitted racerbacks to cropped tanks to sports bras, these are top-drawer staples for working out, lounging, and even going out. And don't worry, I won't judge if you get these in a few colorways.

    Vuori Allthefeelsamp;trade; Support Tank 2.0 - Java - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheFeels Support Tank 2.0
    $74
    $74 AT VUORI

    Chocolate brown isn't going anywhere, so you might as well try out this color trend. You could even wear a white sports bra underneath this tank to make the brown hue pop more.

    Vuori Allthefeelsamp;trade; Triangle Bra - Blue Coast - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheFeels Triangle Bra
    $58
    $58 AT VUORI

    The second I saw this V-cut sports bra, it had to go straight into my cart. This is a magnet for compliments.

    Pose Plyo Tank - Black - Xxs

    Vuori
    Pose Plyo Tank
    $64

    You could pair this tank with everything from sweatpants and sneakers to trousers and kitten heels.

    Vuori Alltheformamp;trade; Bra - Black - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheForm Bra
    $64
    $64 AT VUORI

    If you like a more supportive sports bra, this one will be your new favorite. It has a classic scoop neck, buttery-soft compressive fabric, and comes in four colorways, including poppy orange and deep azure blue.

    Versatile Pants

    Classic high-waisted leggings, flare-leg yoga pants, or sleek joggers? Take your pick of these must-have pants.

    Vuori Allthefeelsamp;trade; Legging - Black - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheFeels Legging
    $98
    $98 AT VUORI

    Let's be honest: You can never have too many leggings. This stretchy, silky-soft pair is my current favorite. I can't wait to get them in all five colors.

    Vuori Allthefeelsamp;trade; Slim Flare - Java - Xxs

    Vuori
    AllTheFeels Slim Flare
    $118
    $118 AT VUORI

    Your favorite flare-leg yoga pants from the 2010s are back. And according to fashion people, they're here to stay this time.

    Daily Legging - Light French Blue - Xxs

    Vuori
    Daily Legging
    $89
    $89 AT VUORI

    Sorry to my other workout bottoms, but high-waisted leggings will always be the move. The fabric on these is compressive, yet so breathable.

    Performance Jogger - Spring Heather - Xxs

    Vuori
    Performance Jogger
    $94
    $94 AT VUORI

    I hear you: You want to wear sweats, but you want something a little more elevated. Reach for these joggers—they have a closer fit and a sleek silhouette that's still so comfortable.

    Sophisticated Sweats

    If you think a sweat set can't be classy, think again. Bonus points if you pair these separates with gold hoops and a pair of sunnies.

    Sedona Pullover Hoodie - Crystal Blue - Xxs

    Vuori
    Sedona Pullover Hoodie
    $118
    $118 AT VUORI

    This hoodie feels like you're being wrapped in a cloud. Plus, I'm in love with the baby-blue color.

    Sedona Straight Leg Sweatpant - Crystal Blue - Xxs

    Vuori
    Sedona Straight Leg Sweatpant
    $108
    $108 AT VUORI

    I'll be wearing the matching straight-leg sweatpants until further notice.

    Long Sleeve Halo Crew - Black Heather - Xxs

    Vuori
    Long Sleeve Halo Crew
    $96
    $96 AT VUORI

    Wear this crew for everything from working out to lounging. The dreamy fabric wicks away moisture and is supremely comfortable.

    Sedona Sweatpant - Black - Xxs

    Vuori
    Sedona Sweatpant
    $98

    The most perfect sweatpants to ever exist, in my opinion.
