Whether you're lacing up your sneakers for the first time and want to learn how to get better at running or you’re looking to level up your running game by discovering the best running tracks in Perth, you're in the right place.
The preferred form of exercise for around 23% of West Australians, running is fantastic for burning calories as well as helping to maintain a healthy weight, and a daily run will boost your mood, strengthen your bones and muscles and improve your cardiovascular fitness.
As you set your fitness goals for 2024, Hyperluxe is here to be your running buddy, guiding you through the streets of Perth while offering tips to ensure you look stylish and feel supported every step of the way.
If you're new to the running scene, welcome! Starting a running routine might seem daunting, but fear not, if you take it slow and steady you’ll be smashing out 5km+ jogs in no time.
Avoid the temptation to run an extended distance without building up your stamina first as that approach is a recipe for failure. It’s important to start slow and begin with a mix of walking and jogging to build up your fitness and ensure your body is ready for longer stretches of intense cardiovascular activity.
We suggest walking for one minute then running for two in the early days of your running era. As your body adjusts and you feel your stamina increasing, boost your running windows to three minutes, then four, and soon you won’t need to take walking breaks at all.
Set achievable goals, celebrate small victories and listen to your body. Consistency is key and soon you'll find yourself addicted to the runner's high.
When you’re starting out it’s important to invest in a good pair of running shoes that don’t compromise on quality. Trust us, your feet and knees will thank you!
Here at Hyperluxe we often recommend the Asics GT 2000 12 Sneaker to newbies entering the running scene, as this design offers high stability to support your joints across various distances. Available in sizes 7 to 11, the GT 2000 boasts a midsole with FF Blast Plus cushioning - a high tech design feature that provides a softer landing than other sneaker styles.
Running amateurs and experts alike consistently give the On Running Cloudnova sneaker a glowing review. Built with CloudTec - an advanced cushioning technology that reduces muscle fatigue, the Cloudnova style provides soft landings followed by powerful take offs so that you can run faster, for longer.
We’re lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet, home to a plethora of running tracks, each with its own charm. From scenic coastal routes to lush parklands, West Australians are spoilt for choice when it comes to running tracks. These are some of our fave running tracks Perth:
Starting or finishing your day with a run at Kings Park and Botanic Garden, with abundant bush on one side and city views on the other, is hard to fault! The varied terrain - ranging from bitumen to gravel, concrete footpaths and plenty of long grassy stretches, keeps things interesting. And if you keep your eyes open, you’ll spot plenty of WA’s stunning flora and fauna along the way.
When you’ve built up your running stamina you may even wish to venture just outside of Kings Park and Botanic Garden to give Jacob’s Ladder a crack. Be warned that this much loved staircase gets very busy in peak times and when there’s a lot of activity on the stairs, running up and down can be tricky.
A flat and scenic running route along the river, the Swan River foreshore offers a mix of urban and natural landscapes. For intermediate to advanced runners, the 10km Swan River Loop is a fantastic way to take in the city.
Starting at Elizabeth Quay and wrapping around the Swan River via the Barrack Street Jetty, Riverside Drive, South Perth foreshore and Causeway, this Loop is favoured by running clubs as well as cyclists. Just remember to stay left and keep your ears open for cyclists’ bells to avoid collisions!
A popular spot for runners and walkers alike, one loop around Lake Monger is 3.5km in length, which is a great distance for newcomers to the sport.
Although it’s sandwiched between the freeway and Lake Monger Drive, thick vegetation and a beautiful view over the Lake makes this a serene spot, particularly at dawn. Come spring, keep your eyes peeled on the footpath for baby cygnets and freshly hatched turtles.
Once you’ve worked up a thirst, we recommend stopping to refuel at one of Lake Monger’s two food trucks - there’s The Açai Corner near the pump track (Leederville end) and What The Flip over near the Dodd Street Playground. Both serve up a cracking coffee and abundant post run snack option.
Before you hit the pavement and let the rhythm of your heartbeat guide you through the scenic streets of Perth, pop in to see us at Hyperluxe to find an epic fit to ensure you feel chic and comfortable as you pound the pavement. Your running adventure begins now - make every step count!
]]>Are you ready to take your activewear ensembles to the next level in 2024? We've got the inside scoop on all of the hottest activewear trends coming your way this year and trust us, you’re not going to want to miss a single one!
The activewear landscape continues to evolve rapidly thanks to innovations in technology that shape the fabrics and silhouettes we reach for. Keeping up to date with upcoming trends ensures you not only look great during your workouts but also benefit from the latest advancements in performance enhancing activewear.
Whether you're a fitness freak, an athleisure lover or someone who just likes looking fab while staying comfy as you go about your day, we've got you covered with the best activewear trends to invest in this year.
Brace yourself for a surge in innovative fabrics that enhance performance and comfort without compromising on sustainability. Most of our favourite activewear brands are heavily investing in state of the art fabrications this year to ensure their garments can keep up with the rigours of Australians’ active lifestyles.
Look out for high-tech materials like moisture-wicking blends and compression textiles, as well as eco-friendly fabrics that prioritise your wellbeing without harming the planet.
Take for instance PE Nation’s Recharge bike shorts which are 82% recycled polyester and 18% elastane, or Nimble’s Sweat to Splash bike shorts that you can workout and swim in.
Crafted with Nimble’s unique MoveLite fabric that is made from recycled bottles, these form fitting shorts are SPF 50+, quick drying and contain rubber to withstand exposure to chlorine, salt water and UV, so that you can wear them to a spin class then dive straight into a pool or the ocean to cool off without having to get changed first.
Yoga lovers won’t want to overlook Beyond Yoga’s Spacedye collection, which is formulated to be buttery soft as well as moisture wicking to keep you feeling cool and comfortable whatever flow your Bikram instructor throws at you. Boasting jumpsuits, dresses, joggers, tanks, joggers and more, the Spacedye range by Beyond Yoga at Hyperluxe has something for everyone.
Neutral tones will continue to dominate the colour palettes of athleisure collections in 2024, with many brands prioritising shades of brown and beige as well as washed out greens, blues and purples.
Instead of reaching for black basics this year, we encourage you to dive into hues such as latte, walnut, sand, mocha and espresso, which look just as delicious as they sound!
With Pantone having named Peach Fuzz as their colour for the year, we’re anticipating many labels will incorporate soft pinky orangey shades into their collections as the year progresses. Get ahead of the trend by investing now with the Hyperluxe Sports Tank in Coral or the New Era 940 NY Cap in Ice Latte.
Dopamine dressers need not fear a tsunami of neutrals because on the other end of the spectrum, we’re seeing plenty of bright pops of colour coming through from our favourite labels including WA’s own Leelo Active, that recently released a stunning range of must-have separates in tangy tangerine.
As shoppers continue to favour activewear pieces that can also be worn away from the gym to get more bang for their buck, brands are looking for new ways to add value to the pieces they design via multi-functional silhouettes that suit a variety of settings.
The Upside’s Bounce Cordove skirt in white is a great example of an activewear staple that can be worn for a morning jog then seamlessly styled for a day of errands or a night out with friends. A modern take on a classic pleated tennis skirt, this stylish separate looks fantastic with a crop top for a workout or with an oversized Blanca shirt, such as the Alessia short sleeve design in green or the transparent Astra style with floral details, once your sweat sesh is over.
The Mark One Sports Bra by P.E. Nation is another piece that offers superior versatility. Created from recycled matte fabrication, this asymmetric style is part of the iconic Aussie brand’s Studio to Street collection, which is designed to be worn at yoga, pilates, barre or a dance class, as well as out for cocktails once the sun goes down.
At Hyperluxe, we pride ourselves on being trendsetters in all things activewear. Our curated collection of Australian and international brands is carefully selected to align with the predicted trends of 2024.
Visit us in store at North Beach, Karrinyup, Applecross or Dunsborough, or browse online to explore our extensive array of activewear that features cutting-edge fabrics, bold designs and eco-conscious choices to keep you at the forefront of fashion.
Join us in embracing the future of fitness fashion, where style meets sustainability, and empower yourself to be a 2024 trendsetter.
]]>In a world where change is the only constant and fitness and lifestyle trends 2023 continue to evolve and adapt thanks to social media and technological advancements, it can be difficult to keep on top of which activities and equipment offer the best results.
If you’ve ever found it hard to keep abreast of current wellness trends or struggle to sort the fads from tried and true options, you’re in the right place. Let HyperLuxe be your compass on a journey through the ever-shifting landscape of wellbeing, showing you which direction to take to ensure you feel great in 2024.
One health trend that's turned up the heat (quite literally) in 2023, and is poised to continue rising in popularity in 2024, is saunas. No longer just a luxurious spa experience, saunas have well and truly become a staple in countless health-conscious individuals' routines.
But why are saunas so hot right now?! Promoting relaxation while improving circulation and even aiding in muscle recovery post-workout, saunas have become an integral part of a holistic approach to good health and wellbeing. With all the chatter about saunas on social media it’s no wonder that many people have started to wonder ‘are saunas good for you?’.
The simple answer is yes! Saunas are like a spa day for your cardiovascular system. The heat makes your heart pump a little faster, improving blood circulation and giving your ticker a workout.
Saunas also promote sweating, which helps your body to de-bloat and shed toxins to leave you feeling fresh and revitalised.
In addition to the physical benefits, saunas are fantastic for relaxation, which, let’s face it, all of us could use more of! A short stint in a sauna is like a mini vacation for your mind away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Stepping foot into a sauna is like hiding away in a zen den, which is great for your body and mind.
While a sauna session is great for relaxation, if you’re after a 2023 health and wellness trend that packs a punch, boosts your heart rate and is a full body workout, you’re probably going to love High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).
Geared around short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods, HIIT is time efficient, making it perfect for those of us with a million things on our to-do list. With HIIT, you can burn calories and boost your metabolism in a fraction of the time compared to traditional workouts.
But it's not just about the clock, HIIT also works wonders on your metabolism, continuing to burn calories even after you've crushed your session and have taken a well earned break via a sauna session.
There’s also no need for fancy equipment with HIIT. Whether you're a gym buff or prefer home workouts, or getting outdoors to exercise while the sun is shining, HIIT can take place wherever you are.
Whether you love the sound of both HIIT and saunas, or would prefer to delve deeper into just one of these popular 2023 health and wellbeing trends, you’ll find the perfect fit to complement your new regime at HyperLuxe.
More than just stylish, HyperLuxe’s extensive range of Australian activewear is hand picked to enhance your wellness journey.
From towels and swimwear that are an essential ingredient for any sauna visit - our favourites include Sea Level’s separates in Cocoa and Bond Eye’s bikinis in eye catching cerise stripe; to Nimble’s Sweat to Splash range, which is perfect for beachside HIIT followed by a cooling dip, you’ll discover a huge range of activewear at HyperLuxe.
In addition to Australian activewear, HyperLuxe is also home to a wide range of towels to complement your fitness pursuits. From the dreamy Destination Towels, which feature a stunning picture of Western Australia, and are quick drying and repel sand, to the fabulously fluffy Sunny Life beach towels and our very own HyperLuxe workout buddy gym towels, each towel design available at HyperLuxe is meticulously selected to complement your health and wellness journey.
From moisture-wicking towels to water bottles (don’t forget to stay hydrated while engaging in sweat inducing health trends!), swimwear, bike shorts and more, Hyperluxe has your back (and front) covered. Visit us in person at North Beach, Karrinyup, Applecross or Dunsborough to discover the full range.
As we bid 2023 adieu, remember this: your journey to a healthier life is uniquely yours but a little guidance never hurt anyone.
Dive into the sauna or HIIT craze, wrap yourself in Australian activewear from HyperLuxe, and let 2024 be the year you prioritise your physical and mental health.
Your body, mind and wardrobe will thank you for riding the wave of well-being like never before!
]]>Staying cool and keeping hydrated can be a challenge under the blazing Australian sun, which is why we’re sharing five easy-to-follow tips to remain happily hydrated when the mercury starts to soar.
Why is it important to stay hydrated? On top of helping you to feel refreshed on a scorcher of a summer’s day, adequate water intake is vital to your health and overall well-being. On hot days or during strenuous exercise (and especially while doing strenuous exercise on hot days!), our bodies lose water through sweat and if we don't replenish it, we start to feel under the weather pretty quickly.
Dehydration isn't just about feeling thirsty, it comes with a range of telltale signs. If you notice dizziness, dark urine and/or a persistent feeling of fatigue, this is your body's way of waving a red flag, telling you it's time to up your water game.
Proper hydration keeps your skin glowing, your digestion on track and your energy levels up. Plus, when you're breaking a sweat during your favourite fitness class or workout activity, staying hydrated is the key to unlocking peak performance.
So, without further ado, here’s five tips on how to keep hydrated in summer.
The key to avoiding that awful feeling of dehydration is to sip water consistently, not just when you start to feel parched. In fact many experts say that if you wait until you feel thirsty to drink, you’ve already left it too long.
The best way to ensure you’re drinking water consistently throughout the day is to have an emotional support bottle at the ready. Make it a habit to carry your preferred water bottle with you wherever you go for hydration salvation within arms reach.
Health professionals recommend drinking two litres of water per day in summer, which sounds like a lot, but if you sip consistently here and there, you’ll surprise yourself at how much H20 you can smash through without having to overthink it.
If it helps you to keep motivated to sip, set yourself a challenge to drink one litre of water before lunch and a second litre before dinner.
Not all water bottles are created equal! At HyperLuxe, we've taken the hard work out of finding a high performance water bottle by offering only the best water bottle brands both in store at Karrinyup, North Beach, Applecross and Dunsborough, as well as online.
From the hundreds (if not thousands) of water bottle brands on offer to thirsty fitness lovers, Frank Green and Hydro Flask reign supreme.
Certified superheroes of hydration, Frank Green and Hydro Flask designs feature vacuum insulation to keep cold water cool for up to 24 hours, even when it’s stinking hot outside.
Dishwasher safe, to make it a breeze to clean your water bottle at the end of each day, both bottle brands also boast ceramic lining to prevent your water from picking up that awful metallic after taste that many have come to expect from subpar metal water bottle designs.
Elevate your hydration game by adding Welleco's Super Elixir powder to your water.
Packed with nutrients, Super Elixir not only quenches your thirst but also adds a bonus layer of gut health and skin benefits to your hydration regime. Designed to enhance energy levels, improve digestion and reduce bloating, The Super Elixir is packed with over 40 naturally derived ingredients.
Vegan, paleo and keto-friendly, WelleCo’s signature product contains ingredients ranging from L-Glutamine to boost collagen production, to antioxidant rich Papaya and Acai berries to guard against free radicals.
Add two teaspoons of Super Greens to your morning glass of H20 to give your water a supercharged upgrade.
Whether you’re working out indoors at your favourite gym, or find yourself soaking in the sunshine while getting your heart rate up in the great outdoors, any form of exercise puts your body's water needs into overdrive.
Before, during and after exercise, make hydration a priority to avoid the persistent pangs of dehydration. Pre-hydrate with a good amount of water, sip during your workout and replenish post-exercise to recover like a pro.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how much water you consumed over the course of the day, you’re not alone! If you don’t keep tabs on how many times you fill up your trusty Frank Green or Hydro Flask water bottle, it’s very easy to lose track of your fluid intake, which is a sure fire recipe for dehydration.
Whether you keep a record via a note on your phone, or download an app that keeps a tally of your fluid intake for you, monitoring your water intake is vital to ensuring you’re hitting your hydration goals day after day.
With our five tips to stay hydrated with help from HyperLuxe, you're well-equipped for a summer filled with vitality and well-being. Sip, sip, hooray to a hydrated summer!
]]>Ever wondered why a vigorous workout leaves you feeling footloose, fancy free and like you could tackle whatever life throws at you? It’s all thanks to the benefits of exercise endorphins, those seemingly magical mood boosting hormones that are the masterminds behind your post exercise glow.
Produced in response to stress and pain, as well as pleasurable activities, endorphins play a crucial role in regulating your mood and are essentially your body’s personal cheerleaders.
When these little champions are released, they bind to receptors in your brain to reduce your perception of pain while triggering a blissful, euphoric feeling.
When you engage in physical activity, your body perceives it as stress (the good kind). In response, it releases endorphins to mitigate this stress and, in turn, these endorphins leave you feeling on top of the world.
Endorphins aren’t just your body’s way of patting itself on the back; they’re also nature’s mood elevators. These neurotransmitters act as a powerful force against stress and anxiety, helping you find your zen even in the midst of life’s chaos.
Stressed at work? Pull on your latest athleisure ensemble from HyperLuxe and hit the gym or lace up your favourite Hoka sneakers for a restorative jog along the coast. Once you get your heart rate up, the endorphin rush will not only melt away the tension in your muscles but also leave you with a sense of calm that lingers long after your workout is over and you’re back on the couch scrolling TikTok.
Not all exercises are created equal when it comes to releasing endorphins.
Aerobic exercises, like running, cycling and dancing, are a fast track to an endorphin rush that will result in a natural high. These fast paced activities get your heart pumping which stimulates the production and release of endorphins.
It’s not about running a marathon or lifting the heaviest weights; it’s about finding an activity that you genuinely enjoy. The more you love what you’re doing, the more endorphins you’ll unleash, and the happier you’ll be. It’s a win-win!
While high impact aerobic exercises result in the biggest endorphin release, low impact exercises such as pilates and yoga can still do wonders for improving your mood.
You might not break a sweat doing a yin yoga flow or a pilates circuit but these activities still result in a release of fabulous exercise endorphins.

Whether you’re flowing through sun salutations or mastering the art of controlled movements while activating your pelvic floor, know that your endorphins are cheering you on, silently shouting, “You got this, zen warrior!”.
If you find yourself struggling to get off the couch and out the door for your daily endorphin hit, perhaps a new exercise outfit is just what the doctor ordered. Wearing the right gear isn’t just about looking good (although, let’s be real, that helps). It’s about feeling good, too.
Comfortable, stylish activewear isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a motivation amplifier.
Picture this scenario: Your alarm wakes you up at the crack of dawn and through half closed eyes you spot that matching PE Nation sports bra and shorts set you picked up at HyperLuxe. Suddenly, your morning run seems a lot more enticing.
When you feel good in what you’re wearing, you’re more likely to tackle your workouts with enthusiasm. At HyperLuxe we intrinsically understand the importance of functional fashion to ensure you not only perform your best but also look and feel your best doing it.
Now that you’re pumped about the science and you’re sold on how great endorphins are, it’s time to ensure your fit is up to scratch.
Home to all of the activewear labels you know and love, as well as some you may have yet to fall head over heels for, our online store and physical stores in North Beach, Karrinyup, Applecross and Dunsborough are home to a curated array of athleisure brands that will ensure you feel comfortable and look stylish the next time you find yourself chasing an endorphin high from exercise.
Whether you’re a running enthusiast, a yoga devotee or a hiking aficionado who loves nothing more than tackling a challenging trail on a beautiful summer’s day, you’ll find all of the activewear you need to motivate yourself to get moving at HyperLuxe. From Asics to Vie Active, we’re a one stop shop for the A to V of activewear.
In the pursuit of a healthier, happier life, don’t underestimate the benefits of exercise endorphins. Being active isn’t just about physical gains; it’s about cultivating a positive mental state that extends beyond the gym.
With the right knowledge, the right mindset, and the right activewear, you can turn every workout into a celebration of self-care and well-being.
Next time you want to activate happiness and naturally boost your mood with a workout, be sure to swing past HyperLuxe first to find the ideal outfit on your path to a fitter and happier you.
]]>From a fresh faced Kate Moss wearing jeans and a plain white tee to depart a runway show, to Christy Turlington papped sporting an oversized bomber jacket with a film camera in hand, the 90s supermodels are perhaps best remembered for the model off duty look they pioneered.
Icons of style both on and off the runway, the 90s supermodel pack paved the way for casual ‘off duty’ looks imbued with a sporty twist.
Epitomised by outfits that seamlessly blend comfort with easy going silhouettes, the model off duty look hinges on appearing chic but effortlessly so, which is an aesthetic best recreated with timeless, understated wardrobe staples synonymous with effortless elegance.
Drawing sartorial inspiration from Moss and Turlington, as well as their fellow supermodels Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Linda Evangelista, modern style icons from Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner to Kaia Gerber consistently cast their attention back to the 90s to shape and inform their own outfit choices.
Keen to recreate the ‘90s model off duty aesthetic? Look no further than HyperLuxe’s stable of athleisure labels to build the look from top to bottom.
From our HyperLuxe Eco tank to the HyperLuxe bralette and the HyperLuxe Sport tank, all available in crisp and classic white, HyperLuxe’s in-house collection offers an extensive range of simple yet stylish basics that are a must-have for anyone seeking to recreate the model off duty aesthetic.
Each of these basics is executed in stretchy and super soft fabric blends that cling in all the right places for a form fitting silhouette.
Another great model off duty top option is the HyperLuxe Rugby Polo Shirt in green and white. An oversized style that works just as well with jeans as it does with your favourite pair of bike shorts, this cool yet casual piece is 100% cotton so that you don’t overheat, even when the temperature starts to soar.
An uncomplicated street style staple, the HyperLuxe Rugby Polo Shirt is an ideal throwover ideal for weekend wear or to slide on over a crop top after a pilates class.
Some of our other favourite oversized outerwear styles include the PE Nation Baltoro hoodie in black and Nimble’s Stash and Go pullover in nightshade with a half zip, which is a design detail directly inspired by the fashion of the 1990s.
In addition to tight tanks and oversized jerseys, the 90s fashion pack couldn’t go past an oversized and androgynous cotton shirt, whether worn on its own or layered over a form fitting piece.
Drawing style cues from vintage silhouettes, Blanca’s shirts are ‘feminine, confident, nonchalant and relaxed,’ which makes their garments ideal for anyone trying to channel 90s model off duty vibes.
Whether you fall head over heels for the Blanca Fern Shirt in white and blue vertical pin stripe with elongated cuffs, or prefer the simplicity of Blanca’s Caroline Shirt in Sage, Blanca’s design team consistently delivers versatility with timeless design features that are well balanced and subtly stylish.
While the OG 90s supermodels preferred light wash jeans, like the Hammill & CO Button Detail Jeans in stonewash, to pair with their singlets, unisex shirts and rugby jerseys, contemporary off duty model style icons tend to prefer sportier looking bottoms, such as the The Upside’s Juliet Pants in navy. A low rise style with split hem detail, these slinky pants are a perfect match for a body con singlet, either with or without an oversized shirt thrown on top.
She may not have been a supermodel but Princess Diana certainly had as much sartorial clout as Moss and her buddies back in the 1990s, and the people’s princess was known to get around London in bike shorts styled with an androgynous jumper.
There’s certainly no shortage of bike shorts available online and in store at HyperLuxe North Beach, Karrinyup, Applecross and Dunsborough. From PE Nation to Leelo Active, Beyond Yoga, Kavala, Nimble and Lilybod, HyperLuxe is home to every bike short brand, length and colour imaginable.
The 90s supermodels may have preferred sky high heels as their footwear style of choice, but in 2023, most fashion girlies prefer to pair their model off duty ensembles with flat sandals or crisp white sneakers.
Here at HyperLuxe HQ we’re utterly obsessed with Veja’s Venturi Alveomesh sneakers, which are cute yet chunky, and made with recycled polyester.
When summer’s heat really sets in, leave the sneakers at home and let your feet breathe in a pair of Birkenstocks. Tracing their roots back to the 1970s, Birkenstock’s iconic Arizona sandals remained popular throughout the 90s and thirty years on and this super comfortable style remains a firm favourite amongst off duty models; whether they’re racing between shows during fashion week, or venturing out for lunch with friends.
To elevate your everyday ensembles to model off duty status, look no further than HyperLuxe’s array of athleisure infused brands for comfortable and versatile pieces that will last the tests of time. Visit us at any of our store locations, or shop online now.
]]>There is no doubt that Birkenstocks, with their unique and much-loved blend of comfort and style, have become a staple in the wardrobes of people from all walks of life. From the stylish streets of Paris to the sidewalks of suburban Perth, Birkenstocks are for everyone. However, as you stride through life in your favourite pair, they inevitably pick up the dust, stains, and odours of your adventures.
Fear not…in this ultimate guide, we will walk you through the art of cleaning Birkenstocks and their soles, ensuring that your beloved footwear remains as fresh and comfortable as the day you got them.
Before diving into the cleaning process, let's take a moment to appreciate the design elements that make Birkenstocks stand out. Known for their contoured footbeds, quality materials and honed craftsmanship, Birkenstocks do demand a bit of extra care to preserve their unique features. Before you begin, for the first five or six times you wear your new shoes, limit the time to just a few hours. This allows your feet and body to gradually get used to the contoured arch support as well as the straps and buckles.
Birkenstocks, like any quality footwear, benefit greatly from routine maintenance. Regular cleaning not only keeps them looking pristine but also contributes to their longevity. Think of it as a wellness routine for your shoes!
Start by assembling the necessary supplies: a soft brush, mild soap (mild dishwashing liquid or baby shampoo is perfect) and a damp cloth.
Give your Birkenstocks a good shake to get rid of loose dirt and debris. If you’ve chosen suede or nubuck Birkenstocks, brush off any dust or dirt to give yourself a nice blank canvas.
If you’ve chosen smooth leather, EVA or natural leather Birkenstocks, you can remove dust and dirt with a lint-free, slightly damp cloth.
Using a damp cloth dipped in warm soapy water, gently wipe the upper part of your Birkenstocks. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can work wonders. Make sure you do not submerge the uppers in water.
For tougher stains, use a soft brush in a circular motion with extra soap. Be gentle to avoid damaging the material.
Use a clean wet cloth and wash the sandals off with lukewarm water. Do not hold the sandals under running water and ensure that they do not become completely wet.
Once all the soap/lather has been removed, allow your Birkenstocks to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as they can damage or shrink the materials. Ideally let the sandals dry at room temperature in order to retain their moisture-absorbing qualities. Do not let the sandals dry in the sun or on or near a heater. Birkenstocks should be dried completely after 24 hours.
You can then brush the footbed with a leather brush and close the straps.
Start by scrubbing the soles with a brush and soapy water. This is particularly important for the crevices.
For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can be applied. Let it sit for a while before scrubbing. Then wash off with a damp cloth - Do not hold the sandals under running water and ensure that they do not become completely wet.
To keep your Birkenstocks smelling fresh, sprinkle baking soda inside them and let it sit overnight. In the morning brush out the baking soda before wearing them again.
Air dry only: Never use direct heat sources, like hair dryers, as they can warp the materials.
Proper storage: Keep your Birkenstocks in a cool, dry place when not in use, and avoid leaving them in damp conditions.
Before you start wearing your Birkenstocks, why not spray them with a colourless waterproofing spray, available at all good bootmakers or supermarkets (use sparingly and observe application instructions). Only spray the outside and cover the footbed with paper to create a protective barrier between your shoes and the elements. This will also help extend the life of your uppers, especially if you choose a suede finish.
When it’s finally time for a new pair, look no further than Hyperluxe for the latest and greatest range of Birkenstock styles in all four stores or online.
]]>The perfect blend of a figure-flattering retro silhouette with the comfortable fabrication we’ve come to expect of modern athleisure apparel, flared leggings are back in the spotlight thanks to a rising interest in iconic Y2K fashion styles.
Alongside low rise jeans, statement tops and butterfly hair clips, plus a refreshed enthusiasm for The Spice Girls, flared leggings are being welcomed back into wardrobes the world over, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about the Y2K fashion renaissance!
Flaring out from the knees, rather than being form fitting from top to bottom like a regular pair of leggings, the hourglass silhouette offered by flared leggings suits a range of different body types, which is bound to make them one of the most popular activewear trends for 2023.
While they have a very different silhouette to traditional leggings, flared leggings are just as versatile as the form fitting leggings we all know and love, and can be styled up just as easily, which makes them a must have wardrobe building block.
Whether styled with an oversized jumper or hoodie (like the HyperLuxe Logo Embroidered Hooded Sweatshirt in Grey Marle), or a body con top (such as the Leelo Active Sculpt Tee in Charcoal), flared leggings complement any (and every!) fit.
Available in tones ranging from charcoal grey to slate, espresso and black, Leelo Active’s Sculpt Flare Leggings are shaping up to be one of the most popular items instore and online at HyperLuxe this year, and there's a good reason why!
In addition to absolutely nailing the proportions of the flare silhouette, these buttery soft leggings boast a high tapered waistband that won’t roll down when you squat or jump, which makes them perfect for active adventures, whether that’s in the gym, at a pilates studio or out in nature.
Guaranteed to keep undesired camel toes at bay, thanks to a clever design that doesn’t incorporate a front seam, the Leelo Active Sculpt Flare Leggings are also ideal for lounging, running errands or even for wearing out and about after dark for dinner with friends.
Another of our favourite HyperLuxe brands that has embraced the flared legging silhouette is Nimble. Passionate about activewear that fuses sustainability with style, Nimble’s take on flared leggings hug your body in all the right places.
Executed in StudioLuxe - a beautiful blend of Nylon and Spandex, Nimble’s In Motion Flare Pant is soft, stretchy and breathable, which makes them supportive and sculpting.
Available in sizes XS to XL, the In Motion Flare Pant comes in a gorgeous Cloud colourway, a tone which exudes quiet luxury and understated elegance. Everyone who tries on Nimble’s In Motion Flare Pant raves about how chic and comfortable they are, so do yourself a favour and come slip into a pair today!
A common pain point for newcomers wanting to incorporate flared leggings into their wardrobe is not knowing which shoes to style with this on-trend silhouette. But there’s no need to overthink it; most footwear styles work well with flares.
For daytime wear, finesse your flared leggings fit with your favourite pair of chunky sneakers (we’re utterly obsessed with the Hoka W Bondi 8 Sneaker in pure white) or a classic pair of Birkenstocks, either with or without the HyperLuxe High Crew Sock.
Heading out to dinner with friends and want to remain comfortable as well as look chic? Transition your flare leggings from day to night with the help of a stylish crop and an oversized blazer or shirt.
Experts at designing activewear that doesn’t only belong at the gym, we love how Leelo Active’s Halter Neck Crop in black looks when styled with their Sculpt Flare Leggings, finished off with an oversized shirt such as the Blanca Knox Stripes Shirt in Blue or the Caroline Shirt in Sage.
The key to ensuring your flared leggings look evening appropriate is to accessorise. The addition of some chunky statement jewels, such as the Luv AJ Rosette Coil Charm Hoops in Gold or a stack of the Arms of Eve Amari bracelets, is a sure-fire way to seamlessly incorporate flares into your evening outfit rotation.
Keep the after dark vibes going from head to toe by applying your favourite red lipstick and ditching your sneakers or Birks in favour of strappy heels or the Nude Lucy Classic Leather Slide in black, bone or soot.
Still not confident about how to incorporate flared leggings into your day and night looks? Visit us in store at HyperLuxe Dunsborough, Applecross, North Beach or Karrinyup and we’ll be happy to help you find and style your perfect pair.
]]>In addition to the many and varied mental benefits of yoga, there are also countless physical benefits to this age-old form of movement.
The most obvious physical perk to regular yoga is increased flexibility and improved balance. As we age, flexibility and balance become increasingly important to maintaining a good quality of life, which makes taking up yoga all the more appealing.
You don’t have to be a master yogi to reap the benefits of better balance and flexibility either, even a beginner to the sport, who is yet to master more advanced flows and manoeuvres, will notice physical improvements when they commit to doing yoga at least twice a week.
Yoga is also recognised as helping enhance strength and endurance, which makes it a great add-on to the fitness regimes of professional athletes and recreational runners and swimmers.
While yoga may look easy to the untrained eye, holding poses for an extended period of time requires both strength and endurance, and is a great way to activate and strengthen your muscles without engaging in high impact exercise that can take a toll on your joints.
In recent years cardiologists have cottoned-on to the connection between yoga and good heart health, noting that in addition to helping reduce stress levels, which is great for your heart, regular yoga can also result in lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol.
As we head into winter, many of us are looking for ways to boost our immune systems, and according to a number of sources and studies, yoga can do just that. By lowering the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) that your body produces and by encouraging the circulation of oxygenated blood to all of your muscles, yoga helps to support healthy immune function, which gives you a better chance at beating off unwanted viruses and germs that you may be exposed to.
Whether you’re a long term yoga lover or have only recently discovered the mental and physical benefits of the sport, you’ll find everything you need to support your yoga practice online and instore at HyperLuxe.
From super soft yoga mats to Manduka yoga blocks and Blackroll foam rollers, which are fantastic to release muscle tension after a challenging flow, or to loosen up before starting one, we have all of the gadgets you could ever possibly need to support your yoga practice.
Home to an array of Australian activewear and athleisure apparel, we’re also a one stop shop for yoga gear ranging from crop tops to high waisted leggings. Boasting labels ranging from Beyond Yoga (who make super soft activewear for every size and shape), to Nimble, P.E Nation and Perth’s own Leelo Active, you’ll find your dream yoga ensemble in store at HyperLuxe.
Pick and mix tops and bottoms from your favourite Australian or international labels stocked at HyperLuxe for a one-of-a-kind look, or opt for a matching set from P.E Nation for a super stylish ensemble.
If hot yoga is your favourite, don’t underestimate the importance of remaining hydrated, both before and after class! Keep your H20 within arm’s reach and at the ideal temperature, no matter what the weather is doing, with a HyperLuxe x Frank Green reusable bottle. Available in colours including blush pink, neon pink, mint, black, buttermilk yellow or neon orange (plus many more!), the HyperLuxe x Frank Green bottles offer the ultimate reusable hydration experience.
If you’re keen to join the estimated 300 million people who already enjoy the physical and mental benefits of yoga, come visit us at HyperLuxe to discover international and Australian activewear, and all of the yoga accessories you could need, to get motivated to start.
]]>When life gets busy it’s all too easy to neglect a healthy morning routine in favour of extra time in bed, but it’s important to remember that the perks of waking early and taking time to start your day with your best foot forward far outweigh any benefits that come from staying in bed until the last possible minute.
Once you get out of the habit of hitting the snooze button when your alarm goes off, and create a morning routine that sets you up for a great day ahead, you’ll enjoy advantages ranging from increased productivity to improved sleep quality.
The hardest part of any journey is the first step, which is why we recommend taking things slowly when implementing a new morning routine. Instead of setting your alarm for an hour or two earlier than usual, which will come as a rude shock to your body and current sleep cycle, we suggest only getting up 30 minutes prior to your current wake time.
Consider the best use of that extra thirty minutes - whether that’s half an hour of meditation or a brisk walk or run to get the blood pumping.
If you’re not a morning person, it’s a great idea to incorporate an enjoyable self care activity into your morning routine so that you look forward to starting the day. For us, this means making time to create a delicious smoothie that’s packed to the brim with vitamins and nutrients.
For a smoothie that’s bursting with benefits, WelleCo’s The Super Elixir all-in-one greens powder is a must-have ingredient. Loaded with green tea, acai berries, papaya, dandelion and L-Glutamine, a heaped scoop of The Super Elixir in your morning smoothie will result in enhanced energy, improved digestion and less bloating.
If the original formula of WelleCo’s The Super Elixir isn’t to your liking, you may prefer their Blood Orange or Lemon and Ginger varieties.
Alternatively, WelleCo’s plant based Nourishing Protein Powder comes in delicious chocolate and vanilla flavours, and boasts nine essential amino acids to help balance blood sugar and promote lean, strong muscle.
While your breakfast smoothie is in the blender, take a moment to rehydrate with a tall glass of water. Dehydration is closely linked to poor mental performance, so it’s super important to start the day with a big glass of H20.
On cold winter mornings it can be difficult to motivate yourself to change out of your comfy pyjamas and head out into the brisk morning air, but having stylish, comfortable and cosy Australian activewear on hand will help.
Home to Australian activewear from a curated collection of labels ranging from P.E Nation to Nimble (plus many more!), HyperLuxe is a one stop shop for chic athleisure ensembles guaranteed to put the pep into your step on sluggish mornings.
If you’re only going to invest in one new garment to assist with your transition to a healthy morning routine, go for a puffer jacket. The closest you can come to wearing a doona out of the house without raising eyebrows, a puffer jacket will keep the cold at bay on even the chilliest of mornings.
From The North Face to P.E Nation and Nude Lucy, HyperLuxe stocks an array of puffer jackets in a variety of colours and lengths. Find your perfect puffer online or in store today at HyperLuxe.
The final piece of the puzzle when it comes to adopting a healthy morning routine is figuring out which type of movement feels best to your body. It’s normal to feel a bit sluggish when adjusting to a new morning routine, but making an effort to get the blood pumping to your heart and lungs first thing will help your body adjust and will set you up for a good day ahead.
If you wake up feeling stiff and sore most mornings, yoga or pilates is a great way to loosen up your muscles, and it can be done from the comfort of your home. In addition to waking up your muscles, a morning yoga or pilates session provides a great opportunity to focus on your breath to help centre your mind for the day ahead.
Craving a high heart rate? Take up running or try to get along to a group exercise class. Find a running route that you love, or an exercise class that melds fun with fitness, to make it that much easier to get up and moving each morning.
Whether you’re craving mental clarity or just want to feel better in your body, there are so many benefits to a healthy morning routine. Make a positive change to your morning routine today for a better tomorrow. Your mind and body will thank you!
]]>Reformer pilates occasionally gets a bad wrap for being perceived as a lazy exercise option but anyone who has stretched, clenched and flexed their way through an entire reformer pilates class can confidently debunk that myth.
Sure, reformer pilates is largely done while lying on your back, which certainly makes it extra appealing to those of us who don’t enjoy high impact exercises, but when done correctly, reformer pilates provides a challenging all body workout that activates muscles you probably didn’t know existed.
A fantastic option for anyone looking to build muscle strength without putting undue strain on their joints, reformer pilates was initially devised in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates while he worked as a nurse during WWI.
Keen to expedite soldiers’ recoveries during extended hospital stays, Joseph attached springs to patients’ beds to enable them to remain active and stretch out fatigued muscles while on prolonged bed rest. Following WWI, the flexible entrepreneur developed the first dedicated pilates reformer with a moving carriage, and the rest is history.
A century after its inception, reformer pilates is loved by millions of people of all ages across the globe - from young folk who appreciate a full body workout that tones muscles and increases strength, to the young at heart who may be recovering from an injury or seeking to preserve their mobility, balance and flexibility, while decreasing their risk of falls.
The benefits of reformer pilates are numerous, which is one of the main reasons behind its popularity. Loved by athletes, celebrities and civilians alike, reformer pilates improves muscle strength and posture, increases flexibility and can help reduce back pain by strengthening and stabilising the muscles that support your spine.
Before joining a reformer pilates group class, many physiotherapists and instructors recommend doing a couple of guided one-on-one sessions first to become acquainted with the anatomy of a pilates reformer and to learn important principles such as how to activate your pelvic floor and when to inhale/exhale while on the reformer.
These one-on-one sessions are particularly important for anyone with an injury or ongoing health concern so that your instructor can develop a rehabilitation plan that will challenge you without flaring up existing injuries.
No matter your fitness level, your instructor will likely start you off on a series of basic movements that are important to master before moving on to more advanced poses and positions. While they may look simple, it’s vital to learn how to do these movements properly to ensure you’re activating the correct muscles.
If you’re fighting fit and keen to tone your abs, glutes, arms and legs, your go-to reformer pilates studio will likely clear you to join a group class from the get-go.
The great thing about reformer pilates is that it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be.
If you’re simply after a good stretch, you can spend an hour doing gentle movements, whereas if you’re keen to break a sweat, there are plenty of very challenging exercises to try out on a reformer.
Your instructor will help you choose the correct combination of springs, which add resistance, depending on your fitness level. The ability to customise springs for your fitness and strength level is fantastic as it ensures you don’t go too hard, too quickly, and end up with an injury or strain.
While some reformer pilates moves only activate a couple of key muscles, more advanced exercises, such as The Boomerang, require input from muscles located all over your body. Definitely not a move to try during your first reformer pilates session!
While reformer pilates exercises add resistance via the use of springs, mat pilates exercises utilise your own body weight as resistance. Many reformer and mat pilates exercises look very similar, but the addition of the reformer can make exercises significantly more challenging.
Considering how much bending and stretching is involved in reformer pilates, you’ll want to wear a comfortable outfit that isn’t going to roll down or ride up, as well as a pair of grippy socks, like the Move Active Unisex Crew Non Slip Grip Socks, to help stop your feet from slip sliding around on the equipment.
Non slip socks are particularly important to maintain your balance and sure footedness for exercises that require you to stand on the reformer. Many reformer pilates studios won’t let you step foot near their reformers without appropriate grippy socks so you absolutely must invest in a pair before your first class or one-on-one session.
When it comes to clothing, form fitting styles such as leggings, bike shorts, crop tops and figure hugging tees that move with you are recommended over oversize styles that may get in the way as you glide your hands and feet up to the ceiling while reclined on a reformer.
From Nimble to Leelo Active, Vie Active and P.E Nation, HyperLuxe offers one of the widest array of outfits suited to be worn for reformer pilates. Visit us in store or online to find the perfect set for your next class or one-on-one session.
]]>Women want to feel secure, supported and confident in their bathers - it’s what they look for when shopping for women's swimwear in Australia.
Shopping for a flattering bikini - that is the correct fit for your body shape - can be a daunting exercise at best, but hopefully, with our guide, you will be armed with the knowledge and expertise to leave the stress on the change room floor and easily find the perfect fit that not only looks good, but feels good too. We’ve pulled together a list of the cutest swimwear styles and flattering bikinis suited to each body shape.
It’s super easy to determine what your body shape is, and this will help you to find what looks and fits YOU best within moments of reaching for the swimwear rack at the shops.
Your body shape is based on the relationship between three points on your body:
When looking at yourself straight on in the mirror, imagine drawing a line down from your shoulders to your hips and make a mental note of where that line hits. Depending on where the widest part of your body is (bust, waist or hips), this will determine what ‘shape’ your body is.
It’s worth noting all body shapes and sizes are beautiful - there are no wrong answers here! - and this guide only exists to help you find the best fitting swimwear for your body shape.
The pear body shape is characterised by hips that are wider than the bust and shoulders, creating a silhouette that looks like a pear.
Pear shaped women should be on the lookout for high-cut bikini swimwear bottoms that elongate the figure.
For HyperLuxe customers, we recommend the Scene Brief by Australian swimwear brand Bond Eye. These amazing briefs come in one size fits most, ranging from XS to L, with adjustable coverage and adjustable leg, allowing you to choose whether you wear them low or high on the hip.
We also recommend pairing a plain bottom with a fun patterned bikini top with a pop of colour, such as the Ephemera Blush Gingham Classic Bra, that will emphasise your bust and add that sense of balance to your curvaceous figure.
Women with an apple body shape have narrow hips and shoulders with fuller busts and midriffs.
For this shape, we recommend choosing a well-fitted halter bikini top that will lift and support the bust, and pairing it with high waisted flattering bikini bottoms that end above the bull button that will elongate the legs and flatten the tummy.
Perfect for this is It’s Now Cool X Elle Ferguson contour swimwear, designed to sculpt and smooth in all the right places, while being both flattering and functional.
The hourglass shape is balanced yet curvy with a full bust, rounded hips and a nipped in waist.
For this shape, the classic bra-style top is the most flattering bikini style and will offer the most support.
For a taller hourglass figure, we would also recommend high-waisted bikini bottoms that elongate the legs and give you that ‘legs for days’ look. Check out the Bondi Born Tatiana Bikini Bottom - paired with a sweetheart neckline it’s the most flattering look for hourglass figures.
The athletic shape - A.K.A. ‘straight up and down’ - is the easiest to balance. With little difference between the width of your shoulders, bust and hips, all you need is a pop of colour or a few cut outs to emphasise your shape.
For those with the athletic shape, we recommend playing with bold prints such as the Lahana Swim Missy Bikini Bottom in Wave Pink, or enhancing your curves with a one piece with flattering cut outs. Check out the Bondi Born Colette One Piece and its too-die-for back cutout. LOVE.
The carrot body shape has long legs, narrow hips, a fuller bust and broader shoulders.
For customers with this body shape, we suggest trying a bikini with horizontal stripes that widen the hips and balance out the shoulders. We also recommend creating a mix and match look with bold colours and patterns on the bottom to create that desired balanced look.
Check out the figure-hugging Bond Eye Savannah Brief Eco in Jade. Not only is it made of sustainable materials, but it’s also the most beautiful colour!
We can help you find the perfect swimwear for your body shape.

]]>When you are shopping for the best workout leggings for your chosen exercise, keep in mind that the pair you choose should be comfortable, breathable, moisture-wicking and durable. You should feel as though they fit well and stay in place, all the while looking good (obviously).
You are also going to want to choose leggings that are specifically designed for the activity you are buying them for. For example, you wouldn’t buy yoga leggings for high intensity workouts like running or cycling or weight bearing exercises.
For low-impact activities such as yoga or pilates, you’re going to want a legging with soft fabric that looks matte. Runners should look for women’s activewear made with a smooth, shiny fabric to reduce chafing.
For weight bearing exercises in the gym, we recommend looking for synthetic performance fibres such as nylon and polyester, as they’re moisture-wicking, durable and have more stretch. We also recommend practising a ‘squat test’ in the changeroom to check the leggings are squat proof.
A squat test is something we do EVERY time at HyperLuxe. It’s as easy as it sounds - simply pull on your leggings, grab a mirror and squat! If you can see your underwear through the stretched fabric, these leggings are not suitable for squatting, and we’ve just saved you from future embarrassment in the gym. You’re welcome.
So now we know what makes a pair of leggings suitable, and we’re armed with the squat test, let’s get shopping!
Beyond Yoga is the go-to for yoga apparel. Their best-selling High Waisted Midi Leggings are built to last and made with their buttery soft, high quality performance fabric Beyond Yoga. These amazing leggings sport Beyond Yoga’s signature 5” waistband that sits at the natural waist, have no outside seams, and are available in four colour options; Rainforest Blue Heather, Pewter Heather, Silver Mist, and Chocolate Chip Espresso. If you’re after something essentially the same but with pockets, the Beyond Yoga Out of Pocket High Waisted Midi Legging is your go-to with that same buttery soft feel and ultra soft band.
Available in black and navy, Nimble’s Extend Legging allows you to extend to your full potential on and off the reformer. An incredible feat in women’s gymwear in Australia, the Extend Legging has a contouring seam detailing that hugs your bum and legs for that natural lift effect, and is made of a soft, breathable, sweat-wicking nylon and spandex blend that gives you extra stretch and mobility.
I mean…. who would we be if we didn’t include P.E. Nation? The Wondergoal Leggings are made with a shiny recycled nylon/elastane and feature a comfy elasticized waistband and pull on style. Perfect for those wearing them for runs! We’re not saying the super chic colour block panels make you go faster, but we’re also NOT not saying that either ;)
All hail Nude Lucy tights! Made in a recycled performance fabrication with a matte, velvety finish crafted from recycled nylon and 25% lycra, Nude Lucy Active ⅞ Tights are perfect for yoga. These incredible leggings are just one of the reasons we LOVE women’s gym wear in Australia.

You’re welcome.
Made from a brand new recycled sculpting fabric, the Lilybod Nile Legging is good for you and for the planet! These sustainable leggings feature a high-waisted, full length design, with a super sneaky intern pocket to hold your phone.
Nimble’s One More Rep Tights were made for our list of the best workout leggings. These amazing ultra soft and lightweight leggings feel like a second skin, whether you’re running, jumping, stretching, squatting! They are moisture wicking, stretchy and made from old recycled plastic bottles.
Hellooo beautiful! Made in Lilybod’s signature sculpting fabric, these amazing leggings are high-waisted high-waisted, full length, and have a hidden pocket perfect for keys when you head to the gym or to catch up for coffee with the girls. We just love the pop of colour!
Last, but certainly not least, yogis will absolutely love 4TH Sport’s iconic Maddox Leggings. Made with an organic cotton blend, these super soft ribbed seamless leggings are ideal for low-impact sports. Pair them with the Maddox Top for the ultimate co-ord.

]]>Despite the fact that activewear is having a major moment, there are very few brands producing sustainable, ethical, and environmentally conscious products. Curbing our fast fashion buying tendencies in favour of lasting and durable options can do wonders for the environment and your bank statement in the long run.
With this in mind, HyperLuxe has introduced a new ‘Sustainable Edit’ to our online shop that features brands such as P.E Nation, Nimble, Veja, Dharma Bums, Mother SPF and Nat’v Basics that are doing right by mother nature and have designed the chicest environmentally friendly activewear, sneakers, sports bras, bathers, sunscreen and undies.
What makes these products sustainable you ask? It's all about the materials they are made from and the process behind sourcing those materials and turning them into the fashionable threads we all love chucking on for a coastal walk.
Nimble’s products are made from post-consumer used recycled plastics, and P.E Nation’s ‘Conscious Nation’ collection utilises sustainable and recycled fabric. Nat’v Basics’ underwear is 80% biodegradable and fashioned from renewable wood sources, whereas Dharma Bums’ ethical activewear is made with materials that have been tested for harmful substances in environmentally friendly facilities.
Mother SPF30’s sunscreen consists of just 9 sustainably sourced and certified organic ingredients, and Veja sneakers are made with raw materials from organic and agro-ecological farming, without chemicals or polluting processes.
Some of our eco-conscious favourites include:
Nimble’s Zoom Bike Short in Polka White buttery soft and lightweight, fashioned out of recycled PET and spandex.
P.E Nation’s Set Short Sports Bra in Black made from recycled matte compressive performance fabrication and perfectly designed for spin class and the coffee-date that follows, as well as being equipped with digital leopard print lining for added fierceness.
If you’re rocking a sustainable sports bra you may as well slip on some undies to match. Nat’v Basics’ Callie Bikini Brief boasts enhanced breathability, eco soft technology and a minimal footprint on both carbon and water resources.
The Dharma Bums Deluxe Relaxed White Tee made from Pima Cotton Yarn and plant-based fibres means that this classic garment is not only sustainable, but irresistibly soft and comfortable. Ideal to chuck on over your Nimble bike shorts or even some jeans if you want to dress it up.
A vital product that must be included in everyone’s skin care routine, especially being located in sunny Australia, is sunscreen! Mother SPF30’s Non-Tinted Daily Face & Body Sunscreen is created to nourish, hydrate and protect the skin on a daily basis. The main ingredient, Zinc Oxide, providing anti-inflammatory properties and nutrient rich minerals that are Reef Friendly and photostable (AKA doesn’t break down in sunlight).
And last but not least Veja’s V-10 Bastille Sneaker in White/Natural assembled out of ecological and sustainable materials that complete any stylish athleisure look.
If it’s good for you and the planet, it’s a win-win in our books! All the products mentioned above and more from these brands are available via the ‘Sustainable Edit’ tab on the HyperLuxe website! Go on, get to work on making the world a better place!

Made from old recycled plastic bottles, they not only feel great to wear but they are helping keep our earth healthy too.
We know you’re all loving the Ragdoll LA Joggers so we got them in navy… comfort, but make it fashion! These joggers are a relaxed fit with stretch hems. Keep cozy around the house or style with some kicks, printed tee and a leather jacket to lift your look!
Best selling brand Beyond Yoga is back with another winner! Beyond Yoga Raglan Crew Pullover in Stone Gray Snake will transition from your yoga or pilates workout to brunch to a dinner date! Style with jeans and sneakers for a casual day look or dress up with pants and heeled boots for a night out. We love the elegant higher neck but it also works to keep the chest warm on those colder days and nights.
Love Kate Beanie with the cutest pom pom on top! Made from 100% pure wool with a jumbo cable stitch look, these beauties are perfect for winter! We also love that the pom pom is detachable so you can serve two looks plus wash the beanie without ruining the pom pom fluff!
Flotte Raincoats, are a must! Our fave colour at the moment is Tomate, a bold orange based red! This anorak literally transforms from a bag into a waterproof jacket #wintergoals! It’s ultra light and comes in five different colours.
Whether it’s our local Australian activewear favourites or some international must-have pieces, keep cozy and shop our all our new arrivals here!
]]>We’ve been noticing 90s nostalgia in a lot of styling recently and we aren’t mad about it! In fact, in the new world order we find ourselves opting for slightly elevated knock-about-the-house outfits almost everyday. We’re coining the look “comfy sporty 90’s chic”!
Deny it all you want but we know everybody loves a bit of the Spice Girls and who better to inspire our 90s style session! ‘If you wanna be’ looking cute in some of our favourite new HyperLuxe activewear arrivals, here are our top Spice Girls style tips.
ANIMAL PRINT (AKA Scary Spice)
Scary Spice was bold and fearless in her style... she made bright colours and daring prints iconic and for that, we thank her!
We are obsessed with our new Ragdoll LA Oversized Sweatshirt in brown leopard - daring without the scary!
If this is too bold (but trust us, it’s not - it’s fierce!) you can add a more subtle print to your look with our Hi Ho Silver changeable bag straps. We’re crushing on the Animal Blush print!
NAVY COLOUR POP (AKA Ginger Spice)
We just have to give a nod to Ginger’s Union Jack dress from their 1997 Brit Awards performance… I-CON-IC!
The Upside Midi Pant Indigo Ombre are high waist, super soft, quick drying and breathable… just what we want from our leggings! And we are just obsessed with the navy to green ombre!
Our new-in navy Hi Ho Silver comes with the blue/pink/red/white adjustable bag strap and it is totally channeling Ginger’s Union Jack dress! The cross body bumbag will slim down your upper body by adding angles across the bust. We love to style these with our casual activewear looks to spice up our lives!
MATCHING TRACKSUITS (AKA Sporty Spice)
Okay this one is all in the name… Sporty Spice was serving us matching tracksuits well before 2020 and we are so happy she did!
Pair our new Ragdoll LA jogger in light green with a casual tee, cropped jumper and our best selling New Balance 990v5 sneakers to deliver your own brand of zig-a-zig-ah.
Our North Beach girl, Evelyn, rocks the matching light green Ragdoll LA oversized sweatshirt and jogger. She’s styled it with our chunky Veja Venturi Sneaker and Hi Ho Silver Leather Bumbag - loving it!
SMALL GLASSES (AKA Posh Spice)
Before there was Kendall, Bella and Gigi there was Posh Spice with her petite sunglasses.
Add our Lu Goldie sunglasses in Solene Choc Tort or Ochre Lane Emery Sunglasses to ‘spice’ up any look.
DAD TRAINERS (AKA Sporty Spice)
If you would have told us three years ago that we would be wearing dad trainers we would have laughed in your face… yet, here we are wearing dad trainers with big bulky dad sport socks AND happy about it!
Our best selling New Balance 990v5 sneakers will achieve the chunky, dad trainer look but make it cool!
Our Veja Venturi sneaker also fits the brief of a chunky, 90s dad trainer! A super cute beige colouring to style with jeans or your activewear.
PASTELS (AKA Baby Spice)
Nobody puts Baby in a corner and certainly not one dressed in pastels! Get comfy in our Emu Australia Mayberry Slipper in baby pink.
It’s getting cold quick… our new-in Huffer Superdown Jacket is warm AND cute pastel pink! It’s ticking all of our boxes.
We can’t wait to see these looks on you! Don’t forget to tag us in any of your selfies @hyperluxeactivewear.
The athleisure trend isn’t disappearing anytime soon… so if you’re dying to dip your toes into the world of athleisure but aren’t quite sure of where to begin; why not start with our top five Australian activewear brands!

With regular limited collections dropping in stores and online, they are always a huge hit! Their use of bold block colours and pattern splicing make their garments stylish but still functional!

The panelled design allows the leggings to better contour to the body, providing an excellent fit and greater core support- Add in the signature graphic white Jaggad logo and there you have it, practical and stylish all at the same time!
Our favourite designer duo Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning are the brains behind P.E Nation’s functional, fashion forward designs. Their flattering cuts and epic use of colour set them apart from all the other Australian activewear brands out there. Try pairing our 100% cotton HyperLuxe x P.E Nation EXCLUSIVE long sleeve tee with the P.E Nation Passing Fast legging… these leggings are flying out the door right now, their high-rise waistband and lightweight fabrication will be sure to give you the ultimate fit and support!

Their long sleeve tees have become a go to piece for us on our morning runs, the lightweight material and handy thumb hole feature make them the ideal top for those that like to fuse simplicity, comfort and practicality.
Creating some of the best ever leggings in #teamHyperLuxe’s eyes; Lilybod works to offer a wide range of leggings, crops, spray jackets and tees in an array of different colours- black, olive, cobalt blue… they have it all. Best known for their leggings, Lilybod’s iconic line work which features on the majority of their designs really sets them apart from the pack.

]]>One of our all time fave healthy recipes is Jenny’s famous Chilli Con Carne... and the best part is - it uses mainly pantry staples! Plus, it’s so easy to make and you can freeze it in batches. Check out the recipe below:

“I also love to roast or stir fry a generous portion of green vegetables and toast wholegrain tortillas which we slice up to corn chip size to have alongside the dish,” says Jenny.
Happy cooking and let us know if you try this dish at home!
]]>We love mixing up our workouts by adding in a pilates class here and there and of course getting some mat work in at home! So we thought we’d let you know some of our favourite activewear tops, leggings and accessory pieces that we love to wear whilst doing Pilates, that you might just love too!
Okay, this may be an obvious one but arguably the most important… the Pilates Lab Grip Socks are a must!
We are obsessed with matching sets at the moment so look no further than NEW pieces by Alo Yoga, an uber-popular US brand that is making waves among Australian activewear connoisseurs. We’re crushing on the Alosoft Lavish Bra and High Waist 7/8 Lounge Legging in Zinc Heather!
The Alosoft Lavish Bra comes in Alo Yoga’s signature Alosoft fabric with moisture-wicking properties which lets it breathe, plus a four-way stretch for pieces that effortlessly move with your body. The Lavish Bra has medium support and they’ve also added a ribbed chest band that sits snug for support but also comfort - a must-have activewear top!
The Alo Yoga 7/8 leggings have all the same benefits - seriously soft fabric… tick! four-way stretch… tick! Moisture-wicking properties… tick! We also love that all Alo Yoga activewear is tested by their staff in house, suitable for reformer and mat pilates AND environmentally friendly… quadruple tick!
Need something with a little more all-round support? We definitely recommend the Nimble Ready For Action Bra! This sports bra has a higher neckline and wide back straps which we love! Made from recycled PET/Spandex, it’s super soft and lightweight for that second-skin sensation. Be it reformer or mat, this will keep you feeling secure and supported during your workout.
Hydrate in style! We love S’Well bottles for all our active and everyday life pursuits.
S'well bottles are triple-layered with a vacuum-insulated construction, designed to keep beverages cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to 12! Made from high-grade stainless steel with a condensation-free exterior so not to drip on to your hands, on your floor, or in your bag on the way to class. These guys are also BPA free and reusable - yay for working to help our environment!
What’s an Australian activewear wardrobe without a piece of PE NATION. We find ourselves reaching for our PE Nation Shuffle Tanks for pilates classes because of their higher crew neckline, relaxed fit and lower cut armholes for increased movement and added ventilation. These tanks are made from lightweight single jersey fabric for ultimate breathability during your pilates flow!
For an added bonus, the Shuffle Tanks can be paired back with shorts or jeans for an everyday active look! One of our fave activewear tops!
Our last pilates must-have is the Kavala Full Length Legging. Kavala listened to the feedback and made their most popular legging fit in all black! We hear you, we hear you… “I have 100 black leggings already” BUT we think these Kavala Onyx leggings are perfect for pilates. Super high-waisted, hugging you in all the right places to give the slimmest fit, these leggings are breathable, no-sweat, quick-dry and oh so soft!
A perfect all-rounder for all types of mat work and pilates-based movement!
Shop all of these perfect pilates pieces and more in store and online now!
]]>The Area 7/8 Leggings are an update to Jaggad’s ever-popular high-waisted legging design. The navy base colour of the leggings is finished with grey vertical pinstripes and white and pink pinstripes creating a flattering contour effect at the thigh and calves - win!
As with most of Jaggad Australia’s leggings, these ones are made with moisture-wicking properties which basically means these leggings are your ideal seasonal workout partner! While they may look amazing, they are also so practical… the high waistband is (not only flattering) but also provides supreme comfort during exercise. We would recommend these for all of your active pursuits - walking, running, gym and pilates! These leggings also have a larger back pocket with zip to hold your phone while running or that loose change for your post-workout coffee!
Okay so on to the next Jaggad activewear piece we adore… the Fairmont Ridge Knit Sweater as worn by Madi!
This one is giving us major retro vibes! The two-tone black and mint knit has a bold black chest stripe with the Jaggad activewear logo. This one is an oversized fit with slightly dropped shoulders which is literally the mood all winter - Rug. Us. Up! Perfect for layering on your morning walk or on the way to the gym OR style with other pieces in your wardrobe to hit that sports luxe look!
We know it’s a little premature, but the wind is feeling a little cooler, the mornings are feeling much less balmy and before you know it you’ll be wondering where your Core Long Sleeve Run Top is!
This is a must-have for your work out wardrobe. It’s made from mid-weight polyamide/elastane stretch jersey so the top moves with you as you work out. Jaggad Australia has used moisture-wicking properties for this piece too...so yes….it BREATHES! Oh, and did we mention these also have extended cuffs with integrated thumb loops? Smart (to keep your hands warm) and stylish AF! Like we said… perfect for those cooler mornings and evenings that are fast approaching.
It’s 2020 and we know that styling your workout wardrobe with your everyday wardrobe is very much a thing and it’s also a practical way to get your bang for buck from your purchases! Luckily, Jaggad Australia is making this easy for us all!
We are paring back the Fairmont Ridge Knit Sweater with the HyperLuxe Black Slip Skirt and some Superga. Accessories? Always! Style with the new Hunter X Hunter Pia Chain Necklace and Hunter X Hunter Ava Hoops and BAM!… Looking the goods!
We are also loving the look of sets at the moment! Pair the Jaggad Space Dye Track Pants and Space Dye Sweater together with some fresh kicks like our Veja Sneakers and a New Era Cap make the perfect normcore weekend look.
Shop the entire Jaggad activewear collection in store and online NOW!]]>
If you’re not impressed yet, did you know Superga shoes are produced with vulcanised rubber soles? The vulcanization process makes the rubber soles of the Superga shoes more durable by creating links between the rubber’s polymer chains. This also allows the soles to be lightweight, have better grip and prevents the sole from weakening when wet.
Superga has been around for over 100 years, originally starting in 1911 they began to produce in Italy, shortly closing during the war they reopened with a mission in mind, to produce high quality footwear. The Classic Superga 2750 heritage style was their first comeback ‘baby’ and since then Superga shoes have branched out their product line with technical sports shoes, rubber rain boots and almost never ending variations to their classic Superga sneaker design.
Over the years we have been thrilled to admire and also stock Superga’s collaborations with some of the world's top names; and if you haven't bought a pair from our very own exclusive Superga x Hyperluxe collection yet…. Then what are you waiting for!
See our guide of the most popular Superga shoes available both online and instore!

4. Superga 1908 Leahorse Slides - Zebra
There's nothing subtle here, the zebra pattern will elevate your shoe game tenfold. We suggest pairing them with a cool co-ord look to really let these shoes shine!
5. Superga X Hyperluxe Exclusive 2843 Clubs Comfleasueu Sneaker - White/Black
Our exclusive collaboration with Superga shoes allowed us to combine everything we love into one shoe, a simple sporty design that can take you from studio to street; a pop of colour and a bit of glitz because lets face it, who doesn't love gold laces!

The Superga X P.E Nation collaboration was one of our favourites and we’re sure you can see why. Mixing the classic and comfortable design we know Superga shoes to be with P.E Nation’s edgy fashion styling, make these an all time must have.

Besides an almond milk iced latte and acai bowl first thing in the morning, our favourite way to start summer days is with a dip in the ocean.
We’re so lucky to be surrounded by some of the best coastline in the world, so we figure the least we can do is go out of our way to enjoy it as much as possible!
Once you’re dressed to impress in your favourite Kavala Collective bike shorts (our latest obsession), be sure to lather up with We Are Feel Good Sunscreen. Best applied 20 minutes before sun exposure, We Are Feel Good’s SPF 50+ Signature Sunscreen Lotion will protect your skin both in and out of the surf.
Suitable for your face and body, and water-resistant for up to four hours, We Are Feel Good is bound to become your summer sun protection go-to.
While you’re in the water do your best Thorpedo impression with several laps up and down the beach to get your heartrate up. Thirty minutes should do the trick... But if half an hour of continuous swimming isn’t your idea of a good time, we suggest experimenting with intervals. Go hard and fast for three to five minutes then float for one minute. Feel the burn then enjoy the cool water lapping against your skin.
Not in a rush to head home after your swim? Beach yoga is a great way to reset the body and mind.
Before you know it you’ll be feeling flexible and strong, and, thanks to quick-dry technology, your Dock & Bay towel will be dry and ready to chuck into your gym bag.
When we’re not exercising on the beach, we’re usually working out nearby, either with scenic walks or runs along the coast. Whether walking or running, all of our favourite go-to activewear outfits feature at least one or two items from Jaggad clothing latest range.
However you choose to keep fit this summer, you’ll find everything you need to complement your workout - from sun protection to activewear, at HyperLuxe.
“Team HyperLuxe love P.E Nation for its flexibility, functionality and wearability. We constantly wear P.E tanks, tees and sweaters back with our own silky slip skirts, denim and leather pieces for the ultimate sportsluxe look.”
While Madi and the HyperLuxe crew have adored all of P.E Nation’s collections to date, it’s safe to say the label’s latest look has created a whole new level of buzz at HyperLuxe HQ.
A long sleeve design in crisp black with a blush pink logo, crafted from 100% organic cotton; the Heads Up top is an instant style classic.
“We were so excited to collaborate with P.E Nation on the Heads Up top and we couldn't be happier with how it has turned out,” Madi said of the design, which is available exclusively at HyperLuxe.
The fabric is baby soft, the cut is super flattering and we just know our customers will be rocking this piece all year round.
“We have always sold long sleeve tee shirts really well in our stores as they are perfectly suited to our climate. We knew a simple, well cut version with a P.E Nation twist was just what we were missing; so we asked and (thanks to the team at P.E Nation) we received!”
Now available instore at HyperLuxe North Beach, Applecross and Dunsborough, and online at hyperluxeactivewear.com.au, alongside a restock of core P.E Nation pieces and the label’s latest drop, the Heads Up top is a must-have for life in and outside of the gym.
Wear it with the form fitting Air Ball Hot shorts in black or The Double Drive shorts in pink for a morning workout followed by brunch, or style it up for a night out with pals by teaming it with jeans and a P.E Nation jacket.
As we mentally prepare for summer to transition to autumn (it will take us a few months to come to terms with the end of the warm weather!), it’s reassuring knowing that we can turn to P.E Nation jackets to keep us warm while looking cool.
We love the Heads Up top underneath both the Full Court jacket and the Ramp Run Puffer Jacket for an effortlessly stylish ensemble.
Whether you dress it up or take a more casual styling approach, this HyperLuxe exclusive is a must have for every P.E Nation devotee!

Give yourself permission to wear them both to the gym and as an everyday piece; paired back with kicks, a printed tee and a lightweight blazer.

Pro tip: We like to use frozen fruit as it makes the smoothie nice and thick!
We are all guilty of this… I mean come on, black is just the easiest to wear (and slimming)! But as the days warm up and the sun starts to shine a bit more, why not add a bit of colour?
Jaggad and Alo Yoga have just dropped some super cute pastel pieces that we are pairing with our black leggings or blue jeans and Supergas to brighten up our look.
Like clockwork, we all tend to slack off a bit when it comes to exercising during winter. It’s raining, it’s cold, it’s dark, it’s not fun… but as summer approaches, why not kick start your fitness by trying something new! We find it helps us get moving if we mix up our normal routine and recruit a friend to join us.
Have you ever tried pilates, group fitness or running?
Running can be a farfetched concept to some but we stumbled across the ‘Couch to 10k Runner’ app which has interval style training to literally take you from a walker to a runner in no time. Chuck on your fave runners, make a fun playlist, press start and you’re off.
If you know running will never be your thing, there are SO MANY pilates and group fitness studios across Perth so it won’t be hard to find one near you.
Some group fitness studios that we constantly get told about are, of course, our guys at Boom Fitness in East Fremantle and Scarborough, Renouf Fitness South Perth, S30 Perth CBD, Bike Bar in Claremont and Eat the Burn Group Fitness & PT in Forrestdale.
Pilates studios we love are Reformed Pilates Co Perth in Applecross, Core Focus Pilates in Subiaco and Dalkeith and The Pilates Lab Perth in Scarborough.

If you want to stay on top of your training, or just work off that extra cheese and wine… look no further than The Movement Fitness.
Located in Dunsborough, this functional training centre is community-based and focused on getting you moving with expert guidance, no matter what your fitness level is.
Whether you’re a beginner or an athlete, the coaches will assist you through the classes to ensure you are achieving your personal best in a supportive environment.
So make sure to throw your Lilybod leggings when packing for your next escape...and put them to the test instead of just wearing them on the morning coffee run!
Dunsborough is the perfect place to head with some girlfriends for some downtime...and what better way to do that then unwind with a yoga session.
Centre yourself and get some namaste in your life whilst practising yoga at either a drop-in session or book in advance for an active yoga retreat at Yoga South West!
