Activewear should be functional. Seems like a given, right? We sure think so. And yet as the line between fitness and fashion are becoming more and more blurry, sometimes the more street-stylish pieces don’t quite hold up when we break a sweat.

Tyler Haney, founder of Outdoor Voices, feels the same way. At just 26, Tyler’s moving the needle on the fitnesswear revolution by creating apparel meant for recreation. Her relaxed vibe embodies OV’s philosophy that you can love being active without being defined by it.
