Shop Matching Activewear Sets
Why the Sempre Collection Matches Without Trying
Most activewear brands build matching sets by applying the same print or colorway to different fabric constructions. Bellissima takes a different approach. The Sempre Leggings, Sempre Shorts, Sempre Twist Bra, and Sempre Halter Bra are all cut from the same 92% TENCEL Lyocell and 8% spandex blend. The fabric drape, sheen, and surface texture are identical across every piece because every piece is the same fabric. That is why any combination from the collection reads as intentional. The high-waisted V-shaped back waistband appears on both the leggings and the shorts, creating a consistent silhouette detail whether the set is paired as leggings and bra or shorts and bra. The collection launches in black, which means every piece works with every other piece by default.
Fit and Function Across Studio Activities
Bellissima's matching activewear sets are built for yoga, pilates, barre, reformer, and low-impact training. The fabric provides full opacity and a smooth, non-see-through surface in all positions including forward folds, downward dog, and deep squats. The diamond crotch gusset on leggings and shorts eliminates the central seam at the point of highest contact during floor-based movement. The bras feature removable EVA foam pads and a construction designed for controlled, studio-based activity rather than sustained high-impact output. TENCEL Lyocell has been shown to perform well against skin moisture compared to synthetic alternatives, maintaining comfort during moderate-intensity sessions without the surface wetness associated with fully synthetic fabric (Öner et al., 2013).
What This Set Is Not
The Sempre bras are not encapsulated sports bras. They are not designed for running, HIIT, or any activity requiring firm breast support under sustained impact. Anyone whose primary training involves high-intensity cardio will need a different bra construction. The leggings and shorts are appropriate for those activities from a fit standpoint, but Bellissima does not position the full set for them. The fabric is also 8% spandex, which is synthetic. The garments are not fully biodegradable, not microplastic-free in a technical sense, and should not be described as fully natural. The TENCEL Lyocell component carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification at the fiber level through Lenzing AG. Bellissima does not yet hold finished-product OEKO-TEX certification.
What pieces are in the Bellissima matching activewear set?
The Sempre collection includes the Sempre Leggings, Sempre Shorts, Sempre Twist Bra, and Sempre Halter Bra. All four pieces share the same 92% TENCEL Lyocell and 8% spandex composition.
Do all pieces in the set use the same fabric?
Yes. Every piece in the Sempre collection is made from the same 92% TENCEL Lyocell and 8% spandex blend, giving the set a consistent drape, sheen, and surface texture.
What activities are matching activewear sets best suited for?
Yoga, pilates, barre, reformer, walking, and low-impact training. The bras in this collection are not designed for high-impact sustained activity.
Are the sets squat proof?
Yes. The interlock weft knit construction provides full opacity in all positions, including squats and forward folds.
What sizes are available?
XS through XL across all pieces.
