What to know about Set Active
Sets first, single pieces second
The line is built around matching two-piece sets in in-house fabrics like SetSpot and SculptFlex, with leggings, bras, shorts and sweats filling in around them.
Color is the differentiator
Where most mid-priced activewear defaults to black and grey, Set Active leans on bold, deliberately clashing colorways as its signature.
Drops shaped by social feedback
The independent LA label develops releases from direct customer input on Instagram and TikTok, selling direct-to-consumer plus stores in Los Angeles and New York.
