PacSun's activewear line marks an entirely new direction for the brand as they pivot toward mindfulness and wellness. The line's official name is 'Pacsun Active' and it offers everything one might need to take the first steps towards a wellness journey.
The newly introduced line features a range of sports-focused pieces, that include comfortable sports bras, biker shorts, jackets, spandex items and more. Each of the pieces arrive in a muted pastel colorway, offering something a little more dreamy and reminiscent of the summer time. According to Brie Olson, Chief Brand Officer for PacSun "We asked ourselves, how do we continue to focus on supporting the importance of wellness, when it can be so challenging to continue to focus on taking care of yourself in these times? How can we support our young people in staying healthy and active? In asking those questions, PacSun Active was born."
