8 Cheak Essentials That Deserve a Spot in Your Activewear Rotation

Don’t know where to start with your activewear or athleisure shopping? Let us get you started with Cheak!

Activewear is widely considered an essential in every wardrobe. Easy to style, relaxed, and oftentimes versatile, it strikes the balance between chic and comfortable. While having variety in styles and colours might make dressing up a little easier, we think you really only need a few staple pieces to keep things simple and easier on your wallet (plus the environment!). If you’re asking yourself “well, where do I start?”, our answer is simple: Cheak. Designed with the modern Asian woman in mind, Cheak’s pieces are effortless and versatile, fit for all-day wear whether you want to keep things basic or add a little flair to your look. Below, we introduce you to our eight favourite Cheak pieces that we think are worthy of being staples in your activewear rotation. 

Power Bra

A sports bra is more than just an essential for a girls’ workout. It’s quite literally her entire support system and Cheak’s Power Bra does all that—all while ensuring she looks cute while she sweats. It’s designed for high support through low- to medium-impact workouts and constructed with the brand’s signature BaseFlex fabric for peak comfort and absorbency.

Strappy Mesh Bra

For the workouts that don’t require as much support, the Strappy Mesh Bra is our favourite choice for low- to medium- intensity activities. Think yoga, pilates, or even a brisk walk around your favourite park. As usual, the bra cups are removable for your washing ease. Plus, its BaseFlex 2.0 fabric and breathable mesh back will keep you feeling snug and comfortable throughout your wear.

Split Run Short

For the girls who run and lift, the Split Run Short is a total must-have. It is high-waisted with a three-inch inseam and a side split for extra breathability. Available in a large range of colours, you’ll be spoilt for choice… But we see it as even more opportunities to colour-coordinate your workout ensemble. It’s even got an little inner key pocket so your tiny essentials can stay with you safe and sound as you put in your miles.

Relax Padded Scoop Tank

Everyone needs the “perfect” tank in their closet and Cheak’s Relax Padded Scoop Tank is just about it. The tank top ends right by your waistline and comes with removable bra pads—what more could a girl ask for? Wear it for a day out café hopping, as part of your airport fit, for the hours in between your workouts, or when lounging at home—there really is no wrong answer when it comes to this top. The only decision you’ll have to make is which colour to add to cart.

City Swing Tank Crop

Okay, we know we’ve already clued you in on one of our all-time favourite tank tops…but we’re not done yet. While the Relax Padded Scoop Tank can follow you through the airports and to your brunch dates, the City Swing Tank Crop will have you breezing through just about any workout. And honestly, wearing this breathable and quick-dry top on a flight doesn’t sound like too bad of an idea either. It’s sweat-wicking and ever so light, which means you’ll feel airy (also thanks to the little peek-a-boo detail at the back) and cool no matter how long you’ve got it on for.

Quarter Zip Sweater Crop

We know, we know. Sweaters aren’t usually an essential part of a workout getup when in Malaysia…but hear us out. Activewear isn’t just for the gym or fitness studios! We think they make for the best travel looks too. This Quarter Zip Sweater Crop is an editor-approved companion for road trips, long-haul flights, and airport layovers. The cropped finish helps to highlight your waist and avoids bulk, while its breathable, buttery soft CoolLuxe fabric keeps things cool and light. It also comes in a variety of colours from pastels to solids, so good luck choosing!
