Ready, SET, Go—SET ACTIVE

Lindsay Carter, an alum of the University of Arizona and prior social media manager, had no idea what was ahead of her when she launched her athletic wear brand in 2017. Fast forward five years, and you can’t open social media or walk into a workout studio without spotting one of SET ACTIVE’s eye-catching workout sets.

Making the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, Carter focused on creating a brand that supported us girls on the go. In a conversation with VOGUE, Carter explained, “I wanted to create activewear that inspired confidence, taking the customer throughout a busy day, feeling and looking good regardless of whether a workout is on the agenda or not.” SET’s mission was to create “elevated everyday essentials that we want because they are at their best when we feel our best.” We love this here at The Edge.

SET’s unique designs give them a leg up from the rest of the activewear world. They’ve created styles to flatter everyone—scoop necks, box cuts, one-shoulder, halter necks—and they’re all about making you feel comfortable in your own body. In addition, the colors they consistently release are jaw-dropping: anywhere from sage greens, buttercup yellows, burnt oranges, lilac, you name it. Our favorite thing about SET is its mix-and-match shopping model. Pick your favorite top and pair it with your favorite bottoms in your favorite colorway. Now you have a set you love, tailored just for you. 

SET ACTIVE is a perfect staple in the college closet. Having comfortable yet sophisticated clothes to make you feel put together in your skin is the dream. Incorporating leggings, biker shorts, bra tops, hoodies, etc. fashionably into your style has never been so easy. Perfect for class, getting things done at your local coffee shop, working out, everything! Get excited if you haven’t dipped your toes in the SET pool yet. The ‘Set In The City’ collection just came out yesterday. With all-new colorways as well as the classics to choose from, it’s time to try out SET if you haven’t already. 

We’ve compiled a few of our favorite picks to give you some inspiration for your next set. 

One of our favorite colors: Vice. It’s transitional for all seasons. Match with the biker shorts or the leggings when heading into the chilly season!

The colorway Pepper is perfect for fall, and we love the contour bra with the sculpt flex leggings.

You can never go wrong with a suitable navy. Twilight in the box-cut bra is traditional and stylish; we love it. 

We can’t wait to see you around in your SET!
