What do you wear when you exercise?
Research shows that Merino wool is a favourite choice for high-performance activewear. Why? Because no man-made fibre can match the qualities of merino wool fibre: Breathable, superior moisture management, quiet when moving, odour resistant, and temperature regulating. These are the qualities that make wool a perfect technical fabric for activewear clothing.
When we started Smitten nearly 15 years π³ ago, we were motivated to utilise these amazing qualities for women's fashion and streetwear. But we also wanted to make the basics - functional activewear that makes life more enjoyable and comfortable when you're in the beautiful outdoors doing your favourite thing! Looking good whilst feeling like an athlete.
With new colours added to this range, here are some of our most popular active Smittens:

When I started Smitten, a big incentive was creating more colourful merino clothing, as it was hard to find the colours I wanted to wear in winter. Here are a few ways you can add colour to your wardrobe.
