15 Brands Like Bombshell Sportswear for Bold Activewear
You go hunting for a legging in a colour that shows up in a photograph, and the first four pages serve you black, then charcoal, then a tasteful oatmeal. Bombshell Sportswear built its following by refusing to do that, cutting bright, high-contrast kit that holds its shape through a heavy set (Line Contour Leggings $92, Line Contour Shorts $68, Contrast Voltage Sports Bra $64, all USD).
One label can only print so many colourways a season, and the good ones sell out of the middle sizes first. Here are 15 brands like Bombshell Sportswear, each with a store we've checked is open and taking orders.
Every price below came off the brand's own store. Four of them (Alphalete, Alo Yoga, Fabletics and Lululemon) block automated price checks, so those carry a tier in words rather than a figure we can't stand behind. Two price in Australian dollars, which we've flagged in the row and the section.
Quick comparison:
| Brand | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Alphalete | Not verifiable (bot wall) | Bombshell's fit in solid colours |
| Alo Yoga | Premium, USD | Studio kit you can wear to dinner |
| Gymshark | $38 to $70 USD on leggings | Restocking cheaply and often |
| Fabletics | Budget, USD, membership pricing | Prints across a wide size range |
| Resoluna | $58 to $128 USD | The loudest prints on this list |
| Lululemon | Premium, USD | Support that outlasts the trend |
| KORAL | A$89 to A$175 on the Australian store | High-shine finishes |
| P.E Nation | Prices default to AUD | Retro sports graphics |

| Varley | $62 to $128 USD | The quiet half of the rotation |
| Carbon38 | $88 to $118 USD on its own label | Liquid-shine leggings |
| Beyond Yoga | $58 to $108 USD | Softer fabric for lighter sessions |
| Terez | $70 to $295 USD on womenswear | Licensed team prints |
| Onzie | $88 to $98 USD on leggings | Hand-drawn prints from a small LA label |
| Buffbunny | $46 to $64 USD | The lowest prices here |
Alphalete
Alphalete cuts close-fitting training kit in solid colours, which makes it the fit match for Bombshell rather than the print match. The Houston label sells leggings, bras, shorts and oversized tops that read as street clothes on the walk home, and the compression is firm enough that the waistband stays where you put it.
Its store sits behind a bot wall, so we couldn't read a single price off the site and we won't invent one. What we can tell you is what the catalogue looks like: a deep bench of block colours, seasonal drops rather than a standing range, and sizes that clear out fast at the small and medium end.
Best for: the Bombshell silhouette when you've gone off prints.
Alo Yoga
Alo Yoga makes premium studio wear in muted colours, and it's the brand people reach for when they want the fit without the volume. The fabric hand is softer than Bombshell's, the palette runs to eclipse blue and toasted almond, and the cuts are built for yoga and pilates rather than heavy conditioning work.
Alo's site blocks automated checks, so we're giving you the tier in words. It's premium, and it prices above Gymshark and below almost nothing else on this list.
One thing worth knowing: Alo Moves, the streaming class subscription, isn't a separate clothing brand. It's the same company's fitness video service, so there's one Alo store and one place to buy.
Best for: kit that survives the school run after the class.
Gymshark
Gymshark is the cheapest way on this list to restock a drawer, with women's leggings from $38 to $70 USD and sports bras from $26 to $58. The Soft Sculpt Leggings sit at $60, Training Leggings 2.0 at $38, and the Twist Front Sports Bra at $40.
Where Bombshell picks a print and commits, Gymshark builds around fit names and colour drops, with 105 leggings and 161 bras live at the time of writing. That's a lot of choice, and it means a colourway you love can vanish and return in a different fabric.
The Bratz collaboration legging at $64 is the closest Gymshark gets to Bombshell's energy.
Best for: buying three pairs for the price of one elsewhere.
Fabletics
Fabletics runs on a VIP membership, and that's the fact that decides whether it suits you. Sign up and the sticker prices drop sharply. Skip it and you pay full retail, so the number you see quoted around the internet depends entirely on which of those two people is quoting it.
The range itself is the closest thing here to Bombshell's brief: bright prints, supportive cuts, and a size range that runs well past the point where most activewear stops. Fabletics also blocks automated price checks, so we're leaving the figure alone and telling you the tier is budget.
Read the membership terms before you check out. It's a monthly credit model, not a one-off purchase.
Best for: prints in sizes the rest of this list doesn't cut.
Resoluna
Resoluna is what Niyama Sol became. The label relaunched under the new name in October 2024, carrying over the painterly recycled-fabric prints that made it worth knowing, and it now describes itself as women-owned and locally run.
Prices land in USD: the Sol Legging is $92, the X-Back Shortie $98, the Diamondback Sports Bra $58 and the Crop Hoodie $108. Printed colourways like Peacock and Dragon are the reason to shop here, and they're a genuine step past what Bombshell does with colour blocking.
If you're chasing an old Niyama Sol print, the site keeps a vault collection of the archive stock.
Best for: the boldest patterns on this page.
Lululemon
Lululemon sells premium activewear built around a handful of fabrics it keeps for years, which is the opposite of a print-led brand. Align, Wunder Train and Fast and Free aren't colours, they're fabric families, and people buy the same pair three times because the fit doesn't drift.
Lululemon's storefront blocks scripted visitors, so the tier is the honest answer here rather than a price. It's premium, and it holds that position without discounting much.
What you give up compared to Bombshell is loudness. What you get back is a waistband that still behaves after two years of washing. We compared the fabrics in detail in our look at 2XU vs Lululemon.
Best for: one pair you'll still wear in 2029.
KORAL
KORAL does high-shine better than anyone else here, and its Lustrous and Infinity finishes catch light the way Bombshell's brightest colourways do. The Australian store prices in AUD: the Lustrous Infinity High Rise Legging is A$125, the Exceed Blackout High Rise Legging A$145, the Muscle Netz Tank A$89 and the Pump Open Mesh Pullover A$175.
We couldn't get a response from the US domain when we checked, so the figures above are the Australian ones and your card will see a conversion unless you're shopping from Australia.
The mesh panelling is the other draw. It's cut for looks as much as ventilation, which is a fair description of the whole brand.
Best for: liquid finishes and mesh detailing.
P.E Nation
P.E Nation brings retro sports graphics to activewear, and it's the one brand here whose prints compete with Bombshell's on sheer noise. The Sydney label runs 130 leggings across its site, in sizes 2XS to 3XL, with racing stripes and oversized wordmarks doing most of the design work.
Prices default to Australian dollars, though the store offers AUD, NZD, GBP, USD and EUR at the switcher. Free shipping kicks in over $150 in whichever currency you've selected, so set that before you start filling a basket.
Best for: colour-blocked kit that looks like a 1980s track team.
Sweaty Betty
Sweaty Betty prints leggings you'd wear up a hill, which is a narrower and more useful promise than it sounds. The Power 7/8 Workout Leggings and full-length Power Workout Leggings both sit at $134 USD on the US store, with the leggings range running $118 to $138.
The London brand puts its patterns on outerwear and hiking kit too, so a print you like isn't stuck in one category. That's the practical difference from Bombshell, which keeps its focus on gym and studio silhouettes.
Sizing runs XXS to XL on most of the Power line, and the US site lists 179 pieces across clothing.
Best for: one print you can wear to the gym and up a trail.
Varley
Varley is the quiet one, and it earns a place here because most people who love bold prints still own two pairs of plain leggings. The FreeSoft High-Rise Legging runs $98 USD in both 25 and 28-inch inseams, the Always High-Rise Legging $118, and the Assure High-Rise Legging $128. Shorts start at $62.
The palette is neutral and the branding is nearly invisible, so it works for the days you don't want to be looked at. Free US delivery starts at $100.
Best for: the plain pair that goes under everything else.
Carbon38
Carbon38 is a retailer with its own label, and the label is the reason to go. Its Melt fabric leggings run $118 USD, biker shorts $88, bras $98 to $108, and the Takara shine finish is what turned the brand into a cult buy in the first place.
Because Carbon38 also stocks other brands, you can put a Bombshell-style print next to a plain compression pair in one basket. The trade-off is a catalogue big enough to get lost in, and a sale section running into the thousands of items.
Filter to the Carbon38 collection if you want the house line rather than the marketplace.
Best for: liquid-shine leggings with a house label behind them.
Beyond Yoga
Beyond Yoga sells the softest fabric on this list, and its Spacedye heathers are the closest it gets to a print. The Spacedye Vitalize Full Length Legging is $108 USD, the Featherweight Cropped Tee $64 and the Featherweight Minimal Cropped Tank $58.
This is the brand for the sessions that aren't heavy. The compression is gentler than Bombshell's, the tops are cut looser, and the whole range leans toward pilates, walking and the hours afterwards.
Best for: light days, long flights and the sofa.
Terez
Terez prints harder than any other brand here, and these days a lot of that printing carries a league badge. Its womenswear range runs 380 pieces from $70 to $295 USD, with official MLB, NBA and NFL collections doing much of the heavy lifting. The Yankees Rib Hoodie is $165 and the Batterman Bomber Jacket $295.
Go in knowing the mix has shifted. Terez started in leggings, and the team graphics now sit alongside them rather than behind them, with a large girls and kids range as well.
If you want a print with a logo you can name, this is the one. Free shipping starts at $150.
Best for: bold prints tied to a team you support.
Onzie
Onzie is the small LA label doing hand-drawn prints, and its Hot Girl Legging is $88 USD in most colourways and $98 in the Hawk Wisdom print. Medicine Magic, Honey Snake and Rose Wash give you a fair idea of the register.
The brand describes itself as made in Los Angeles, and the prints are the point. They're painterly rather than geometric, which puts Onzie somewhere between Resoluna's artwork and Bombshell's colour blocking.
Stock is thinner than the big names, so a print you like is worth buying when you see it.
Best for: a print you won.t see on the next mat.
Buffbunny
Buffbunny undercuts everything else on this page, with leggings at $64 USD and 4.5-inch shorts at $46. Sizes run 2XS to 3XL and free US shipping starts at $125.
The brand builds around scrunch-back fits and colour collections that drop and disappear, which is closer to Bombshell's model than to Gymshark's standing range. Biker shorts, joggers and skorts fill out the rest.
Best for: the same silhouette at half the money.
Where to Start If You Only Buy One Pair
Start with what you want the leggings to do. For prints as loud as Bombshell's, Resoluna and Onzie are the two worth opening first, and Terez if the pattern should come with a team badge. For the same fit at the lowest price, it's Buffbunny, then Gymshark.
Check the currency before you check out. KORAL and P.E Nation both price in Australian dollars by default, so the figure on the product page isn't the figure your card sees unless you're shopping from Australia. And read the Fabletics membership terms rather than the headline price.
