If you’ve ever felt like your gym wardrobe was either too cute to sweat in or too basic to be seen in, GCCO has heard you loud and clear. The Dubai-based sportswear brand has officially rolled out its brand new Pilates and Padel Collections in the UAE, and they’re built specifically for women who refuse to choose between looking good and feeling good. I have even more charming details where that came from, so keep reading to find out more.
And While You’re Out There Being Active This Summer, Here Is Your UAE Summer Survival Guide: 9 Ways To Stay Cool & Beat The Heat
The Woman Behind The Designs
The collections come straight from the mind of GCCO Co-Founder and entrepreneur Kelly Marie Mackinnon, who clearly knows a thing or two about juggling a packed schedule. Every piece is designed around softness, shape, and ease of movement, so you get that perfect mix of elegance and performance without sacrificing either one. Think fabrics, cuts, and colours that were chosen with real intention, giving you that second-skin feel while still holding everything in place exactly where it should be.
What’s In The Pilates & Yoga Collection:
- Two signature bra styles, including a gorgeous halter-neck option (AED 180)
- Sculpting seamless leggings (AED 180)
- Matching shorts (AED 180)
- A soft fitted tank top (AED 199)
What’s In The Padel Collection:
- A structured skirt (AED 170)
- Tailored shorts (AED 200)
- A supportive sports bra (AED 180)
- A matching top made for movement and comfort (AED 200)
Straight From Kelly Herself
Kelly explained that the whole point of these collections was to design for real life, not just chase trends. Between running a business, being a mum, training, travelling and playing padel, she wanted pieces that could genuinely keep up with a woman’s lifestyle instead of forcing her to adapt to them. She admitted she was tired of activewear that either looked great but didn’t perform. Or performed well but lost all sense of femininity. So she spent serious time getting the small things right. From the fit of the waistband to the support in the bras to how the fabric actually feels while you move. As she put it, this wasn’t about adding more noise to the activewear market. It was about finally filling the gap she felt was missing.
Keeping Up With The Times With Style & Functionality
With more women picking up padel both socially and competitively, GCCO tapped into a real shift happening on the courts. Women want to feel stylish while they play, not just functional. So instead of sticking to typical sportswear, GCCO leaned into elevated courtwear. That lets you perform at your best while still looking effortlessly put together.
From rolling out your mat or heading to the courts, GCCO’s new collections make sure you’re covered in every sense. So head over to their website now to shop the full range and see what all the buzz is about.
