If you’ve been scrolling through your socials lately, you’ve probably noticed an explosion of BBL jackets taking over gym wardrobes everywhere - and we’re not mad about it. From TikTok to TV stars, celebs like Love Island's Molly Smith, Holly Hagan, and Khloe Kardashian have all been spotted rocking the look, proving that you can have your cake (aka that sculpted waist and lifted silhouette) and eat it too. These jackets are designed to give you serious curves and keep you snatched even while you’re doing squats.
The best part? These jackets are about more than just looking good - whether you're warming up, cooling down, or hitting the treadmill, they’re comfy, stylish, and practical too, with many containing sweat-wicking material. Think of them as your secret weapon for achieving that hourglass shape without stepping foot in a surgery room.
Just look at Molly Smith slaying it in her BBL jacket from activewear brand Oner Active. Unfortunately, this colour way is now completely sold out, but we'll include an alternative from the brand below.
Ready to get your gym glow-up on? Here’s our round-up of the best BBL jackets that will have you looking fire both inside and outside the gym, with styles starting from just £12.50. What a bargain.
