The natural activewear my children never want to take off
If you’ve ever looked for sports and everyday clothes for your children that feel as considered as the rest of your wellness life, you’ll know how hard it is. So much kids’ activewear is polyester, and children live in it: running, jumping, rolling around and sweating all day long.
Svante is the brand that changed that for us. It’s a UK brand making natural-performance activewear for children, from plant-based and regenerative cotton fabrics that stretch, breathe and keep up with little ones who never stop moving. The colours are joyful too: pink, taupe pink, blue floral, glacial blue and peacoat blue.
Below you’ll find every Svante piece we have on Glowing Healthy, for girls and boys, and the ones my children reach for again and again.

Why I trust Svante
Svante was founded by parents Jennifer and Ben Donnelly, who, the brand says, spent three years searching for natural materials that could stretch, breathe and keep up with children who never stop moving.[2] In its own words, Svante exists to prove that performance, style and sustainability can go hand in hand.[2]
Every order ships from the UK, which matters to me as a mum who wants beautiful, considered pieces that arrive quickly.[3]
💖 Plantech. Made from 100% wood-based fibres, Svante says, for leggings, shorts and sports sets.[1]

My children’s Svante favourites
Rise Plantech Sports Set: for every activity
The pink Plantech crop top and leggings set is the one my daughter reaches for for her activities. It’s soft and stretchy, made from Svante’s wood-based Plantech fabric, and it moves with her.
The matching sports shorts in Taupe Pink are perfect for warmer days.
“My daughter loves wearing this set for all her activities, it’s so comfy and flexible, and I love that it’s made from natural materials.” - Georgie x
Frequency Earthknit Hoodie: the one she won’t take off
A cosy hoodie in regenerative Earthknit cotton. It’s the layer she never wants to take off.
Pair it with the Rise leggings in blue floral or the Core joggers.
“My daughter never wants to take this hoodie off, it’s so soft and warm! I love that it’s made from natural materials.” - Georgie x
Pace Meshflex Set: lightweight sports kit
For my son, the Pace Meshflex set in glacial blue is the lightweight sports kit I love. It’s made from Tencel grown from eucalyptus, Svante says, and it’s light and airy for running around.
It’s the set he reaches for for sports and running around.
“My son loves this set for sports and running around, it’s lightweight, comfy, and I love that it keeps him cool while being totally flexible for every activity.” - Georgie x
Flow Earthknit Tee and Shorts: everyday staples
The Flow tee and shorts in regenerative Earthknit cotton are the everyday pieces that move with him, day in, day out.
Add the Core joggers for cooler days and you have a whole natural-fibre wardrobe for an active boy.

Fit, care and delivery
💖 Fit. Svante says its pieces are designed to fit true to size. If your child is between sizes and prefers a relaxed fit, the brand suggests sizing up.[4]
💖 Care. Svante pre-washes its garments to minimise shrinkage, though a slight change of around 5% may happen after the first wash. Follow the care label on each piece.[4]
💖 UK delivery. Every order ships from the UK. Order before 1pm on a working day and it goes out the same day, with UK delivery in 1 to 3 working days, the brand says.[3]
💖 Returns. Unworn items with tags can be returned within 30 days of delivery through the brand’s returns portal.[5]
Who Svante is perfect for
💖 Active children. Gymnastics, football, dance, running and climbing trees.
💖 Parents avoiding polyester. Natural-performance fabrics in place of synthetic sportswear.
💖 Siblings. Girls’ and boys’ ranges that sit happily side by side.
💖 Gifting. A sports set or hoodie makes a beautiful, practical present.
Why natural fibres for children’s activewear?
Children wear their activewear for hours, often while they’re hot and sweaty, and they grow out of it so quickly. Choosing breathable, plant-based fabrics for those pieces is one of the easiest swaps I’ve made for our family.
Svante proves you don’t have to give up stretch or performance to do it. The pieces are soft, flexible and made for real play.
