ICYMI: Dancing with the Stars is the unexpected it-girl TV show this fall. What was once a guilty-pleasure show for the whole family to enjoy has since captivated audiences through a refreshing social media strategy and stars like Robert Irwin, who is totally stealing hearts on the dance floor and our phone screens. Even if you don’t actually watch the show, it’s hard to avoid those viral TikTok videos this season. 

If you’re like us, you’ve probably scrolled through dozens of behind-the-scenes rehearsal videos from this season’s star cast, including Whitney Leavitt, Alix Earle, Elaine Hendrix, and Lauren Jauregui. One thing they have in common (aside from impressive dance moves): They’re all showing up to rehearsals in PopFlex athleisure

‘Dancing with the Stars’ PopFlex Favorites, at a Glance

From the viral TikToks to behind-the-scenes Instagram posts, the Dancing with the Stars cast can’t get enough of PopFlex leggings, sweatshirts, and tees. And, honestly, we aren’t the least bit surprised. Much like DWTS, the athleisure brand has also achieved virality for trendy athletic wear, such as the PopFlex Pirouette Skort

From Whitney Leavitt’s PopFlex hoodie to Alix Earle’s leggings, we scoured social media for all of the details—and share the cast’s favorites below.

It seems Elaine Hendrix is also a fan of PopFlex leggings, as she was recently seen wearing the PopFlex Cargo Legging with Pockets in Royal Orchid on Instagram.

Like other popular PopFlex styles, they’re also anti-cameltoe and squat-proof with a pinch-free waistband.

More Favorites From PopFlex

PopFlex Pirouette Skort
The PopFlex Pirouette Skort is one of the brand’s most popular styles and a favorite amongst Disney adults and other theme park fans, too. This tennis skirt features comfortable built-in athletic shorts with a tulle-like tiered skirt and a drawstring for a more customized fit. 

“I own a lot of tennis skirts and this is one of my favorites (and the most fun skort I own). The shorts are form-fitting and super comfortable, and the tulle-like material gives it a girly touch that looks so cute on the tennis court, running errands, or while getting steps in at Disneyland.”— Jessie Quinn, Contributing Commerce Writer at StyleCaster.

PopFlex Corset Pirouette Dress
If you love the PopFlex Pirouette Skort but prefer a tennis dress, the brand has you covered with its Corset Pirouette Dress. This dress features the same tulle-like material with a corset-like top and thicker adjustable straps that don’t dig into your shoulders. 

“I also own this PopFlex tennis dress and love it. I’ve never actually worn mine for exercise, but as a Disney girly, it’s one of my favorite styles to wear to the parks when it’s super hot out and I know I’ll be walking a ton. It’s also a go-to when I want to be comfortable but still look cute, and I often wear it while running errands, working from a coffee shop, or just lounging around at home.”— Jessie Quinn, Contributing Commerce Writer at StyleCaster.

PopFlex Ooey Gooey Half Zip Sweater
PopFlex might be known for its tulle tennis skirts, but the brand also carries some cute and comfy sweatshirts (including the Dancing with the Stars favorite, Zip Cloud Hoodie). For another sweatshirt style, consider the Ooey Gooey Half Zip Sweater. This half-zip pullover is made from a cozy heavyweight material and features an oversized fit with blousey batwing sleeves. 

“This is the sweatshirt I reach for the most (and I own a lot of sweatshirts). It’s one of my favorites for travel because it’s heavyweight and cozy enough for long flights. I also love that the neck features a zipper and snap buttons, so you can wear it in a few different ways and get a different vibe every time.”— Jessie Quinn, Contributing Commerce Writer at StyleCaster.
