You don't need to be a ballerina to wear Misty Copeland's Under Armour collection

You don’t have to be a dancer to wear Misty Copeland’s new capsule athleisure collection for Under Armour. The 34-year-old’s 13-piece line titled Inspired By Misty Copeland is made to fit into an active lifestyle, whether that's in the gym or running errands. In an interview with Vogue, Copeland says because of her training schedule, “all these pieces fit into my everyday streetwear.”

In 2014, professional ballerina Copeland made waves after starring in an inspiring commercial for Under Armour that showcased how, despite rejection and criticism because of her body type, Copeland became the first African-American principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre at the age of 24.
