PERSONAL BEST

Whether you have set yourself some fitness resolutions for the year ahead or your current activewear wardrobe is in need of an update, now is the perfect time to invest in some elevated sportswear because the offering has never been better.

Long gone are the days when your gym clothes were the least stylish part of your wardrobe. Now thanks to the influx of fitness brands designing chic athleisure that doesn’t compromise on quality and performance, your gym kit can be worn straight from your spin class to lunch with friends. What’s more, there’s nothing that will motivate you more than slipping into some new leggings and a sports bra. But perhaps even more importantly, new, quality workout gear will also seriously enhance your performance.

PRETTY IN PINK

Pink made major waves on the runways this season and has firmly placed itself into the wardrobes of the fashion set. But it’s not stopping there, this joyful shade is also taking over the athleisure world. Whether pastel or vibrant, embrace the tone and wear a three-piece matching set or simply pair with your favourite patterned leggings. Look to Alo Yoga and Sweaty Betty for joy-inducing shades.

Elevate further with a light dusting of diamond jewellery. What’s more, they make for the perfect fitness companion whether worn to and from the gym or even during an intense weight lifting circuit.

BACK TO BLACK

Ask any fashion expert and they’ll tell you the easiest way to looking chic is by dressing tonally. And no shade is quite as versatile or fashionable as the colour black. That’s why no activewear collection should be without a matching all-black set. This Airlift Crescent Sports Bra from Alo Yoga can easily take you from studio to street thanks to its asymmetrical neckline and sheer mesh overlay. When paired with the matching 7/8 High-Waist Airlift Leggings, you’re set for whatever the day brings.
