The best athleisure pieces to invest in this year
These pieces will become your everyday staples.
Athleisure isn't just for exercising these days – perfect for weekend dressing or lounging around in at home, the growing trend for activewear shows no signs of going anywhere, so it's well worth investing in some sporty separates for the new season.
Whether you're looking for a super soft sweatshirt or flattering leggings, the high street is teaming with chic athleisure and cool loungewear pieces right now. Activewear is the perfect choice for busy weekends running around doing errands or even popping to the park to meet up with friends, as well as lighter workouts like yoga, pilates and walking.
There are plenty of options in neutrals, bold brights or pretty pastels so that you can actually feel stylish and comfortable at the same time. If you're not sure how to style athleisure, first try mixing your favourite comfy leggings with an oversized white t-shirt, or why not pair your wide-leg trousers with a slouchy sweatshirt for an off-duty weekend fit. With so many ways to style your athleisure, we know it will quickly become your go-to style-whatever the causal occasion.
Whether you prefer to stick to one colour palette, such as different shades of blue, or like keeping your looks monochrome, both are great ways to make sure that you still feel polished while you nailing this sporty trend. Or why not have some fun with your activewear and reach for bold prints or colours this season.
To give you some athleisure inspiration, we've selected the best athleisure pieces that you can shop right now from the likes of your favourite brands including M&S, Sweaty Betty, Nike and more...
