Style Advisor: The Ultimate Fit Kit

Workout gear has never been cooler. Now something of a style statement, sportswear has seeped into every facet of our lives – whether you’re going to the gym or not. And for 2021, designers have delivered stand-out activewear collections that will feel just as at home working out as they will mixing into your day-to-day wardrobes. What to look out for? Victoria Beckham brings her signature chic to iconic sportswear brand Reebok, while Leomie Anderson’s LAPP continues to push the boundaries, with bold colours and unique shapes. Consider these the building blocks of your 2021 fit kit.

On Top

The foundation of all successful workouts? A hardworking sports bra. LAPP’s Seamless Contour Sports Bra cups you tightly, with just enough flex to allow you to move freely, while Koral’s Dakota Blackout Bra provides a shot of colour to your kit. Prefer things a little looser? Go for The Upside’s Muscle Tank Top and throw on the Adidas by Stella McCartney parka post your next gym session.

Bottoms Up

High-stretch leggings and uber-cool cycling shorts have become something of a fashion statement over the past 12 months. Pair with bright white tennis socks and chunky trainers for your best Princess Di weekend vibe and re-work with an oversized blazer come Monday morning. Taking things a little more seriously back in the gym? These multi-taskers will more than satisfy your next sweat session, with high-tech fabrics designed to smooth, streamline and hold you in.

New Kicks

Whether you’re looking for serious runners or friends to pound the pavement with, New Balance has a pair of trainers to match. Top of our list are these pale grey iterations, that will serve you just as well come summer. For your daily jaunt, Reebok x Victoria Beckham and Chloe have created the perfect tonal pairs, while sports powerhouse asics have teamed up with Vivienne Westwood to re-imagine the Gel Kayano. The result? Semi-translucent sock-like trainers with zips, Orbs and high-tech cushioning.

When it comes to stretching it out, this Adidas by Stella McCartney yoga mat combines comfort with sustainability – its crafted from 80% recycled paper – while the Lola Pocket Massage Gun can accompany you straight to the gym. The last piece of your equipment? A Sporty & Rich tote bag, which will keep all your gear safe and sound post-workout.
