Call it the lockdown hangover but it’s pretty acceptable to wear your gym kit outside of the gym these days. That’s partly thanks to a host of incredible brands doing activewear so well.

First up, Anine Bing. The eponymous brand is known for an edit of capsule pieces with a slight rock ‘n’ roll edge and those sweatshirts that have been spotted on almost every style influencer worth their salt. Oversized, super soft and wash well, they are a seriously good investment for your wardrobe. Plus, wear them with everything from cycling shorts and big sunnies to the gym (very ’90s Princess Diana) to work with stirrup leggings, kitten heels and a great bag.

Then there’s Varley, the Brit-by-way-of-LA brand founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Lara and Ben Mead. They are the masters of elevated activewear – each piece feels special and polished enough to wear on repeat, outside of training. Check them out for great prints in muted colour palettes and high-tech details.

For something that still feels high-end but is more affordable, Adanola is a stellar option. Their slogan sweats have become somewhat cult on the school run, at brunch dates and while running errands. Wear their high-waist leggings with an oversized sweat, slogan cap and sporty socks for a polished but feels-as-comfy-as-pyjamas look.

We’ll always be faithful to an all-black athleisure look, but this season we’re loving head-to-toe looks of hot red and chocolate brown, too.
