Athleisure, sports luxe… whatever you call it, it goes without saying that activewear is totally a fashion thing now. From the runway to er, running round the park, celebrities and mere mortals alike are embracing the gym-meets-street look.
But whilst Kendall, Karlie and Gigi make the trend seem effortless (sigh), we know first hand that getting it right can be more than a little intimidating. Fortunately, with Tu’s latest crop of sportswear blending style and function, it’s never been simpler to take your look from barre to bar.
Take inspo from the golden rules below, then shop our active edit straight from the gallery. Bye, baggy old tee. Hell-o, motivation.
Focus on fit
First things first: when it comes to getting fit, it's all about the fit. Flattery will get you everywhere – think waist-hugging high-rise leggings and supportive-yet-stylish sports bras. When your kit makes you feel this good, you won't want to take it off (promise).
Add some colour
Don't get us wrong – we love a head-to-toe black moment as much as the next fash fan, but this year our gym bag has come over all things bright and beautiful. Go all-out in kaleidoscope prints, or nod to the trend with a flash of neon trim.
Fabric is your friend
Just because your workout look is strong, doesn't mean its perfomance can't be. The best technical fabrics wick sweat, don't cling and keep VPL where it belongs (back in the '90s, obviously), leaving you to focus on tearing up the treadmill.
Layer it up
One piece – that's all it takes to make the shift from pilates to pavement. Whether it be sleek sunnies, a drawstring detail jacket or even a shirt tied round the waist, the trick to pulling it all together is to keep your layers simple and unfussy. In other words, let the faux fur and fringing sit this one out.
