Most Needed: The Finest Activewear to Purchase This Month

Returning to the gym this month is anything but a chore with our round-up of activewear that’s so good you’ll actually want to exercise.

Adidas x Wales Bonner

We always anticipated the meeting of minds between sportswear behemoth Adidas and fashion-world darling Grace Wales Bonner would be good, but we weren’t expecting to want everything from the current unisex autumn/winter collection. Wales Bonner’s soulful take on archival Adidas looks from the 1970s to the ’90s is pure collaboration gold. At the top of our wish list are the retro mahogany jogging set and faux pony Sambas.

Soft As Silk

Although constantly innovating with fabric, Lululemon claims its latest Wondermost collection is its softest yet, and we couldn’t agree more. Made from Nulu material, the selection of flattering T-shirts, bras and body suits fit tightly like a second skin. Ideal for working out, going out and everything in between. You may struggle to settle for anything less.

Straight Ace

American brand Varley is fast becoming our go-to for chic outerwear and activewear, and its pleated tennis dresses are pure preppy perfection. Sustainable too, this Elgan tennis dress is made from 88 percent recycled materials.

Pucci Perfection

You can always rely on Pucci’s kaleidoscopic prints for a dose of dopamine, and this blue ripple costume is no exception. Striking the balance between fashionable and functional with its high neck and streamlined silhouette, pair with these fabulously retro matching cap and goggles for full-on swimming pool swagger.

Golden Balls

Trust Anya Hindmarch, the British designer known for her meticulously labelled and compartmentalised luggage, washbags and accessories, to ensure your tennis balls never go astray. This set of three, which can be personalised, fits perfectly inside this chic racket case, along with all your other court-side essentials.
