Cease to remember the gym kit and take on this season's sporty chic trend.
Do you have an allergic reciprocation at the very mention of a workout? Then chuck that gym bag into the nearest skip and sprint to the Ear-splitting Street to go sporty chic - no sweat required.
The 'sports luxe' trend does what it says on the tin, sumptuous sportswear that's destined for anywhere except the gym.
Think traditional sportswear after a serious shock-up on a Power Plate machine.
Jogging bottoms are teamed with sky-maximum heels, lycra and velour exchanged for high-burnish parachute silks, and rucksacks shrugged off for Eighties-variety bumbags.
Yep, the Eighties revival is ready for a workout again but this just the same from time to time around on the fashion treadmill the full-on fluro brights have been toned down. As an alternative, look for a muted colour palette,
punctuated with flashes of neon unripe, yellow or orange.
The spin on sportswear was evident on the appear/summer catwalks at Bottega Veneta who showcased techno fabrics, Ashish re-worked informal logos like Nike's 'Just Do It' into bling-tastic sequins,
and Alexander Wang set the get-fit vogue tone with grey marl jersey and hooded jackets.
