Over the last year you may have noticed the rise of Active Wear, or Sports Wear. I don't mean the standard Adidas and Nike, or even the collaborations of Designers or Celebrities with these top labels - think Stella McCartney and Rita Ora for Adidas. We now have the presence of High Street Women's Acitvewear with Lulu Lemon and Lorna Jane, and in the last 6-12 months the emergence of Activewear in your favourite High Street Fashion stores.
As we place more importance on looking after our bodies, through exercise and the myriad of healthy eating lifestyles, the High Street Stores have cottoned onto this and you can now walk into some major shops and shop for workout gear! I love the fact that Sportswear is now fashionable, I try to get out every day to walk my dog Ted and to get to the gym a couple of times a week, so being able to do this wearing something with a funky print, or great colours is an added bonus!
Here in New Zealand we have such an outdoors/laidback lifestyle so its great that we now also have a wider choice to choose from. Now there are no excuses to throw on your baggy, bottomless tracky pants and oversized sweatshirt, you have lots of options to wear this look but with a bit of style!
Some of the High Street Stores that have recently started stocking Sportswear are; Cotton On, (even bringing out a Cotton On Kids Active range), Witchery, Country Road, and from this week Moochi. Take a look at my pick of whats out there. Also check out on-line store The Iconic as they do a really good range of sportswear, with labels like Stella McCartney and lesser known but funky brands.
All Witchery - Miyako Jacket $149.90, Nova Leo Vest $149.90, Marvel pant legging $109.90, Nikita print tank $54.90.
