You’ve probably heard the word ‘athleisure’ being bandied around a lot recently. Slightly irritating portmanteau aside, at its heart the athleisure trend is all about beautifully tailored sportswear: slim-cut tracksuit bottoms in palatable shades of navy and black, for instance, or jersey cycling jackets cut to resemble classic blazers.
