Let’s face it – we’ve all been there. Waking up on a Saturday morning and sliding into our comfortable yoga gear without actually doing any yoga or even breaking a sweat. And we’re left feeling a bit sheepish because all we could manage to do was to slip on some leggings – despite owning a closet full of stylish options.

Lucky for those of us who are guilty of overdoing the elastane and nylon, designer sportswear is fast providing us with even options that are fashionable, comfortable and impactful. Using garments previously synonymous with sports, rather than style, brands like Stella McCartney and Gucci are taking the same approach to bomber jackets, joggers and sweatshirts as they would their catwalk collections; fusing tech driven functionality with tailoring, innovative fabrics and opulent prints.

Here we present our edit of the new season’s most luxurious sportswear, including pieces that merge athleticism with a sophisticated, high fashion finish. From Stella McCartney’s tiger-motif and embroidered duchess-satin bomber jacket, to MSGM’s ribbon-tie cotton sweatshirt and the Victoria, Victoria Beckham ruffle-sleeve sweater, each delivers a high impact, gold winning look.

And for stylish, performance-focused pieces that you’ll want to wear to the gym, we’ve selected brands including The Upside and Lucas Hugh for leggings, sports bras and tops that seamlessly meld the highest technical innovations with cool, urban style. So the next time you put on yoga pants without doing the actual yoga component, at least you can lounge around in style.
