As we settle into 2018, your New Year’s fitness goals may feel like a fading memory after booking your third boozy brunch of the year. The initial excitement of hitting the gym or jogging has likely worn thin, so to rekindle your enthusiasm, we suggest refreshing your workout wardrobe with some stylish new gear.
If you’ve been wearing a worn-out baggy T-shirt and leggings so thin they’re nearly transparent in the back—risking a public spectacle—don’t worry. Many brands have embraced the fitness craze, offering affordable options that won’t break the bank on Lycra. Here are our top picks for 2018…
Ditch Solid Black Leggings
Bid farewell to plain black leggings; patterned ones are now in style.
If you’re not ready for leggings that would make Jazzy Jeff proud, try Tesco’s F&F activewear line. They’re budget-friendly, incredibly comfortable, and feature just enough pattern to avoid looking like a backup dancer for Nicki Minaj (though we fully support that look).
F&F, £16
For those willing to take bigger risks with their leggings, Fabletics—co-founded by Kate Hudson (we’re fans of celebrity endorsements)—offers a wide variety, including different lengths for short or tall individuals.
Fabletics, £24 (special offer)
Go Bare with Confidence
The ’90s are fully back, and with the potential Spice Girls reunion, there’s no turning back. Be bold and embrace the trend with a sports crop top.
Of course, no fitness fashion blog would be complete without mentioning the iconic Ivy Park, co-founded by the legendary Beyoncé. This grey Ivy Park crop top checks all the boxes with its rose gold logo. There are even matching shorts if you want to go full Sasha Fierce.
Topshop, £20
But if you prefer reliable activewear, we’re also loving this Puma bra crop top exclusively at ASOS. Pastel tones, black accents, and mesh details—what’s not to love?
ASOS, £28
MOTIVATIONAL TOPS
When you’re drenched in sweat and feeling nauseous (sorry for the overshare), a motivational quote on your shirt can serve as a constant reminder to keep going, right? We adore this one from Sainsbury’s Tu range.
Tu, £12
This ‘Keep Up’ crop top from New Look will also pair perfectly with your new patterned leggings.
New Look, £9.99
