Last week I teamed up with British sportswear brand Sweaty Betty to shoot their new Sports Luxe collection, launched in time for London Fashion Week. I met the team in their flagship boutique off Carnaby Street to talk through the range over healthy smoothies and breakfast muffins from the Detox Kitchen, before choosing a couple of pieces to style and take home.
The new capsule collection is their most fashion-forward line yet, featuring monochrome floral prints, soft textured marls and premium fabrics in contemporary, sporty shapes, suitable for the gym, post-workout drinks and casual weekends. My favourite piece was the Garden Luxe Trousers, decorated with a bold statement print inspired by the beautiful blooms at Kew Gardens, in a multitude of versatile
grey tones to go with my usual black and white workout gear. The fabric is sweat-wicking and they're uber-comfortable, with a ruched elasticated waistband and handy pockets.
The grey shades look great with a pop of neon colour, like the coral pink Stamina Sports Bra or Mukha Yoga Vest and layered with this soft hooded Pas De Deux Dance Knit with pointelle details. Check out the full collection and their blog feature for more.
