Having made a recent buy of ANOTHER pair of yoga pants, I am inclined to get back into shape. I know as a nation we have a mixed opinion on exercise as the thought of going out in the British weather is an experience we would all rather avoid, let alone going to the gym. Usually the reason we all decide to go to the gym is to shed the weight from the holidays, or to just be healthier. However, although it takes a fair bit of work to lose the weight, its been suggested that buying new gear has proved to be a strong motivation to get back into exercise. Therefore, luckily for you, I have researched a few amazing brands for sportswear, ranging from moderately cheap to fairly expensive, and I think I have found a few items to get you on your feet!

1. Nike Legend 2.0 Poly Tight Trousers – £39

Having looked at reviews and experienced these myself, these are the best yoga pants money can buy. Nike is a trusted brand that has produced good quality active-wear for all of us to squeeze our glutes in!

2. Missguided Active Strappy Cross Back Sports Bra – Grey – £10

I was skeptical about this collection because sportswear is becoming more popular throughout the fashion industry. Many brands are throwing out some active-wear in a bid to expand their range, but Missguided have got it spot on with their crazy patterns and motivational slogans. If it doesn’t motivate you, it will sure motivate someone else!

3. Sweaty Betty Motion Run Jersey Leggings – £70

Many designs of leggings for running or other exercises are usually quite plain, and so I was determined to find pairs that added a bit of pop to your gym workout.

4. Missguided Active Racer Back Train Dirty Gym Vest – £14

This was the best piece I found from the Missguided range, the top is the best fit as it shows off your body and the slogan shouts out the passion that people have for the gym.

5. NOKA OI OLA Printer Crossed Back Bra – £75

Selfridges have expanded their already multi-talented clothing ranges into sportswear, so some of us can look absolutely fabulous whilst working out. I chose this particular design as it expresses the present fashion trends into sportswear which doesn’t happen enough. Plus, you’d be the envy of the gym)!
