Preview AW17: Back to the Gym
September is that month when you are back from holidays and you renew your gym membership or you start a new fitness regime. With so much offering from lots of brands it has never been so stylish going to the gym or for a yoga session. I've picked few items from my press views.
*In Store* Put all your essentials in this great quilted Daroegel duffel bag by Aldo Shoes. Its dark grey colour will be tough on stains and it is perfect for a week end away as well. It is very roomy for your gym essentials included a bath towel and shower products. www.aldoshoes.com
*In Store* I've got one and I can't live without it. The Kew Sprig Fruit water bottle by Cath Kidston will make you prepare infused water to bring with you when exercising or doing pilates or yoga. In the chamber inside the bottle you put fresh mint leaves, lime wedges, ginger roots, slices of apples or strawberries or any kind of fruit and vegetable you fancy. Fill the bottle with water and put it in the fridge overnight. The day after you've got your own personal recipe of infused water. www.cathkidston.com
*In Store* Going to the gym doesn't mean that you need to stretch your credit card on clothing. F & F Active at Tesco has got a range of fitness wear very stylish and you've got Clubcard points as well. The leggings have got a zipped pocket on the side where you can store your locker's key. The vest is 60% cotton with racerback and the quilted gilet is great to be layered over a sweat shirt when you leave the gym. www.tesco.com
*In store* The choice of trainers is endless and there are shops completely dedicated to them. Among the great selection I've put my eyes on these Gola Classic Harrier made in burgundy leather and with rose gold detail of the metallic underlay that it is visible through the upper in suede. Gola has been making trainers for more than 100 years so I trust it with my feet. www.gola.co.uk
*Not Yet* Look out for this gorgeous purple range of active wear by Joules. It is the first time that this company is coming out with something like this and I can say that the result is great. The fabric is excellent, the patterns and colours chosen are amazing. You can see here a pair of leggings, a tank top and a crop top with racerback. Check online and in store to see when they will be available. www.joules.com
*In Store* Ready for a yoga session with this set by Manduka, specialised in yoga mat and you can see a nice specimen being a background for this leggings and bra set. The wrap up leggings in digital flower pattern are made of recycled polyester and lycra like the cross strap bra. Look for a store near you at www.manduka.com
*In Store* Wearing something nice at the gym pushes ourselves to make an effort while exercising. It seems that we perform better if dressed with a nice kit. This ensemble is by the Fitwear range at Marc Cain. The mesh top is great for layering if you feel conscious of wearing just a crop top. The leggings and lightweight blouson have this floral pattern that can be found in other items as well as a backpack. www.marc-cain.com
*In Store* It is compulsory when taking a shower at any gym, to wear a pair of flip flops. It will prevent you from slipping and from catching some nasties. These gorgeous flip flops are by Reef Escape from their Reef Escape Lux Print. Made of soft cushion rubber, PVC free, they are designed with an anatomical arch support. Unless you live in Canada or USA you can buy these beauties online at www.reef.com
*In Store* Remember to wear some lingerie that supports your body. This Beyond Naked set by Wacoal is perfect. Available either in black or nude, the bra is not wired giving comfort while doing movements. www.wacoallingerie.com
