Sports Day

Jacket: Pull and Bear
Leggings: River Island
Sports Bra: La Redoute
Shoes: Nike for Urban Outfitters
Bag: Primark 

I really like this trend for pseudo-sports wear becoming perfectly acceptable daywear, but I do find it strange how, up until quite recently, it was considered the stereotypical look of the 'chav'. Although its origins conjure up images of thirteen year old anarchists causing unadulterated havoc by smoking fags outside the school gates, it's current association is more urban cool.

The trend has been slowly filtering down from the catwalk to the high street, and the now autumn/winter 2014 is set to be a blur of 'go faster' stripes, racer backs and sneakers.

One big bonus about this trend is comfort - it usually centres around leggings, hoodies and trainers, which makes for a nice break from squeezing into skinny jeans and stomping around in clumpy heels. It doesn't have to be figure hugging, it can light and loose, which helps in the hot (ish) weather we're getting.

And if you do fancy going for a jog or hitting the gym, you're already dressed. No excuses...

(I should mention that I found this look hard to accessorise. It turns out that I was just one gold necklace away from Vicky Pollard.)
