Fashion, What I Wore

What I Wore: Club Camilla

5th January, 2022

As someone who strives to exercise most days of the week, I’m loving the fact that many of my favourite brands are releasing exercise lines. The new kid on the block is Camilla. While the brand is known for its beautiful, colourful kaftans, their new athleisure range is the perfect combination of vibrant prints and comfy silhouettes, and this pairing is already a fave.

One thing I can’t get enough of right now are bike pants. Who would’ve thought they’d make such a triumphant comeback! While a solid colour is practical, I love the fact the mosaic print used on these shorts ups the vibrancy and gives them a little more personality. Great workout gear is always a big motivator and these shorts are sure to be in high rotation. This vintage look t-shirt and sweatshirt is reminiscent of Princess Diana’s iconic gym looks, which is right on trend! I love how the crisp white plays against the bright blue of the shorts, allowing the colour to pop.

While this combination works well, the true test is how comfy it actually is and I can attest to the fact that I could do a big workout in this outfit. But the best bit is it translates well to going out to pick up a coffee or grab breakfast afterwards, so it definitely ticks the style and substance box.

It’s amazing to think just how far activewear has come over the last few years. Remember when heading to the gym meant finding an old tee and a simple pair of leggings? These days the clothes available for working out are seriously fashion forward. This probably explains why activewear often sneaks its way into our casual wardrobe and is worn out and about and as far away from a treadmill as possible! From designer threads to old sports favourites such as Nike and Adidas there are so many on stylish options that you’ll be jumping aboard the athleisure trend in no time.

Check out some of my top picks for updating your activewear wardrobe below:

 

Printed shorts

These bright shorts are ideal for a major sweat session.

Black tights

You can never go wrong with a pair of classic black tights. Love the tie finish on this pair.

Cut-out top

Think beyond the humble tee. There’s plenty of great workout tops these days with interesting finishes.

Pastel jacket

Elevate your workout topper to this pastel bomber. The best bit is it’s so chic that it can easily make its way into your regular wardrobe.

Sneakers

Whether you’re after a pair of sneakers that are bright, all-black, white or with a simple colour accent such as this pair, the humble trainer has well and truly become a fashion staple.

Patterned sports bra

The boring ol’ sports bra is a thing of the past. There are so many interesting prints available these days you’ll find it difficult to choose one.

Printed backpack

Who needs a plain bag? Carry all your gym gear in style in this stylish Stella McCartney for Adidas backpack.

2-in-1 top

Clever design means that you can often find sportswear with built-in sports bras to make dressing for a workout a cinch.

Statement leggings

Venture into adventurous territory and try out a pair of statement leggings. The bolder the print the better!

Matching set

You can’t go past a cute matching sports bra and leggings set for the ultimate in chic workout gear.
