Activewear bits for when you don’t want to be active

words Sophie Lou Wilson
Hands up if you’ve ever bought new sportswear with every intention of taking up running/cycling/gymming only to find yourself wearing it much more often on lazy Sundays when all you want to do is chill out in comfy clothes. From hoodies and track pants to sweatshirts and tees, it just so happens that a lot of activewear doubles up as cosy loungewear too.
Not to sound like your secondary school PE teacher, but exercise is good for you. That said, rest days are just as important and sometimes slipping into your softest trackies to stick on some Netflix is the best thing you can do for your mood. Comfy activewear is also perfect for days when you’re working from home and just want to put on something easy so you can focus on the tasks at hand.
But just because you’re relaxing, it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style. Bright colours, tie-dye and matching sets are all worth wearing either on the sofa or out and about. Shop our edit of the best activewear for relaxing in below.
