Hailing from the experts in casual-cool, from New Balance and adidas Originals to Puma, these are the top five laid-back staples you can’t be without...
1. The Cool-Down Jacket
From your door to the car, to brunch, as well as being great
for outdoor activities, this lightweight outer layer is an autumn-to-spring
essential. It works double duty too – zip it up after a workout to keep your
muscles warm and reduce injury. This Nike style is one of our favourites, or reach for this adidas Originals version for a bit of colour.
2. The Sweatshirt
All the sports-lifestyle brands are have them this season –
a dense, round-neck sweatshirt with a loopback interior is the cosy solution to
off-duty dressing. Whether you choose a plain, single-colour design or tap into
the season’s love of logos, it’s just the right amount of ‘90s cool, and will
go with sweat pants, shorts or relaxed denim. This adidas Originals style is an absolute classic.
3. Trackpants
Days that begin with ‘S’ demand softer, more comfortable
materials and relaxed cuts. Enter trackpants. Coming in a range of sleek fits,
there’s nothing sloppy about the latest versions. Take your pick from tapered,
cuffed styles to straight-leg classics. Upgrade your collection with this camo pair.
4. The Tee(s)
When your T-shirt collection has seen better days, there’s no
hiding it. Keep your look fresh with crisp new short and long-sleeved styles in
breathable cotton blends. Our current favourites are sealed with a logo, like Fila's.
5. Sneakers (obviously)
Did we even need to say this one? The newest designs just
keep getting better and better. Top of our wishlist are these retro-style classics. Futuristic pairs, remakes from the archives,
whatever your signature style, there are sneakers to match.
