Activewear is to fashion what democracy is to the government. Remember that.
Both are inherent to the ‘Strayan way of life, comfortable AF, timeless and make us look better than we are. So, why wouldn’t you live forever in black tights and sneakers? Because it’s not FARSHUN? Because gym gear isn’t meant for outside the gym? Pls people, wake up to yourselves. Parodies, be damned – activewear IS FARSHUN. Here’s your ticket to wearing it stylishly all summer long courtesy of Julie Stevjana, CEO and co-founder of Stylerunner, showing us how to expertly incorporate the latest activewear trends into four quintessential summer activities.
ACTIVITY #1 – GOING TO THE BEACH
Julie says: “This feminine, floral-print paddle suit by THE UPSIDE is heaven!
Throw on with a pair of Adidas ‘adilettes’ and Local Supply sunglasses, and a water bottle to stay hydrated in the heat.”

Paddle Suit – The Upside Paddle Suit
Drink – OVI Hydration

ACTIVITY #2 – HITTING THE GYM
Julie says: “My favourite trainers to hit the gym at the moment is the Nike Zoom Agility. It has a hexagonal ‘pod’ sole for bursts of movement in any direction which is great for HIIT style workouts like F45, Crossfit or Tabata.
I cant help gravitate towards a chic print tight like the THE UPSIDE ‘Safari Palm’ print tight which I tone down with a slouchy grey tank. A peek of pop colour crop in contrast to your tights adds a confident and interesting element.”

ACTIVITY #3 – HEADING INTO THE CITY (READ: TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE) ETC.
Julie says: “If you don’t know who Melody Ehsani is – you should! Her collaborations with Reebok are so cool that I’m willing to wear them head to toe. The monochrome print is still really on point, and pairing it back with a fleece trainer like the Nike Cortez, finishes off the laid back look.
This is not for the fainthearted, but definitely a lot of fun and comfy too!”

Julie says: “If you need new activewear but you know should be saving, look no further than adidas Stella Sport (a young, fun diffusion line of Adidas by Stella McCartney. Also, Australian label Nimble Activewear delivers active style on a budget. The colours [of this look] are crisp and clean enough to team them back with any sneaker in your wardrobe.”
