Whether you want sports bras or leggings, Healthista’s Vicky Hadley has found the best, comfiest and most fashionable gym wear for autumn
The outfits were trialled and tested for you at different workout classes including yoga, kick boxing and gym sessions. We know how annoying it is to keep pulling up leggings during a workout or find yourself sweating in that ‘light weight’ jacket so here are our high-performing, favourite Autumn must haves.
Sports Bras
The stunning sports bras we have chosen for the review are from Roxy, Every Second Counts, Illu and Style Sportif.
The Laurie Nouchka – Bishopsgate sports bra is the perfect crop for Autumn, with it’s urban style and aztec pattern it was love at first sight. At the top and bottom of the sports bra it hosts a small, delicate city life design which mixes well with the bold, bright colours that flood the top.
Available from Style Sportif for £65
We have always been a fan of Roxy’s gorgeous gym range but we simply couldn’t include just part of Roxy’s gym wear, so we have included a complete outfit from Roxy’s range. With adjustable straps to fit all sizes and a quick drying material we can’t get enough of this gorgeous india – ink sports bra.
Available from Roxy for £37.00
The coral and purple sports bra from Every Second Counts is a must have. The details of the crop employ a flattering and eye catching design that you simply wouldn’t want to hide under a layer. Although the sports bra doesn’t offer a thick support it is tight fitting leaving you feeling very secure.

Ilu’s soft grey sports bra is a subtle yet beautiful option for your workout wardrobe. It offers extra support thanks to its double-straps and removable padding. The crop looks stunning as an all in one with the matching leggings we have also included or on it’s own. The gentle pattern on the front of the sports bra enhances the femininity and attraction of the crop.

This gorgeous tight fitting training top is perfect for the Autumn months. Keeping you warm enough to bare the cold but cool enough not to overheat.

The seamless jacket, although not necessarily meant to pair with the grey pattern sports bra and leggings, looks perfect combined with them. The jacket has a ruching effect down the centre of the front and back of the jacket which gives it a slimming and attractive look. The zip line is a coral colour giving the jacket a gorgeous burst of neon.
