The Ganni x Lululemon collection works from treadmill to coffee date – the leopard print designs and playful ruffles are so chic
Here are the designs worth shopping...
If you can't remember the last time you felt excited at the prospect of getting ready for the gym, the Ganni x Lululemon collaboration is here to change that. Launched today, the 22-piece collection, which is inspired by the 1980s, is fun, elevated, and fashion-forward. So much so, it's perfect for going from workout sessions to coffee dates with friends.
Lululemon is already a go-to brand for the best workout leggings as well as all sorts of sporty fashion finds with a focus on performance, flattering fits and stylish athleisure wear, and Ganni is renowned for its signature Scandinavian style. You might recognise Ganni best by its bold prints (notably leopard), bright colours and playful design details such as ruffles, oversized collars and puff sleeves.
This collaboration combines both strengths of each brand, and although neither is new to collaborations, this one feels particularly exciting, merging function with playful fashion details. It's full of pieces that will take you from a sunrise fitness class to running errands. Personal favourites of mine include the leopard print leggings, the wool-blend bolero and the grey soft pullover.
If you thought gym leggings had to be neutral, think again. These tights combine a statement leopard print with a playful ruffled trim whilst the satiny sweat-wicking fabric offers a stretchy finish and quick drying. Practical and stylish, what's not to love?
For chilly autumn mornings, a cosy pullover is the answer, and not just on gym days. It is made from Lululemon's signature Softstreme fabric; it has a slouchy, relaxed cut and a voluminous bubble hem. Pair with the matching barrel-leg pants for a coordinated look.
I know it's not strictly fashion, but this water bottle is a statement accessory in itself. Featuring Ganni's iconic leopard print and bold logo, it's far more exciting than your average water bottle. Pair it with the leopard print tights and zip-up jacket for a matching look.
Perfect for pairing with high-waisted gym leggings, this leopard print top will add personality to your current rotation. It's made from lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric that's a signature of Lululemon. It also has plenty of stretch to keep you comfortable whilst you move.
This jacket gives a sporty staple a more fashion-forward feel with its tactile texture and subtle ruffles that set it apart from your classic zip-up. Not only will this work whilst on the route to the gym, but you can pair it with your best wide-leg jeans on the weekends.
This merino wool bolero is a clever layering piece that will add warmth and elevate your workout outfits. Its cropped silhouette makes it ideal for throwing over your best sports bra or gym top when temperatures dip, and it would also work just as well over a sleeveless tank top or vest.
This zip-up jacket is a little bit more elevated than classic neutral designs with its rich brown and baby pink shades. Wear it zipped up with the matching leggings for a polished workout look.
Channelling the iconic 80s aerobics style, these textured pants bring a playful twist to relaxed dressing. The loose silhouette makes them ideal for heading to a workout, long travel days or weekend coffee runs. They come in either ivory or black.
A small yet stylish addition to your workout wear these grip socks will see you through pilates or yoga in style. They feature sweet frilled details across the bands and the set comes in three neutral colourways.
Our woman&home Health Editor Grace Walsh says. "I love this leopard print, 80s-inspired collection. In it, you'll find the same performance, sweat-friendly fabrics as Lululemon has in their best workout leggings, tops, and jackets, just with a more stylish edge."
"If I were to invest in one piece, it would be the Define Ruffle-Trim jacket, with its stylish cropped fit, versatile two-way zip, and breathable materials; it's a great investment for anything from a casual walk to a dance workout."
