The athleisure trend is never far from the fashion spotlight and continues to look good season after season. You don’t need to be kitted out in gym-ready basics from top-to-toe to try this look, though – even just a small detail can bring a sporty twist to your outfit, as proven by Sara Davies.

The entrepreneur and TV star wowed while on 'This Morning' in a pair of black, wide-leg trousers which featured a red, racing-style stripe down the sides, which gave her outfit a sports-inspired aesthetic.

Styling them brilliantly by adding a smart blazer and some sculptured heels, the black base, complete with flashes of red, ticked off one of the key fashion colour trends of 2026 and made the right kind of style statement. And it’s a great high-meets-low look to emulate for a day at the office or cocktail hour.

As well as looking great, a contrast line down each leg will work as a clever illusion to make your silhouette appear taller.

The coloured seams are subtle, so they won't feel OTT with other prints too, so when it comes to styling your bottoms, you can wear your trousers with pretty much any tops.

Right now, try adding a classic Breton stripe t-shirt or a plain vest for a casual feel or to take your jazzy joggers to after hours, by adding heels and a silky black cami.
