Working out is beneficial for the mind, body and spirit, but sometimes it is difficult to say no to Netflix and yes to getting moving - until now. Homegrown, female-owned activewear brand L'Couture has released its mood-boosting Energy collection and it is a sure-fire way to get you excited about going to the gym.
The L'Couture Energy collection features three sets, each of which comprises cycling shorts and an asymmetric sports bra, and is available in three colourways: honeysuckle, a bubbly fuchsia; Ibiza blue; and lime, a sunshine-yellow hue. The weightless pieces are not only ultra-flattering, but have sweat-wicking, quick-dry properties to ensure you stay dry throughout your workout (and the brutal Middle Eastern summer).
If you lean more towards the leisure side of athleisure, worry not. The buttery soft fabric is comfortable enough for day-to-day errands (even if that involves the aforementioned Netflix binge); take inspiration from the street-style set and team cycling shorts with an oversized sweatshirt or boyfriend blazer. Given the pandemic-induced work-from-home situation that has occurred over the past 18 months, underwire has become our foe. Luckily, L'Couture's Energy sports bra marries comfort, support and style with its asymmetric design and supple material, making it appropriate for both tough workouts and easy evenings. We'll see you in the gym! Shop the L'Couture Energy collection in-store and online.
