Sporty luxe

Fashion is gearing up for the Olympics in London as designers take inspiration from the fast and furious world of sports for their spring-summer collections. Colourful athletic separates ruled the runways at Kenzo, and Alexander Wang's models sported mesh bombers and biker shorts with exposed zippers. Track pants also appeared at Lanvin, albeit a more elegant version. It isn't just sportswear: designers are using high-performance fabrics such as mesh to inject a cool, casual vibe into jackets and skirts.

To work this look outside the gym, make sure you pick the right colours and materials. Pick sporty shapes made from luxe fabrics, such as silk, for a high-fashion look. A pop of colour also does the trick; try colourful stripes or a fluorescent handbag. But leave your trainers at home - unless they are Isabel Marant's super styling high-tops.
