2. Stella McCartney having recently launched Spring/Summer 2015 collection, celebrated ten years of sports performance with Adidas.

The apparel stands out for the sleekness of their execution and advanced technologies, from running tights lined in ultra-fine fleece, insulating base layers, to short puffer jackets, lightweight and breathable enough to be worn while on a jog.

You can also mix them with ready to wear clothing. As Rowley put it: “Think about dressing for fitness the same way you think about dressing for any other event.” We couldn’t agree more.
