Struggling to get back to the gym? These colourful summer leggings will change your mind

Add some colour to your workout wardrobe.

It’s been weeks since we’ve been allowed back in the gym, but if you’re anything like us, you’ll have been spending more time enjoying espresso martinis than digging out your leggings and hitting a workout class.

It’s nothing some new activewear won’t fix however, and after 18 months of living in loungewear, the high street has really stepped up its game when it comes to leggings.

While black activewear is of course a gym staple, we’re loving the sorbet shades on offer this summer too. After all, fashion is heading for a renaissance of fun, colour and extravagance, and why shouldn’t we embrace it at yoga too?

We’re not talking OTT patterns (although there’s nothing wrong with that). Pastel shades are being embraced for practically every garment this summer, from picnic-ready dresses, to swimwear and now activewear.

Here are some of our favourites available on the high street now, featuring every colour of the rainbow to give you a boost while you work out.
