SUMMER: High-waisted boxing shorts
Whether you’re looking at Muay Thai rings or iconic 1980s films, high-waisted boxing shorts are a great way to introduce fun colour and bold graphics into your workout look. Originally made in shiny, but enduring synthetic shiny fabrics, the shorts are known for their silhouette that includes wide leg openings, an extra high waist and a thick, stretchy waistband.

This shape allows maximum mobility while providing coverage and some strong visual interest. There’s a wide selection of specialist pieces online, though different fashion and sports brands have definitely embraced the boxing shorts and created their own versions of them. For summer, wear it with a loose crop top or a sports bra in a contrasting colour.

AUTUMN: Bolero shrugs & capri leggings
Neither here nor there – that’s the alternative name for autumn! So instead of fighting against the uncertainty, embrace with pieces that look great layered but can easily be modified should the conditions change. Bolero shrugs, as seen on ballet dancers and cheery aerobics instructors around the world, are an easy addition that instantly elevates your classic gym look. They can be easily removed and added and, when worn in a contrasting or tonal colour, can have strong visual impact.
