Sheer Delight: mesh is the new black

Sportswear and mesh seem to go hand in hand: not only is it a stylish way to upgrade your workout wardrobe and add a little va-va-voom, but it also helps with breathability, ventilation and movement. There’s no doubt that mesh is having a moment, and so many brands are finding amazing new ways to incorporate it into their pieces. Let’s take a look at the different ways to rock your mesh to your workout:

GO BOLD

Choose pieces with large mesh panels – whether it’s a bra, top or legging – to make a statement. A mesh top is a great way to show off your favourite bra underneath, because why hide it when it looks great? Whether you want to add a bit of va-va-voom to your outfit or want to use it for layering, mesh can make a bold statement!

ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS

Not quite feeling a strong sheer look? Then opt for subtler mesh detailing, which has an equally stylish effect, but without showing too much skin. Leggings with small mesh inserts like the Alala Take Sides capri, the mesh straps of Heroine’s X bra or Michi’s Kai tee are all modest yet make a huge impact.

MIX AND MATCH

Mesh and black are the perfect combo, no doubt, but mix it up a little with different prints, mesh effects and colours. Lexie’s Iris legging features a unique printed side panel along the legs, taking the art deco print to another level. Try white or nude mesh panels, as seen on Varley’s Lena legging or Olympia’s Naxos legging. Dare to experiment with different prints and colours!
