'I'm a fashion editor and these are chic fitness and wellness pieces on my wish list this Christmas'
One of the many wonderful things about being the Fashion Features Editor at Women's Health is that my job lets me write, read, and learn all about my two very favourite things in the world: fashion and fitness.
And as much as I love looking after my well-being, I also love feeling my best while doing so—whether it's wearing a comfortable, flattering set at the gym that makes me work harder, or a new pair of trainers or rainproof puffer that tempts me to venture out despite the weather. The myriad of accessories on the market truly makes my heart sing.
So, it’s safe to say my Christmas list this year is long and extensive (if you know me, please forward this article to my partner for a subtle hint).
And considering Christmas is rapidly approaching - no seriously how is it mid-November - you may be starting to ramp up the festive shopping yourself. So if you're shopping for the fashion-forward fitness fanatic in your life and are stuck at a loss for what to treat them to, you have come to the right place.

The best fashion-forward fitness and wellness gifts to buy this Christmas 2024
Foxy Sherpa Jacket
Look, I could sing the praises of Alo's outerwear for days, but instead I'll let their celeb fans do it for me. Spotted on the likes of Kylie Jenner, Posh Spice, Bella Hadid, Jamie Chung and more - it's no wonder the brands officially at cult status.
This Christmas I have my eyes on this cosy and comfy fleece hooded jacket that would be an everyday staple in my winter wardrobe.
Gel Kayano-14 Sneakers
We've officially bridged the gap between gym shoes and everyday trainers, so the gift of an adorably versatile pair that looks as good on the treadmill as they do on the high street are a worthy gift. Personally I'm loving the buttercream, baked pink and duck egg blue tones of this ASICS collab with Free People - too cute!
Sculpt Pink Crop Vest Top
At just over £30, this bubblegum pink vest top brightens up even the dreariest of winter days for your next gym outfit. Made from a silky soft material and built-in bra, it feels as good to wear as it looks.
Jeremy Baseball Cap Letterman
A chic cap can take you from the gym to the pub for a football match, on your next park walk, or even to the office when your hair’s one too many days past wash day.
Warm Running Leggings in DryMove™
If you’re shopping for a runner, a pair of warm, winter-ready leggings that help them keep their Strava updated, even in the most temperamental weather, makes for a thoughtful (and affordable) gift.
Mafate Speed 4
I'm in my trail running era so have these comfy beauties from Hoka on my Christmas list this year. They have responsive cushioning for when you're battling tough terrain but still allow you to feel the floor while you run.
Green Gold Original Huggie Earrings
Since stumbling upon Bijoux De Mimi on my FYP I have become completely obsessed. These adorable huggies are the perfect way to add some glitter and sparkle to any outfit, and they're small and discreet enough to wear to the gym without concern. While I am more of a maximalist who leans towards statement pieces, these are hard to pass over.
Paris Slogan Oversized Hoodie
An oversized hoodie is always tres chic, 4th & Reckless' high-quality materials and timeless designs are a wishlist item year-round.
X PROENZA SCHOULER Caribou Chelsea Boot
SOREL is renowned for its quality outdoor footwear that keeps your feet dry, comfortable, and happy year-round. They recently collaborated with luxury fashion brand Proenza Schouler to create a more elevated take on their signature style and these chunky beauties are practically begging to be a new addition to your footwear lineup.

by Stella McCartney TruePurpose Printed Shine Crop
adidas' collaboration with Stella McCartney is still going strong and it perfectly encapsulates both brands with style and substance. Think bright colours, unique materials and statement silhouettes that will make you the belle of the... gym?
ONE RAVER BLUE
Honestly, since the first time I tried a pair ofR.A.D ONE's, I knew I was hooked. These gym shoes are designed for CrossFit so they're just as supportive on the treadmill as they are in the weight section. They're supremely comfortable and it doesn't hurt they look good too. I've been living in my Sunset Pink pair and now have my sights set on another.
Socks
Okay yes, historically a pair of socks has never been a winning gift, But considering these beauties are spun in Portugal using premium fabrics, come in an array of colours and are perfect for keeping your toes warm in your winter boots, we'll allow it.
QuietComfort Headphones
The gift of quality audio will make any gym session your very own party with Bose's QuietComfort headphones that provide insane noise cancellation, up to 24 hours of battery, comfortable design for all-day wear and come in seven different colourways to suit your mood. Want to take it up a notch? Opt for the luxurious QuietComfort Ultra.
Basic Compressive Ankle-Length Leggings
A pair of compressive leggings is a must in any fitness fanatic's wardrobe. Don't pay excessive amounts as this simple yet effective pair from Oysho is under £40.
x GANNI Leopard Print Waxed Jacket
If you want to splash out on your special someone, we've been obsessing over GANNI's collab with UK-heritage label Barbour and this leopard print waxed jacket will be encouraging plenty of countryside walks this winter.
Tonal Isabel Oversized Hoodie
An oversized hoodie will never go astray over Christmas and Blakely's Isabel silhouette is the perfect crop, fabric and price for a useful festive gift.
All Clear Solid Cami
These best-selling cami's are best-selling for a reason. Not only are they comfortable and breathable for tough workouts, but they're uber-flattering, come in so many colours I actually gave up counting and are under £30!
Joy Jersey
Gift thoughtfully this Christmas and embrace the jersey top trend with this charity top from Vyrao that donates 100% off profits to children’s mental health charity Place2Be.

Pearl Check Puffer
The design for this puffer is literally blowing me away, it has removable sleeves... Talk about versatility! Brave the winds for your early morning walk in style with a high neck, sustainable fill and internal pockets. Remove the sleeves once the weather starts to warm for a stylish gilet.
Gym Bag
I don't think we've ever seen a gym bag so chic, and we've seen a lot of stylish gym bags! Carry all of your gym essentials safely and securely with so many internal organisers I can't even begin to name them, as well as yoga straps and handy inclusions like jewellery and mirror pouches for after-work gym goers.
Bangles 0.45kg/1lb Wrist and Ankle Weights
A pair of stylish wrist and ankle weights can make a workout of any activity. Strap them on as you clean the house, walk around the block or do your usual at-home Pilates routine for added burn.
Leather Military Ankle Boots
Another splurge item but these Italian-made, real leather hiking boots will become a permanent fixture to your feet this winter. With a Vibram Vi-Lite track sole to keep you steady and nylon lace and hook details, they're a worthy spend.
Galle Towels
Already looking forward to summer? Yea, us too. Gift the water baby in your life with an elegant beach towel for their vacation bag so they can look forward to sunnier days.
Santos Bottom in Taormina
I'm an Australian who has not touched the ocean in over a year so when I say I am jumping at the bit to embrace Euro summer next year, I'm not kidding. I will be marking the occasion by investing in a new bikini from Aussie label Bydee that is perfect for the vibes.
Aurea Rainbow Tennis
For a special occasion, you can treat your loved one to a bedazzled tennis bracelet that is sweat-proof so they can wear it 24/7.
The Dual Zip Jumper
With an ever so slightly sporty track jacket vibe, this cardigan/jumper is never coming off these holidays.
