Unleash your wild side with our favourite leopard print activewear
Fashion trends come and go, but some have a timeless appeal that speaks to our soul no matter how many times they make a comeback. Obviously, leopard print is one of those.
This trending look has been a staple in the fashion world since 2023, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, if you ask this Fashion Editor, leopard prints are practically neutral at this point.
While we love our classic, timeless, and minimalist activewear, it may be time to push back on the classics and embrace some maximalism in our workout wardrobes.
Is leopard print in fashion?
Absolutely. While leopard print in the past flip-flopped between stylish and garish, it seems the fashion crowd have officially decided the print is here to stay. It's all about how you style it in order to make it truly timeless.
What colours go with leopard print?
The good thing about this print is that it can act as both a basic, neutral piece in your wardrobe or make a statement. Pair it with other classic tones for a subtle pop that feels timeless and versatile. Or, contrast it with bolder colourways like greens, blues, and reds. One of its best features is its ability to transition seamlessly between seasons. Simply throw on an oversized hoodie with your leopard trousers or leggings when it’s chilly, or rock a full leopard crop and short set on your next summer Hot Girl Walk.
The best leopard print activewear to add to your workout wardrobe
In true WH fashion, we are fully embracing all things wild this season and as we head into 2025, and below are our favourite pieces to do it with.
Active Racerback Zipper Top
Talking about leopard print without mentioning GANNI is like a leopard without its spots. We can't get enough of this chic racerback workout top to add some Scary Spice energy to our next trip to the gym.
Active Ultra High Waist Shorts
Complete the ensemble with, of course, the matching high-waisted shorts (with no front seam – hooray!), which are made from quick-drying materials for a comfortable and stylish workout.
327 Shoes
New Balance trainers are a cult favourite for a reason, and if you're after a more subtle pop of leopard in your outfits, this is the perfect choice. They share a similar vibe to the brand's collaboration with GANNI – ie, a match made in heaven – which is heartbreakingly sold out.
On-The-Go Medium Impact Sports Bra
A quality medium-support sports bra for more intense workouts, featuring a neon green pop of colour against the micro leopard print – love.
All Clear Cami
FP Movement's All Clear Cami's are one of our ultimate faves, and in a classic leopard print? We're obsessed.
Form High-Rise Pocket Legging 25"
Varley products are a luxury fave, and we're loving with this split from the brand's classic minimalist aesthetic with these bold statement leggings.
by Stella McCartney TrueNature Printed Mid Length Padded Winter Jacket
Take winter warmers to a whole new level with this adorable puffer from Adidas' collaboration with the iconic Stella McCartney. The striking colour combinations paired with the bold print make a serious statement – perfect for both the slopes and the streets.
Long Sleeve Downforce Active Top
From the trendy team at P.E Nation, this long-sleeved top features a flattering cropped cut and thumbhole sleeves to keep out the breeze. Made from an ultralight fabric, it allows for a full range of movement.
All Me Allover Print 7/8 Leggings
Warning: Adidas will feature heavily throughout this wrap because they produce just the right amount of leopard print kit. And by that we mean: a lot. If you're a bit bored of the classic neutral tones of leopard, this fuchsia hue adds a vibrant pop to the Pilates studio.
Hot Shot Printed Mini Dress
Okay, it's maybe not quite right for the current climate, but come spring and summer we will be repping workout dresses all day long. With inbuilt shorts and crop as well as oversized patchwork pockets, it's cute, functional and workout-ready.
by Stella McCartney Ultraboost Light Shoes
Ultraboost is a favourite silhouette from Adidas, and this style from their collaboration with Stella McCartney combines serious workout tech with eye-catching fashion points. The Ultraboost is perfect for city runners on roads and paths, as the lightweight BOOST sole provides energy return with every step.
Frill Scrunchie
Not quite ready for a full leopard-print ensemble? No worries. Add an animalistic pop to your gym kit with this versatile scrunchie, perfect for the gym, the office, or days out on the town.
Borg Fleece Jacket
Just as good on your brisk morning walks in the winter sunshine as it is dressing up for a day on the high street, this exclusive Barbour fleece jacket is a majorly versatile and stand-out piece.
x Wales Bonner Samba Trainer
If you haven't spotted these statement trainers on the feet of every It Girl worldwide, you may have been living under a rock. A major splurge, these limited-edition trainers from Adidas, made in collaboration with the iconic UK designer Wales Bonner, sent shockwaves through the fashion world and we're still drooling over them. They'll cost you a pretty penny though, starting at £756...
