White activewear for women: how to wear white without thinking about it

White is the colour most people want and fewest dare. The fear is always the same: that it will turn sheer, that it will get dirty, that it will look like underwear. None of that has to be true. It comes down to the fabric, the cut and choosing the right piece for the right day. Here are our whites, and how to wear them.

Do white leggings turn sheer?

Only if the fabric is thin. Iconic White Leggings are made in a stretchy performance fabric with four-way stretch that is squat proof, meaning opaque even when the fabric is under tension. The high sculpted waist holds you in, the heart-shaped cut at the back shapes, and the gold ombre pattern along the legs makes the leggings look intentional, not bare. A key loop at the front. They work for yoga, running and the gym, and just as much as everyday leggings under a long top.

Which white pieces are there for tennis and padel?

Slimline White Court Skirt is the skirt for the court. Built-in shorts with pockets on both sides for balls, keys and cards. A high elastic waist that keeps the stomach in place, black contrast panels at the sides that define the silhouette and gold piping along the edges. It is made for tennis, padel and golf, and for days when sport meets everyday life.

What do you wear on the beach and in the heat?

Athletic Shorts White and Athletic Tube Top White are the holiday set. The shorts sit close to the body without pulling, in a soft performance fabric that dries quickly after a swim. The tube top has a double layer over the bust and a fitted shape that marks the waist. You can swim in it. Together they take minimal space in the bag and work from the beach to dinner, under a blazer.

Is there white loungewear?

Deluxe Hoodie White and Deluxe Joggers White are the weekend set. The hoodie is thick with a brushed inside, a lined hood with drawstring, a large front pocket and an embroidered logo in gold and deep red on the chest. The joggers are tapered towards the cuff, with gold zips on the pockets and Deluxe embroidery at the hems. They do not hang, they sit. The joggers run small, go up one size.

How do you wear white with black?

It is the simplest combination there is, and it looks considered. Slimline FlexFlow Black/White are black sculpting leggings with white piping along the legs, for you who want white as a detail rather than a base. W-Crew Sock White is the sock for every pair of black leggings and white sneakers, at the right crew height, with a cushioned sole. White leggings with a black top, and white socks with black leggings. Just change which piece is white.

How do you keep white white?

Wash it with other whites, never with black. Inside out, low temperature, and hang it up straight away. Skip the tumble dryer. Better to wash once too often than to leave a stain overnight.

Which size should you choose?

Your usual, with two exceptions. Deluxe Joggers: one size up. Athletic Shorts are true to size and sit close to the body, choose your usual if you want them as pictured.
