Limited Edition camo print Scultura Activewear leggings and crop top made from recycled plastic bottles.
What: Scultura Activewear Camufarre leggings

Opt for the matching crop top for a complete look.

Enduro Deep Waistband 3-4 Leggings in Summer Mirage Print from BAM.
What: Enduro Bamboo (summer mirage) leggings from BAM Bamboo Clothing
Why: This is one of our favourite activewear brands at the moment.

These deep waisted 3/4 length ones, in summer mirage print, are so lovely you’ll want to wear them all the time.
Price: £49
Nagnata X Woolmark merino wool Laya Rib leggings.

Merino wool is renowned for being temperature regulating, 100% biodegradable - and it doesn’t release microplastics when washed, unlike synthetic activewear.
