Gymshark is my all-time favourite retailer to shop athleisure and loungewear – same, same really, right?
The brand prides itself on high quality, supportive and comfortable fabrics, that hug the body in the right places, provide a secure fit, but also look chic without costing the earth. I adore the range of t-shirts, purely because I prefer a loose fit tee to layer over a sports bra and leggings for coverage. The sports bras are ultra comfortable, as are the shorts, layering items, and, of course, the leggings.
I have tried and tested a variety of leggings over the years, including some from Gymshark, which I have worn to lounge around the home, run errands, work from home in, as well as wear to workout in – and still going strong. So I was pleased to hear Gymshark was expanding its range of leggings, which I consider more affordable than other rival brands.
Gymshark's latest addition to its ever-expanding and bestselling Vital collection is the Vital Sculpt Leggings.
The Vital Sculpt Leggings are a refined version of the iconic Vital leggings, which are known for providing support and comfort no matter the activity. Suffice to say the Vital Sculpt line has big boots to fill, but we believe in Gymshark. More Trending
The new Vital Sculpt leggings have been designed from a new ultra-soft second-skin fabric, which has an improved stretch and snap-back technology. This means the design will fit your body perfectly, stay in place, even after hundreds of wear. The new creation also features a secure waistband to sculpt and support the body, without digging in or slipping down during your class.
The Vital Sculpt range includes the classic fitted leggings, in both regular and slim fit, as well as a flared design, shorts and sports bras.
The new Vital Sculpt Leggings come in solid black and red, which you can mix or match with the Vital Seamless tops.
Whether you are heading to a Pilates class, completing a HIIT session at the gym, a cross-country run, or maybe you're aiming for the recommended 10k steps, these may just be the best pair of leggings to see you through all activities, seasons and years to come.
A classic pair of leggings to see you through all occasions.The new design has been crafted from a blend of nylon and elastane fabric, which claims to be softer and stretchier than the original version, plus it's breathable and sweat-wicking too. The design features glute scrunch, as well as contouring detail around the glutes and thighs to accentuate your assets. The waistband is elasticated and cinches in your frame, while also ensuring it doesn't slide down mid-squat. The seamless design offers more comfort as it prevents any seams chafing. This high waisted design offers a regular fit, comes in sizes XXS to XXL, as well as four colourways, including the new black and red options. BUY NOW FOR £50
While the title sounds the same as the former, Gymshark has created a slim fit of the new Vital Sculpt Seamless Leggings for a snug fit. Crafted from the same nylon and elastane fabric blend, these leggings offer the same scrunch glute detail, high waist band to hug the body, and contour panels around the glutes and thighs for a sculpted finish like the regular fit design. The seamless design is also breathable and moisture wicking, so you can wear in the summer months and still feel comfortable. Available in four colours, including red, black, blue and grey, all of which come in sizes XXS to XXL. BUY NOW FOR £50
Typically we see Pilates girlies sporting flared leggings, but they are suitable for off-duty everyday wear, as well as other activities. The main difference is, of course, the flared hem instead of the figure hugging style.The Vital Sculpt Seamless Flared Leggings have been crafted from the same nylon and elastane blend, which is seamless, ultra-soft, and supportive. Available in three colours, grey, black and red, as well as sizes XXS to XXL. BUY NOW FOR £50
If you're on the hunt for comfortable and supportive shorts, Gymshark has launched exactly that. Made using the same nylon and elastane fabric blend as the Vital Sculpt Seamless Leggings, which offer the necessary stretch, support and coverage. It boasts a high waist, glute scrunch, contour panels on the glutes and thighs, as well as a thick waistband to support the wearer, and prevent any movement when workout out.Available in four colours, grey marl, blue, black and red, all of which come in sizes XXS to XXL. Perfect for all sports, and ideal for summer months too. BUY NOW FOR £38

The new Mango collection screams summer dressing - all we need is warm weather
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Mango has collaborated with some big names in recent years, including Victoria Beckham, and now British-Indian designer Supriya Lele. The new collaboration is giving us all the summer vibes as it features bold silhouettes, feminine cuts, sheer fabrics, as well as a blend of neutral tones and pops of vibrant colours. The website reads: 'In this collaboration with the renowned British-Indian designer, the dreamlike essence of warm summer nights in the city sets the stage for a contemporary tapestry where diverse influences merge. The collection reflects Supriya Lele's vision of femininity – bold and unapologetic – through sheer fabrics, statement dresses, sensual detailing, and a vibrant palette.' Sheer skirts have been hugely popular in recent months, so we are pleased to see the collection include the on-trend design in a puddle maxi skirt, as well as maxi dress. With the summer holidays just around the corner, the selection of standout swimwear is a must for an upcoming vacation. More Trending Plus, the collection features modern twists on classic staples, such as cut out leggings, ruched mini dresses with layered detail, or feathered hemlines. Whether you are shopping for new wardrobe staples, such as leggings, tank tops or evening-appropriate body suits to pair with jeans or trousers, or you are shopping chic eveningwear for any lavish events, this collection has it all. From clothing to footwear and accessories, Mango has covered all bases with its latest collection. We have curated our favourite picks below to help with your shopping spree. The capsule is limited edition, and only available to shop exclusively from Mango. This glamorous dress is red-carpet worthy. Crafted from polyester, with a polyester and elastane lining, this maxi dress drapes over the body elegantly. The bodice provides a secure fit, which contrasts the fluidity of the maxi skirt. It boasts cut out details, as well as a partially open back with cowl-style lower back detailing. BUY NOW FOR £199.99 This sheer skirt boasts a maxi length, and low-rise waist. What we love about this maxi skirt is the vertical seam running down the skirt, as well as the ruffle detail in the centre, which adds another dimension and texture to the classic slip skirt. Pair with a slip underneath for more coverage, layer over swimwear or your underwear if you're feeling brave. Pair with a tank top, satin shirt, oversize T-shirt, ruffle blouse or blazer, depending on the occasion. BUY NOW FOR £79.99 Heading to a beach club this summer? This is the perfect swimsuit for bandeau style avoids any pesky tan lines, while the cross detail adds a bit of character. The swimsuit boasts a low front, but high rise brief at the back for fuller cover. We also love the metallic bright blue fabric, which matches the blue sky and dazzling ocean we will wear this one piece to swim in. BUY NOW FOR £59.99 We live in leggings all day long. While we would say we don't need another pair, we don't have a cut out waist design, so, yes, we do need these. This design gives the illusion you are wearing a low rise pair of leggings with your underwear hanging out the top, which was all the craze circa the noughties. BUY NOW FOR £59.99 This satin crop top is a must looks ultra luxurious and is versatile enough to wear on its own with jeans, high waisted trousers or a slip skirt, though it can also be layered under a sheer blouse, dress, or blazer. BUY NOW FOR £35.99 A satin slip skirt is a failsafe wardrobe essential and has been since 2018, or thereabout. The viscose fabric allows the fabric to flow seamlessly down the body, while the elasticated waist ensures the skirt stays in offers a mid-rise waist and midi length, though it falls just under the knees, which is shorter than other midi skirts we own. We love the pearlescent hue, which will pair beautifully with the matching Crop Top, with an oversize T-shirt, shirt, or blazer. BUY NOW FOR £49.99 From the halterneck, the open back, to the cowl neck, this bodysuit is uber flattering for all body shapes. It boasts a press-stud fastening at the back of the nape to avoid any excess fabric from tickling your back and to achieve a seamless silhouette from the back. Pair with jeans, white high waisted trousers, the sheer skirt in the collection, and anything in between. BUY NOW FOR £49.99 We predict this may be the sell-out item of the entire collection because it is chic, effortless, versatile and oh-so boasts a wrap halterneck, draped neckline and maxi length, which falls into a small puddle on the floor that is ultra elegant – and perfect for the tall girlies. The sheer gauze fabric complements the straight cut of this dress as it flows down the body without being too figure hugging and sheer dress can be layered over underwear, swimwear, or a slip, depending on the occasion, as well as your style preferences. Available in a neutral or black colour.

Fancy winning over £250 worth of SPF goodies from Hello Sunday? Here's how
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Hey, you… yes you! How would you like to win over £250 worth of gorgeous Hello Sunday treats? Forget the thick, greasy sunscreens of the past, this UK-based brand is all about lightweight, skin-loving formulas that slot into your routine without any fuss. The packaging is cute, the names are playful (like 'The One That's a Serum'), and the products do more than just protect you from the sun – they also shield your skin from pollution and blue light. How good is that? Better yet, they're vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with good-for-you ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Basically, they've taken all the boring bits out of SPF and made it something you'll actually want to wear every day – which, we hate to remind you, but you should be doing all year round too. Now we've teamed up with Hello Sunday to give one of you over £250 worth of goodies, including 'The One That's A Serum' (worth £23), and 'The Mineral One SPF 50' (worth £26). The ultra-light, glow-giving formula that 'The Mineral One SPF' has is basically skincare's answer to a triple-shot oat latte: hydrating, energising, and totally addictive. It glides on like a dream (no chalky cast in sight), leaving your skin dewy, calm, and ready to face the day. Packed with antioxidant-rich Kukui Oil and vitamin E, it's like a mini shield for your face – fighting off free radicals, smoothing fine lines, and helping to fade dark spots while you get on with your life. And thanks to hyaluronic acid, your skin stays plump and juicy whether it's heatwave season or mid-winter chill. Fragrance-free, featherlight, and designed for everyday wear, this is SPF that works hard without showing off. Just like you. Someone called 'PinkLady' from Belfast hailed it 'perfection for sensitive rosacea skin', and went on to add: 'This is perfect for easily dehydrated, sensitive rosacea-prone skin that reacts to most chemical sunscreens. It's very emollient, which is not pleasant at first, but dries to a nice satin finish. Minimal white cast. I'm also acne prone, and this caused no breakouts.' Martha followed suit and also mentioned that it was a 'great option for deeper skin tones', and went on to say: 'For reference I'm a Fitzpatrick 6. I use 1 pipette full (1/2 suggested amount) with 1 finger of mineral sunscreen (1/2 recommended amount) to get full factor 50 coverage. Mineral sunscreens do have a white tint as they are white pigments but going it this way I do not get a white cast. I have told all my black friends about this as white cast is our regular struggle. This has saved me so much time with not having to apply makeup to make a mineral sunscreen work for me.' If you're looking for a standout product, try 'The One That's a Serum SPF 50'. This featherlight SPF 50 serum is the kind of overachiever we love – moisturiser, sunscreen, and glow-booster all rolled into one sleek little bottle. It's packed with antioxidants, brightening vitamin C, and plumping hyaluronic acid, so your skin gets a hit of hydration, protection, and radiance in one go. No white cast, or greasy finish either – just smooth, dewy skin that looks like it's had eight hours of sleep and a green juice. It sinks in like a serum (because it is one) and works hard behind the scenes to fend off UV rays, pollution, and those pesky early signs of ageing. Basically, it's your skincare routine—streamlined, simplified, and seriously effective. All-year-round glow? Sorted. Below you'll find the list of all the products you can win. The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £18 The One That's a Serum SPF 50 – worth £23 The Take Out One Invisible Sun Stick SPF 30 – worth £20.00 The One For Your Lips SPF 50 – worth £8 The One For Your Hands SPF 30 – worth £10 The One For Your Eyes SPF 50 – worth £18 The Illuminating One SPF 50 – worth £23 The Mineral One SPF 50 – worth £26 The Rose One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Mauve One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Everyday One Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £24 Recovery One Mask – worth £19 The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 75ml – worth £24 The One For Your Body SPF 30 – worth £18 It's worth mentioning that this competition ends on June 13, so what are you waiting for?
