Leggings and crop tops are not the most flattering things unless you have a size 8 toned body and are in your 20s, but I have to say a good pair of form fitting leggings and trainers are very comfortable especially as we lead such busy lives as housewives and mummies. So, as ladies in our 40s what rules should be adopt if we are going to wear our gym wear as part of our daily wear.

INVEST IN YOUR GYM WEAR 

I would definitely say invest in a good pair of leggings that will lift and sculpt and that don't go baggy or are see through. I personally like Sweaty Betty Power leggings and Lulu Lemon leggings: yes pricy, but the fit will give you confidence to go the supermarket and the school gate in them ..... plus a little flash of their logos will give you fitness girl brownie points (even if like me you never enter a gym)

SIMPLE

Like my day clothes I like to keep things quite monochrome and play safe with black leggings, I do have one patterned pair and yes you might guess it they are black and white print. Keeping things simple means they will compliment many of your greys sweatshirts and jumpers from your normal day-to-day clothes. 

ACCESSORISE

Accessorise with a cap (perfect for the school run bad hair mornings) and your favourite designer bag. Don't be afraid also to your show your confidence with a great pair of sunnies, on a sunny days. Finally top the whole look off with a great puffa jacket, hoodie, mac or leather biker jacket. 

NOT TOO MUCH FLESH 
Of course bra tops and hot pants are out the question ...... keep things respectable ladies and cover up!

If you are looking for active wear on a budget then, Gap's activewear always gets positive reviews and M&S's active wear looks brilliant .... I have included a few of their pieces in my edit above...... I especially love that tee and jacket.
