High street retailer River Island is launching its first activewear
line, RI Active for women, which consists of 23 pieces in May.
Focusing on “fusing fashion with function” the RI Active line uses sleek
silhouettes and premium sports fabrics to target “women who want to look
great whilst working out,” according to the press statement.
The 23-piece collection features workout essentials including crop tops,
slim fit leggings, shorts, double layer vests, as well as key outerwear
pieces such as padded gilets and fleeces to hooded ponchos.
All the garments have been designed to “flatter the female figure”
according to the brand, with the activewear pieces featuring deep
waistbands, ergonomically designed seaming, compact stretch, and comfort
fit fabrics.
The collection, which hits stores and online in May, features darker
hues of black and khaki with flashes of neon yellow, whilst camouflage
print adds an urban twist, and will retail from between 18 and 38 pounds.
