With the Olympics drawing ever closer, it’s unsurprising that there’s been a parallel explosion in sportswear across the globe over the last few months. No longer the too-casual uniform of sweaty exercise freaks or pap-shy celebrities, sportswear has now been upgraded to a gold medal style status.

However, just because it might look sporty, doesn’t mean that it’s actually suitable to do sports in. I mean, would you actually go for a gruelling, sweaty 10-mile run in a piece of kit that cost more than £20/30? Tack on prices into the hundreds and it’s looking even more unlikely.

Whether it’s Stella McCartney‘s pricey Adidas jacket or Chalayan‘s holographic spray-on leggings, these sports luxe looks might look good, but be warned: they won’t last long at the gym!

Here’s our top pick of the most unsuitable sportswear designs out there.
