Presenter-turned designer Emma Willis’s debut sportswear collection with Next has launched just in time for New Year’s workout resolutions. Sports bras and swimwear are presented alongside mix-and-match vests and leggings, plus soft hoodies and joggers as post-workout loungewear. Soft greys and neutral charcoals are combined with pops of vivid orange and pink for a dynamic feel, in moisture-wicking sportswear fabrics.
“Sportswear was something I really wanted to do… January just seems perfect because you have that month of indulgence for Christmas,” Emma said. Though functionality was key during the design process, the mum-of-three wanted the pieces to be stylish and affordable too, reflecting her philosophy as a designer. “It was really important to do sportswear that looked really good but was functional…and also didn’t cost the earth, so it was affordable.” The versatile range combines style, functionality and affordability and all pieces are available in either sizes 6-22 or XS-XXL.
