FROM slimming sports bras to BBL leggings, Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shops for gear on the high street. And we reveal which item is loved by stars like Zara McDermott and J-Lo. Shorts, £19.90, Uniqlo. WHETHER you’re jumping on a spin bike, cycling to work, or want a pair of shorts to banish the dreaded chub rub, cycling shorts are a life-saver.

In eight different colours, including black and beige, Uniqlo’s Ultra Stretch AIRism Active Shorts flatter your thighs and stomach. The fit is comfortable, stretchy and quick-drying. Aside from being great for exercise, a lot of shoppers say they wear them under their normal daywear because of their “slimming” benefits.

“I bought these shorts to wear under skirts or dresses,” one said. “Great purchase because they are high-waisted, the legs are long enough but also to ensure the thighs do not rub.”. So if you’re looking for a “do-everything” short, make these a go-to.

Top, £12.50, F&F at Tesco. NEED a quick fix after overindulging at Christmas? F&F’s waist-cinching top works wonders for all occasions. Part of the retailer’s latest Active range, edited by Kate Ferdinand, the long-sleeved top has a clever gathered middle.

It means the eye is drawn into its centre, while pleats create the illusion of a more defined waist. And who doesn’t want that?. Better still, it isn’t made from the usual stretchy nylon you see on most gymwear, but from a soft, cotton-like fabric, so it is far more versatile than your average workout top.
