As the saying goes, summer bodies are made in the winter – which also means these colder months are the perfect time to upgrade your gym wardrobe. When motivation is low amid shorter and darker days, nothing will give you a boost quite like a sleek matching set or sculpting leggings that accentuate your physique.
Thankfully, for those of us who look to global Gen Z style muses like Sofia Richie Grainge for sartorial inspiration, there’s a new sale that’ll help you nail your activewear wardrobe. Enter: Gymshark’s Black Friday sale, where the brand has just announced an extra 25% off discounted products with the code EXTRA25.
As the mother of the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic and the ultimate off-duty dresser, Sofia is renowned for her effortlessly chic style; think neutral colour palettes, perfectly tailored jeans and floor-length trench coats.
On days when she’s feeling more casual, though, the soon to be mother-of-two has been pictured in Gymshark pieces. For example, she was papped in the brand's cult Seamless Leggings and a matching V-neck tank top on a day out in LA. And on her Instagram grid, she has posed in cream tracksuit and sweatshirt sets.

My top 8 picks from Gymshark’s Black Friday sale…
1/8
Everyday Seamless Leggings
Editor's note
Black leggings are a wardrobe staple. This seamless pair is made from lightweight material – so, just like Mrs Richie Grainge, I’ll be wearing them for everything from running and yoga to casual days where I’m running errands.
2/8
Vital All In One
Editor's note
Sporty all-in-ones are having a moment – and few come as flattering as this black marl one. It sculpts your figure without feeling restrictive, and is made from Gymshark’s signature sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry (and cool) however you get your exercise in.
3/8
Everyday Seamless Long Sleeve Crop Top
Editor's note
Winter is officially here, so it’s a good time to stock up on long sleeve tops. This one comes in a delicious shade of navy and is made from 80% Nylon, so it’ll wick sweat away from the skin whilst keeping you cool during high-intensity workouts.
4/8
Collegiate Graphic Crew Neck Pullover
Editor's note
A chic, grey sweatshirt is a non-negotiable when it comes to building a capsule activewear wardrobe. I love the oversized fit of this one – and I love even more than it’s made from 79% cotton.
5/8
Everyday Seamless Racerback Sports Bra
Editor's note
For those that like to have a pop of colour in their activewear rotation, this striking pink sports bra is ideal. I’m a particular fan of how the flattering scoop neck and racer back cut shows off the upper body. Arm day has never looked so good.
6/8
Adapt Animal Long Sleeve Crop Top
Editor's note
For gym days when you’re feeling a little bit extra, meet this animal-print long sleeve crop top. It has twist-front raglan sleeves that are designed to enhance the shape of your upper body, whilst the high-cut at the twist will show off your abdomen.
7/8
Everyday Seamless Flared Leggings
Editor's note
With a shade name like ‘cherry purple’, how could I resist these flares? The high-waisted fit snatches in the waist, whilst the subtle contouring around the glutes is the ultimate physique enhancer.
8/8
Everyday Seamless T-Shirt
Editor's note
For uber-relaxed days, look no further than this seamless T-shirt. It’s made from the same ‘second skin’ fabric as Gymshark’s tighter seamless pieces, but has a looser fit for maximum comfort.
