RAISE YOUR GAME AT THE GYM JACKET

Add some colour with a techy piece like this.

BAG Ditch your freebie gym backpack for a stylish leather carry-all.

T-SHIRT Glam up this staple with one of Louis Vuitton’s graphic, geometric V-prints.

LEGWEAR Layer form-fitting compression wear under varsity-style gym shorts for a complete look.

SHOES Go for a pair of sneakers but save them for weights sessions – cardio will wear them out.

SUNGLASSES Because you don’t

always train indoors.

QUESTION: WHICH SHOES DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR HOT DAYS – SOMETHING TO KEEP ME COOL

WITHOUT DRESSING DOWN MY LOOK? J ANDERSON, PRAHRAN, VIC.

Answer: More dressy than a pair of thongs, with the same ventilated coolness – leather sandals are best for scorching days. Look to

Hermès and Dries Van Noten’s latest spring/summer 2014 collections to see these airy types look as good with a jacket and

chinos as they do with shorts and a T-shirt.
