Summer style just got seriously sporty

It's raining; it's chilly; it's windy. In short, it doesn't look or feel very summery out there. Still, we're pretty much ready for sunshine and warmth – and even if conditions don't pick up anytime soon, we're dead-set on defying our nation's bonkers climate by embracing a spot of warmer weather style.

Everyone has their go-to store for seasonal essentials – but this year we've been pleasantly surprised by the wares on offer at Life Style Sports.

From t-shirts, tank tops, and shorts, to sunglasses, flip flops and trainers, there is a load of seriously cool attire to choose from.

In particular, we are loving the quirky Originals Lotus print playsuit (€55) and the Supercolour shell-toe trainers (€80).

This clothes and accessories might even, whisper it, motivate us to go to the gym more.

Life Style Sports this week said: "Our fashion team has handpicked the hottest summer looks from top international brands to create a really unique and wearable collection," adding that the store's "on-trend pieces will look great at home or abroad and will last long after the season is over".

The 2015 collection is available in 60 Life Style Sports stores nationwide and online at www.lifestylesports.com.
