If you're always looking to add a touch of French woman style to all aspects of your life, you'll be pleased to hear you can now apply that to the gym, because cult brand Sézane has now branched out into activewear.

The capsule's name, EPS 'Education Philosophique et Spotif', is a nod to French equivalent of a school gym class, and features 23 leisurewear pieces in 100% recycled or eco-friendly materials (some t-shirts are made of 100% organic cotton), made entirely in the European Union.

Forget everything you think you know about activewear, because this offering is much more stylish than the usual you'd find in sports shops, and is wonderfully retro and full of great silhouettes and pretty motifs.

There are classics with a twist, such as leggings in floral prints, sports bras with minimalist lines and sweaters with frilled necklines, and although the collection is great for working out (there is a t-shirt with moisture absorbing technology), it is mostly about supporting your lifestyle.

Sézane founder Morgane explains, 'This collection is about pieces you can move and feel good in. Weekend yoga, a walk with friends that turns into a coffee, even a long flight. We wanted to design pieces that you can throw on without thinking & really live in.'

The leisurewear collection is available to buy from today in store and online. Prices start at £40.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
