Zara launches debut sportswear collection

London - Spanish fast-fashion giant, Zara, is set to launch its debut sportswear range next month as consumers demand for athletic wear and athleisure continues to surge.

The limited edition collection, named Zara Sport, consists of a series of sportswear basics, such as sports tops, shorts and bras which carry the retailer's "characteristic style." The range was developed around running as well as wellness sports such as yoga and pilates, but also offers a select range of swimwear and tennis wear.

Each item is made from high performance fabrics, in shades of black and grey with a touch of neon yellow, to ensure breathability as well as body temperature regulation during a workout. Zara Sport also offers a number of accessories for numerous fitness activities, such as water bottles, yoga mats and trainers. The collection is set to launch in selected stores around the world on March 10, as well as online.
