• Why is Vie Active one of your top choices for active wear? Vie active is my top choice for active wear because it looks great, feels amazing against my skin and performs incredibly well during the most intense training sessions, therefore make me feel great when wearing it. Vie active is made of merino wool so it breathes, wicks away the sweat and keeps me feeling fresh.
  • What are the benefits of wearing this range when training? The benefits of wearing vie active wear are that it looks super sexy, breathes, and works hard to keep you fresh when you are being active.  Vie active wear breathes because it is made of merino wool. Merino wool is a super effective technical fabric that wicks away the sweat to help keep you feeling fresh during workouts and it maintains its shape wash after wash so that you look super slick workout after workout.
  • How does this enhance your workout? and post workout? There is nothing worse that doing an intense workout and wearing synthetic fabrics that hold onto your sweat. You end up feeling smelly and wanting to run to the nearest shower. When I wear vie active I feel and smell fresh before, during and after training. I can finish the most intense run and slip on my foundation jacket and know that it breathes so I'll stay looking and feeling fresh. I can head straight from the gym to brunch confident in that I am looking super fashionable too!
  • How does wearing the range make you feel? I love wearing vie active wear because it is super comfortable, functional and super sexy. I always feel confident when I wear anything from the range because it looks amazing, and I can move freely. It's perfect for my active life!
  • What are your favourite pieces from the range? My favourite piece from the range is the Noa foundation jacket (it looks incredible, stays fresh and keeps me cosy and warm).  I also have the Viv grey and animal print t on high rotation (I love the super snug fit, the breathable merino fabric, as well as the sexy animal capped sleeves) it's such a versatile piece as I can wear it working out or as a sexy Tshirt with jeans.
