There has never been a better time to embrace your sporty side – and thankfully, there's not a piece of Lycra in sight.

The key to working this look is clean lines – try teaming these simple cigarette pants from BHS (£28.50) with this patterned vest from Marks and Spencer. The racer back gives this top a really sporty edge – and at just £19.50 it won't blow your budget.

Dorothy Perkins has come up trumps this season, stocking some fantastic footwear reminiscent of Isabel Marant's much coveted platform sneakers, which are adored by stars such as Alicia Keys, Beyonce and our very own Millie MacKintosh of Made In Chelsea fame.

This gorgeous pink and taupe pair with a raised heel, cost just £40 – a fraction of the £220 price tag which you'd pay for a pair by Marant.

If you prefer a more preppy look, head to New Look where they have these gorgeous lace-up pumps in a variety of colours, starting at just £7.99.

If you're looking for some celebrity inspiration when it comes to sport-luxe, look no further than pop princess Cheryl Cole who has it perfected to a tee. Think neon vests and bomber jackets – if you're feeling brave head to Internacionale to pick up their fluorescent yellow crop top (£8.99) or if you prefer to keep your midriff covered up, try this mint green vest at a wallet friendly £4.99.

Team either with this sexy black bomber jacket from River Island, which priced at a cool £35, is bound to become a wardrobe staple.

If you want to don your sports-luxe gear for a night out head straight to New Look where you can pick up an entire outfit for less than £60. Team these Aztec print trousers (£29.99), with black cut-out wedges (£24.99). Pop on a crop top (£4.99) and you're good to go!

Or for a day-time look, throw it all together with this ultra-cool silver mac again from high street heaven Dorothy Perkins. The lightweight fabric will keep you cool and protect you from any summer showers, of which there have been plenty this season.

And lastly, we've found this gorgeous cross-body satchel from new urban brand Zatchel at House of Fraser (£35). The bag's bright neon leather makes a firm fashion statement and means you can pack your essentials together in one stylish carrier, leaving your arms free to shop!

So even if you won't be glued to the Olympics this summer, you can still celebrate the very best of sporting achievements in your fashion choices.
