Helen Steele is making strides with her latest collection for Dunnes Stores, with a movement-led activewear range.

The designer has long been known for her vibrant sports range for the retailer, and her latest drop does not disappoint. Hit the Trail is inspired by summer adventures with exercise-ready pieces in her signature vibrant hues.

That includes sugary shades of pink, bold blues and pops of tangerine, green and black.

Key pieces for those planning a sunny day hike or running about town include the lightweight bike shorts (€20/€25) in an explosion of colour, which pair with breathable vests (€15) and T-shirts (€20).

Fleeces typically feature heavily in Helen’s collections, and the last crop is ideal for an Irish summer in head-turning pink and blue, and there’s also a selection of hoodies, including the standout colour block option (€35) to allow for any sudden downpour.

Rounding out the activewear line are practical accessories, including the Hit The Trail hat (€12) and print panel swimsuit (€25), which comes in flattering navy with a contrasting pink zip and floral panels.

Then there’s the sports luxe style ‘Define Dress’ (€30), which has been created to navigate from beach to brunch and is ideal for layering up.

It comes in classic black with pink panels to the sides and is a rare dress addition to her activewear line.

Also new this time around is Helen’s take on denim. She has put her stamp on a loose-fitting jean with a vibrant swirl design, and there’s also a matching denim jacket.

Another standout piece in the collection is the sleeveless utility jacket that can be easily styled with most summer items in your wardrobe.

The new Helen Steele line launches in-store and online at Dunnes Stores in the coming days.
