ZAAZEE ALEXA

Our testers raved about the fit – particularly the high waistband and its extra elastic, and the flattering shape at the back – and the comfort of the quick- drying, soft fabric, which offers the ideal amount of stretch to hold you in place without restricting movement. They’re not cheap, but they are a smart purchase, as they’re hard-wearing, with great shape retention and minimal colour fade over multiple miles and multiple spins in the washing machine. £75, zaazee.co.uk
