Sweaty Betty launched the Powered by London collection to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its bestselling Power leggings franchise, featuring archive-inspired styles, original favourites and new limited-edition designs. The release includes three London-inspired prints and two bold Sweaty Betty wordmark graphics across leggings and related styles such as shorts and skorts.
The Power range is designed with a second-skin feel and performance-focused features including sweat-wicking, fast-drying fabric and a stay-put fit. The new prints draw inspiration from London landmarks and the brand’s roots in the city, forming the centrepiece of a campaign that celebrates movement, individuality and confidence.
Launching online and in stores on 8 June, with early access available from 4 June, the collection gives consumers fresh interpretations of one of Sweaty Betty’s most established product lines. The release reflects the continued popularity of identity-driven activewear that combines performance functionality with strong brand storytelling and cultural relevance.
