Our busy and hectic lives demand comfortable and practical clothes and of course, giving up on style is definitely not an option — so how else can we combine fashion and function while still looking chic? The answer is athleisure. Athleisure is blurring the lines between the clothes you would usually wear to a gym and those you would wear to lunch. So, whether you’re running a quick errand or simply heading to the yoga studio, your outfit can simply do it all.
The word ‘athleisure’ is a combination of two terms: ‘athletic’ and ‘leisure wear’. The true beauty of athleisure is that it’s both practical and fashionable. This relaxed and cool style is a blend of sportswear and ready-to-wear to create looks that are chic and comfortable.
Getting into the athleisure trend is easy. Simply nail that athleisure look by mixing function with fashion by mixing athleisure pieces into your regular wardrobe. By blending fashion pieces such as jeans and a jacket with activewear pieces such as sweatpants or a sports bra, you’ll be sure to create a stylish and well-balanced look.
Start by wearing sweatpants, which are a core element of the athleisure look. The athleisure trend has found its way into tops as well. It’s becoming increasingly common now to see people wearing extra large hoodies and sweaters around the city and at the office. Simply top off the look with a pair of trendy kicks for a stylish athleisure look that’s sure to leave an impression no matter the occasion.
Now that you know what athleisure is, it’s time to put the hottest trend to action. From Armani Exchange to Comme des Garçons and many more, we have got you covered with all the must-haves you need to nail that athleisure look. Scroll on to find out more.
