If you have yet to notice, now you know: athleisure, which combines athletic clothing and leisure clothing, is the hottest trend to take over the fashion scene right now, and I am all for it! As someone who is obsessed with fitness, any opportunity that’s socially acceptable to go from the gym to brunch, and then out to run errands while still in my same gear is a trend I can fully support! Basically, athletic wear is no longer just limited to the gym…people (like me) are wearing yoga pants and sneakers to grab drinks and even to the office. Since I’m all too familiar with this trend, I’ve formulate my top 3 rules to follow when sporting the athleisure trend:
- Choose appropriate footwear: Crisp and clean sneakers are the way to go! I’m not saying you need to continuously buy new shoes, but take good care of the ones you have. (I frequently wash mine on cold and let them air dry).
- Invest in quality clothing that mix fashion and function: Keep it practical by investing in clothes that are made of good quality (moisture-wicking, quick drying, and form fitting), and that are neutrals (similar color palette).This will ensure that you can easily mix and match your sporty basics, like these joggers and sweatshirt, with your everyday casual go-to items, like this denim jacket. All it takes is one item to pull the whole sporty look together to be street appropriate.
So, what are you waiting for!? In my opinion, there’s nothing better than wearing a comfortable, low-maintenance outfit that is seamlessly fashionable!
