The recent shift in athleisure has quickly ushered a newfound satisfaction for all things workout wear. No longer just for a pilates and vinyasa session before or after work but athleisure can be worn from the office to an after-hours recap, but why the latest infatuation with garments your essentially suppose to sweat in? Simple, buying power and the numbers don’t lie, with sales soaring 17% from last year and athletic wear becoming the largest category in the US. Brands such as Yeezy, Off-White, Outdoor Voices, and Public Rec are among the slew of companies capitalizing on athleisure’s trending stance.
We’ve opted for a casual take to the athleisure trend one equipped for both running errands or just a stroll around with your bestie in town. Aim for high-waisted leggings, stripped at the sides to give an extra boost to the trend and bit of eye candy as well. Pair your leggings with a basic tank top, sneakers and the creme de la creme a belt bag for an optimal nod to the 1980s workout craze with a twist. Although, we have graduated from neon leggings, sweatbands, and leg warmers, we’ll still secretly live vicariously through Oliva Newton-John’s “Let Get Physical” on repeat in our heads.
