Athleisure has become a major trend in fashion. Pairing your favorite black leggings with a simple T and a bomber jacket is the way to go. However, there are do’s and don’ts to this trend to keep in mind.
There is a fine-line between gym clothes and athleisure and it’s all about the styling and accessories. Adding structured pieces to your look, such as a leather jacket and wayfarer sunglasses, will transform your workout attire to a fashion-forward ensemble. The occasion is also an important factor when considering an athleisure look. You may not want to wear your joggers to a special event, but they are perfect for a casual night out on the town paired with heeled booties and a tailored coat.
Many designers, like Alexander Wang and Tory Burch, and public figures are contributing to this trend. Early this year, Beyoncé teamed with Topshop to create an activewear line that incorporates casual pieces. Knowing that Queen Bey co-founded an active line of clothing was the perfect excuse to shop for new athleisure wear, so I had to get my hands on a few items when it first launched. I absolutely love her “Y” high-rise ankle leggings, logo baseball cap, and gray and white logo crew neck tees all featuring her IVY PARK logo.
Athleisure is a great way to stay comfortable yet trendy.
