Athleisure Wear – What Is It & Why It May Be Here to Stay
Athleisure wear maintains a foothold in your shopping choices. This goes beyond yoga leggings as pants (this is another blog altogether). Though this was likely what started this trend. It’s clothing that easily transitions from the gym, pool, skate park, etc. to other parts of your life. It is excellent for you men and women who have an intense dislike for shopping, as your options are doubled in a singular piece of clothing.
My husband recently wore such an item on our vacation to Hawaii. They were swim shorts with a subtle grey metallic sheen. He wore them to see the sights, eat lunch and then to the beach. You really couldn’t tell they were also created for water – related activity. Some other examples of althleisure fashion for men can be found here.
The selection of athleisure wear for women is great. From lightweight bomber-style jackets with wicking action, to sweatshirts with faux-leather paneling, tops with and interesting draping similar to that of a blouse, the options expand far and wide. Lululemon may have pioneered this concept, but you can now find stylish athleisure wear at Old Navy, The Gap (their Athleta brand) and from Satva’s organic line.
Athleisure fashion gives you more wear/value from one piece of clothing, and your laundry pile is smaller, too! If you’re wondering how to make these pieces in your closet go the extra mile for you, drop me a line, I can help you expand upon these multi-tasking pieces in your closet.
