Athleisure
What is athleisure? Athleisure is basically activewear that’s performance-driven and also stylish enough to wear outside the gym. Athleisure can also include pieces of clothing inspired by workout clothing, but have no actual place in a fitness studio (fashion leggings, we’re talking about you). At long last, comfort and style can harmoniously coexist. Wearing workout clothes everyday has become the norm thanks to the athleisure trend.
If you’re new to building an athleisure collection or want to refresh your existing wardrobe, then you’re in the right place! Keep reading to check out our roundup of athleisure essentials that everyone including women, men and kids should have in their arsenal.

Stock Up on Tank Tops
Tanks are the versatile layering piece you’ve been missing. From designs that hug the body for a svelte appearance to flowing fabric, you’ll find plenty of designs to choose from. For the ladies, picks with built-in bras are an added bonus.
Pick Joggers that Work Overtime
A pair of sleek joggers can instantly make post-gym gear look more put together—even if jogging or running isn’t your workout of choice. Fit matters, so go with styles that feature an elastic or adjustable waistband for a custom feel.
Sweatshirts with Something Extra
The ultimate pullover has gotten a major makeover thanks to logos across the front. You can also invest in solid neutral colors that are super easy to wear to the gym but also are ideal for school or work. From logo-heavy sweatshirts to hooded sweatshirts, there’s something for everyone.
Sweatpants for Lunges & Lounging
Relaxed sweatpants are ideal for low-intensity workouts and chilling out. Modern versions are done in fresh color combos and covered with logos or graphics. Minimalists, don’t fret; there are lots of classic neutrals, too.
Leggings that Look Good & Work Hard
When it comes to leggings made for the athleisure trend, please go with designs that have both substance and style—there are plenty of options that have both! Fashion leggings are cute, but not made for exercising in. Feel free to grab a few pairs only if you don’t intend to actually work out in them. Picks featuring sporty accents like mesh and colorblocking are very popular.
Casual Sneakers for Running (Errands)
Sneakers only for the gym? Those don’t really exist any more. We’ve moved into the realm of casual sneakers you can wear to tackle your entire day. We’re talking everything from your morning workout to picking up your dry cleaning to grabbing dinner with friends. You’ll be comfortable and look fashion-forward at the same time.
