Activewear: For Going Hard or Staying Home

With athleisure, there’s no need to sacrifice comfort for style. Activewear pieces blend non-restrictive fabric with sleek silhouettes for a look that takes you from the gym to the streets.

WHAT IS ATHLEISURE?

The phrase “athleisure,” a mix of the words “athletic” and “leisure,” refers to a popular style that combines the comfort of activewear with the practicality of everyday clothing; it’s a massive industry that’s expected to keep growing.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Here are just a few of the reasons why we love activewear and athleisure:

1. Comfort: Activewear is made from durable and breathable fabric that offers an escape from the restrictive feeling of traditional clothing. Additionally, athleisure pieces fit comfortably and won’t limit your movement or require constant adjusting, thanks to the common use of stretchy materials like polyester, nylon, and spandex.
2. Versatility: Catch up with friends at a new brunch spot, then squeeze in a quick workout without needing to change or pack a second outfit. These versatile pieces work with other casual staples in your closet, making them a perfect addition to your wardrobe.
3. Durability: Athleticwear is durable and easy to care for. Its stretchy, sweat-wicking fabric maintains its shape and makes washing and drying a breeze.

OUR FAVORITE ATHLEISURE PIECES

Any article of activewear suitable for the gym and everyday use can be considered athleisure. When people think of athleisure, they generally picture leggings, yoga pants, or sweatpants. However, athleisure can include gym clothes like sports bras, jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, and more. Here are just a few of our favorites and how to style them:

LEGGINGS

An athleisure staple, leggings highlight and accentuate your assets and pair well with casual and elevated pieces, like an oversized top or a dress. Try our Truly Snatched Leggings with a cropped tank top and zip-up jacket for a chic, travel-ready look.

SWEATS AND JOGGERS

Maximize comfort with a pair of sweatpants or joggers. Their soft and loose material makes them perfect for lounging, casual wear, and exercise. The difference between joggers and sweatpants? Sweatpants often feature a bootcut style, perfect for keeping cool, while joggers have a slimmer fit to retain heat during your workout. Pair your joggers or sweats with a velour zip-up for a luxurious and snuggly style.

Love the look of a matching set? Boost your streetwear game with a comfy tracksuit that combines sweatpants and joggers with a matching zip-up hoodie.

TRACK JACKETS AND WINDBREAKERS

Track jackets and windbreakers bring a perfect mix of function and flair to any athleisure outfit. With their ability to layer easily and add sporty sophistication, they’re a piece you’ll reach for frequently. We love the look of a windbreaker paired with matching joggers, but they also work just as well with your favorite leggings or jeans for a casual, put-together vibe.

Athleisure pieces keep you feeling comfortable and looking effortlessly put together. With endless ways to mix and match, these wardrobe staples are perfect for the gym, running errands, or just relaxing at home. Whether you’re all about sporty vibes or cozy chic looks, these versatile pieces have you covered.
