Athletic Wear Trend


How to Make the Athleisure Trend Work For You
The athleisure trend is having something of a revival, like all things 90’s and fabulous. Whether you’re shooting for the “i’m just off to the gym” look or want to elevate your athletic wear to athluxury level chic; I’ve got the right tips to help you look casual and cool but still fashionably pulled together.
Remember these tips for rocking the athleisure trend:
1. Stick to color pallettes and silhouettes that are similar to your usual personal style. If you wear black, fitted, and leather…..you should strive to incorporate athletic wear pieces that are the same aesthetic. The thought behind athleisure is that you pulled the athletic pieces together with your core staple wardrobe pieces.

2. Elevate a baggy or more athletic fit pant with an open toed sandal or wedge shoe, to avoid looking too much like you’re off taking the dog to the vet, hitting up the farmer’s market, and then scrapbooking the evening away.

3. Carry a chic bag with bit of structure to keep your look from being too sloppy when it is comprised of athleisure basics like a loose cashmere sweater and athletic pants. Selecting rich leather in jewel tones or basic black, or incorporating animal print and croc detailing will elevate your look.

4. Start out small with the athleisure trend by investing in a cool pair of all black or black and white sneakers and pair them with basic staple pieces in the neutral (camel, white, black, gray) color pallette. Work in athletic wear pieces that work for you year round, like chic jogger pants, tight black leggings, and jersey sweaters and hoodies.

5. Take a style note from the runways and learn to layer. Mixing luxe leather and silk layers in basic black with your athletic staple pieces in similar black, grey, or white tones will have you rocking the right mix of athletic and casual luxe that is the backbone of the athleisure trend.
