The athleisure trend is no longer just for those wearing yoga pants anywhere other than a gym or yoga studio. Big designers are joining in, delivering chic clothing to transition between the gym and the street.
This trend is especially useful for travelers. Finding clothes that look and feel good for a long flight can be difficult. Follow our tips for sporting the athleisure trend while traveling.
- Don’t mistake this trend for stepping out in ratty, old gym clothes. There’s a big difference between a well-fitting sporty tank top and a stretched-out t-shirt. Leave those items in your gym bag.
- Keep it simple. Wear slip-on shoes or a zip-up jacket to ensure you go through security lines with ease.
- Mix it up. Use athleisure pieces to complement your look. Offset a more buttoned-up outfit with a casual shoe, a track jacket or leggings.
- Be neutral. Opt for neutral colors and minimal patterns instead of bright colors and vibrant designs.
- A statement necklace or striking pair of sunglasses can immediately elevate your look.
- Start shopping. Check out some of these options: Lululemon, Onzie, H&M, Athleta, Vie Active and IVY PARK.
