Athleisure (AKA athletic leisure for the uninitiated) is about wearing athletic gear as leisure wear. It’s important to pick your athletic items carefully (there are some definite no-nos, which we’ll get into) and mix them with casual pieces. Because of its comfy and swaggy vibe, it’s one of the most popular travel style trends at the moment. Follow our guide to getting it right.
DON’T wear running shoes
Trainers and running shoes say only one thing – that you’re headed to or have just finished a workout. There’s nothing fashionable about trainers outside of a workout environment, and the material they are made of (usually mesh or rubber) screams ‘functional’. The trick is to look like you’re somewhere between a workout and running a fabulous errand such as a wardrobe fitting or a hair and make-up session.
DON’T be brand monogamous
Play the field a little! Wearing a single brand from head to toe makes you look sponsoredand you’ll miss the point of the trend completely. Mix up athletic brands with other fashion labels.
DO make statements
DON’T wear freebies
To really pull off this look, that T-shirt you got at your last fun run is not going to cut it. Yes, your outfit should be casual and comfortable, but it should also look well-thought-out.
