The Athleisure Factor

Pieces that were once reserved for the gym and (maybe) the airport have now made their way onto runways and street style stars everywhere. Within the very last year or so, I feel like wearing sweatpantssneakers or anything from the athleisure family has gone from being a fashion don’t to a total fashion DO. Combined with the resurgence of logomania brands like Calvin KleinTommy HilfigerAdidas, and Champion, the athleisure trend is very much here to stay.

You all know how much I love a good pair of sweatpants and sneakers, so styling this outfit was so much fun! You might recognize these pants from a Fashion Week look I wore not too long ago (you can check it out here), but the tear-away inspired pants fit right in with the athleisure trend I’m really into right now. I threw on t-shirt and jacket, but to balance out the casual pieces I threw on a pair of pumps to give me the height and add a little edge. Athleisure has so much room for interpretation so I love to see how everyone wears the trend within their personal style.

So whether you go for a full out athleisure look or incorporate little bits and pieces of the trend into your everyday outfit, I encourage you to give it a try! You might surprise yourself. Happy Tuesday!
