Athleisure has come a long way since its gym-only days; it’s all about relaxed polish and cozy style that still turns heads.
I swear, America as a culture has been the inventor of casual… in maybe all things, but assuredly in the fashion world. Take, for example, the jean—totally American, and the forerunner of all things casual-chic in the fashion space. That said, many years ago, one of the hottest trends to emerge was the concept of workout wear as fashion—no longer worn just for working out.
I remember the year well, as so many of my clients immediately adopted this style as their daily uniform—unless an occasion demanded something more elevated. What made me laugh is that these same women still loved their gorgeous designer wardrobes and kept right on shopping them. But most days? You’d find them in what we now call athleisure.
Fast forward to COVID, and the idea of athleisure as everyday wear was officially cemented.
Elevated Athleisure for Every Temperature
As we continue to savor this relaxed, comfy approach to dressing, this week we’re showcasing athleisure for all climates. Since winter is still very present in many places, you’ll find lots of cashmere and cozy knits to help you cruise through your day in total comfort—and true style.
