On any social media platform, but most especially Instagram, you are surrounded by celebrities and influencers casually leaving the house in what would normally be presumed to be worn strictly in the gym. However, with more and more people wearing it casually, it has grown to be a norm. The Athleisure norm.

What is Athleisure?

Merriam-Webster defines it to be casual clothing created to be worn both for fitness and general use. It includes a variety of trends and styles including yoga pants, jogger pants, leggings, sports bras, hoodies, sneakers and the list just goes on.

Why did it become a trend?

Athleisure creates a seamless fusion between sports, street and fashion trends. It’s become a complete lifestyle for many with it practically becoming a cult. Its aesthetic blend of sports and fashion means it has both style and function so everybody wins. It also creates a positive feedback loop wherein people living healthy leads to them thinking better leading to a better way of living.

When it comes to normal trends, this is usually the hard part. However, athleisure take that pressure off as it’s easy. With your normal gym clothes turned more stylish, you can just take how you wear them into the gym and you’re good to go. If you’re out of ideas, here’s some inspiration to get you started!
