Athleisure: everyday sportswear

Gone are the days when people looked down on sportswear and casual outfits. Today, they’re a major trend – and it’s called athleisure. Nowadays, sportswear fans can leave the house in their tracksuit, and not just to dash to the shops. The combination of sporty retro items and classic pieces is bringing serious coolness to the average casual outfit.

Discover the perfect mix of style and comfort with Athleisure Sportswear in everyday life

The boundary between fitness and fashion is steadily disappearing as the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle plays an increasing role in our society. So it’s no wonder that the hype is finding its way into our wardrobes, too. Athleisure is the word on everyone’s lips. It’s all about the skilled combination of sports and leisure items. But there’s more too athleisure than simply pairing a football shirt with jeans and trainers. If it’s done right, it’s even a look you can wear to the office. Although that depends on your job and your workplace, of course. But the fact that even banks are now allowing trainers at work, shows that the athleisure look is making its way into the professional world.

Do's & Don'ts

  • The trend features stretch fabric, flowing materials and broad silhouettes.

  • When it comes to athleisure, it’s worth paying attention to the shoes. Cool, clean trainers are the finishing touch to any athleisure outfit. White trainers in particular are the ultimate sports accessory.

  • Well-fitting jeans or high-quality trousers are great paired with sporty trainers.

  • Battered, baggy tracksuit bottoms do not count as athleisure wear!

  • If you want to add an elegant touch to an athleisure outfit, try adding a classy hat or scarf. This creates a contrast in style and makes the look more polished.

  • A classic white T-shirt with a blazer can make a casual statement without looking too informal.

  • High-quality, breathable, natural materials play a major role. Athleisure isn’t just a fashion trend: it’s a way of life.

Conclusion

We love athleisure! The sporty look lets you wear comfortable items while still leaving lots of options open for putting your outfit together. Comfy, cool and chic – the athleisure look combines all three.
