ATHLEISURE: COMFORT, SPORT and STYLE

There was a time when activewear was strictly for workouts. Today, it's seamlessly integrated into our everyday wardrobe. From Pilates to airport looks, the athleisure movement — a blend of “athletic” + “leisure” — offers the perfect mix of comfort, performance, and style.

Athleisure isn't exactly new, but it was in the post-pandemic era that it truly gained momentum. With a focus on health, physical activity, and overall well-being, our approach to fashion naturally shifted too. What was once limited to gyms is now accepted in cafés, restaurants, and even shopping centers.

But instead of focusing on the familiar combo — workout clothes styled with a blazer — let’s broaden the conversation. Athleisure is no longer just about the outfit, it's a reflection of a growing lifestyle and sports culture that’s leaving a strong mark on fashion.

Think: somewhere between country club and college campus. Tennis or golf-inspired polo shirts and lightweight jackets. Adidas Sambas, New Balances, or sleek loafers — all great choices.

Team Jerseys, a laid-back urban twist.

Style tip: Wear an oversized jersey with pointed-toe boots, a bold pairing.

Track pants are another key piece.

Style tip: Pair them with a blazer or a denim jacket, and sneakers like the Adidas Samba — fun fact: the Samba was Adidas' first-ever soccer shoe, released in 1950 as an indoor soccer shoe. It made a huge comeback in 2023, becoming a street style favorite.

On the right: track pants styled with a tank top, a chic bag, slides, and a layered mix of accessories. Chef’s kiss. Effortlessly chic, this is the kind of look that proves you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for elegance. It’s all about balancing the right codes.

Biker shorts, inspired by the ‘90s aesthetic and, of course, Princess Diana’s iconic style.

Style tip: Throw on an oversized sweatshirt for that perfect proportion play. Pair it with retro or chunky sneakers, a structured handbag, and sunglasses for an everyday look.

Blending function with sophistication creates an interesting contrast between casual and chic.
