Trend: Athleisure
I see it everywhere. Mall. Grocery store. Airport. It ranges in prices and appeals to pretty much everyone. It makes you look athletic even if you haven’t been to the gym in months. It’s no convenience that it’s comfy and great loungewear. And, it's a really hot trend. Athleisure. My go-to outfit for lazy days off, weekends and travel. You can look cute and be comfy at the same time.
A lot of major brands have launched lines of athletic wear such as Tory Burch Sport, Rebecca Minkoff and Mara Hoffman while other brands like Heather, Benjamin Jay and Lululemon have found success mixing athletic wear with their contemporary clothes. It’s safe to say this trend is here to stay. Here are some stylish items to get your closet started off on the right “track!” ;)
Tory Sport Performance Legging: One thing that I love about Tory Burch's Sport line is the phrase, "fashion meets function." For a stylish gal like me, my outfits are important to me no matter where I go. These graphic leggings are cute for a workout at the gym or a day of running errands.
Tory Sport Printed Cross-back Cami Bra: This matching cami bra makes a cute set. Personally, I've found that a cross-back is important to me with athletic gear when it comes to support and comfort.
Tory Sport for FITBIT Striped Grosgrain Bracelet: This exclusive collab is a great example of a fashion and technology cross over. Rebecca Minkoff has done really well with the crossover with a full line of tech accessories to charge your phone in style and Apple Watch bands. How chic! This TBS FITBIT lets you track your fitness goals in style.
Rebecca Minkoff Ayers Legging: Similar to the TBS legging, these Rebecca Minkoff's are stylish and help you get your workout on.
Nike Tech Cape: I've been eyeing this cape for a little over a year now and recently gave in and made the purchase. It's ideal for not only en route to the gym but travel, a weekend of errands and more. It's fleece alternative is great for the colder months.
Steve Madden Emuse Slip-Ons: Who can say no to a shoe sale? These cap toe and suede finish slip-ons are so cute and comfy for day-to-day. These texturized pair are a great alternative.
ASOS Smart Front Bar Detail Backpack: Throwing it back to the good 'ol schooldays this is a really cute trend that I am in love with. You can do so much with a backpack. Not only is is stylish and easy to carry but there are so many styles out there to choose from. It can function as a gym, class, weekend, travel or day-to-day bag.
Tory Sport Nylon Bomber Jacket: The bomber jacket trend is worth all the rave! This specific one is insulated for weather and I love the blue color. This is another lower price-point alternative and one if you're into the trendy military green. It's a great piece for layering with a leather jacket or your favorite knit in the colder months to come!
