“Athleisure” refers to the style of clothing that combines elements of casual and athleticwear. Today, stores and brands specializing in everyday activewear have popped up in malls and shopping centers around the world. Athleisure’s popularity has grown considerably over the past few years, and here are a few reasons why people continue to love this versatile and sporty style:
It's comfortable - In the past, leggings, hoodies, and sweatpants have been considered “lounge wear”, and were typically only worn in the house when relaxing. The rise of athleisure fashion shows a trend in comfortable clothes being worn outside of the house. If you’re looking for a style that allows you to look put-together with little effort and tons of comfort, athleisure is for you.
