This week, You! delves into the latest trends, including how to style athleisure pieces for any and all occasions…

athleisure

Few fashion trends have stood the test of time quite like athleisure. Spending the whole day in sweats used to be a fashion crime, but athleisure is now completely in vogue. Athleisure is a hybrid style of athletic clothing typically worn as every day wear. Athleisure outfits can include yoga pants, tights, sneakers and leggings that look like athletic wear, characterised as fashionable, dressed-up sweats and exercise clothing.

It has been years since athleisure first started becoming mainstream in the 2010s, and since then, the trend has evolved to give us everything from ’80s sweat-suit sets to wearing sneakers to parties. You can mix athleisure with posh accessories like gold hoops and heeled boots, or stick to the OG athleisure look by rocking your gym ‘fit to work. While the past few years of lockdowns are to blame for the boom in cosy-cute options. Why the lasting hype? The hybrid nature of athleisure wear blurs the line when moving through spaces in your home, office, and gym, which makes creating a one-and-done outfit for the day pretty darn convenient.

An exceptional athleisure collection delivers it all - fit, quality, comfort, and style. A great legging or form-fitting bodysuit is just as essential in your wardrobe as a classic tee or everyday jeans. Enough said. Thankfully, there are numerous labels that are hitting it out of the park in this department, one such being ‘Gym Armour’. Their latest collection with Syra Yousuf has us hooked with its edgy look and top-notch quality products. We definitely know the ones we want for our gym look! This week, You! delves into the latest trends, including how to style athleisure pieces for any and all occasions…
