11 athleisure picks to update your wardrobe
From the office to the gym, it's all good
From the office to the gym, it's all good
Not only has 'athleisure' infiltrated the fashion lexicon, you can now find it in the Merriam-Webster dictionary (Countdown fans and scrabble aficionados take note). Yep, performance-wear as everyday-wear is officially de rigueur. Whether you have actually worked out is, joyfully, irrelevant - Lycra is (generally) considered office-appropriate and you're more likely to catch fashion editors on the front in a pair of box fresh Stan Smiths than killer heels.
The poster-girls for the trend are the street style doyennes - Veronika Heilbrunner, Karlie Kloss, Hailey Baldwin et al. - and they provide endless inspiration on how to style out sportswear, whether you're sipping a post-spin class protein shake, or meeting friends for a glass of Rosé the sun. Don't forget to check out our Black Friday trainer deals, if you're looking for a place to start.
These super slick leggings are sure to grab attention. With FILA's classic shades and asymmetrical colour blocking, it's a total winner.
Teamed with a pair of high waisted joggers and some cool kicks this long-sleeved Pink Sopda top is perfect for outdoor runners (and strollers).
Finally wearable tech is getting sexy. This gorgeous Swarovski Activity Crystal measures your activities and sleep and syncs with your smartphone.
This cool teal-cloured Fitbit makes us actually want to track our daily activity and get back in the gym.
We'll layer this bra top underneath a loose marl grey tank top on days we're just pretending we've done a workout.
ASICS have long been considered the running shoe for pros. We're lacing these up and kick-starting a couch to 10km challenge.
Taking your yoga mat on holidays with you? Then you need this dreamy yoga bag for toting it around for any impromptu serene beach yoga sessions.
These updated Reebock Classics look just as good with jeans as they do in the gym. Win, win.
This slip-on high-top stule is definitely the trainer shilouette of the season. This dove-coloured pair from ECCO are as cool as they are comfy.
