THE ATHLEISURE TREND:
STYLES FOR SUNRISE TO SUNSET





THE ATHLEISURE TREND: STYLES FOR SUNRISE TO SUNSET

To some, the term “athleisure” (a combination of the words “athletic” and “leisure”) sounds contradictory. But athleisure wear is all about versatility—wearing clothes that can serve you at work, at the gym, and on the street.

To us at P.E Nation, that sounds oh so right. Continue reading for a closer look into the world of athleisure, and discover how to express yourself through this ever-evolving trend with our curated style guide.



THE ORIGINS OF ATHLEISURE - AND WHERE IT'S HEADED

The athleisure market has evolved over the years since the term was first introduced in the late 1970s. At first, athleisure related to clothing that shared a similar look and feel to athletic clothing, but was worn for more casual activities. Now, it’s more about comfortable clothes that can be worn for a variety of occasions and activities, both day and night.

Textile innovations had a big part to play in the rise of athleisure as we know it today. Over the course of the 20th century, synthetic fabrics like polyester and elastics were developed and popularised. No longer did you have to work all day in stifling cotton. Instead, your clothes could breathe and move with you. And everyone benefited, not just athletes.

So, what can you expect from the athleisure trend moving forward? InStyle says it's becoming less of a trend, and more of an everyday wear, as work and social environments continue to evolve. Are you ready to join the athleisure lifestyle? P.E Nation is ready to show you how.

 




ATHLEISURE: VERSATILITY MEETS STYLE

The key to rocking the athleisure look is wearing clothes that transition seamlessly between activities. For instance, leggings and a tee can take you from fitness to date night if you know how to style them. The key is to understand how to put together an entire leggings outfit, which is exactly what we can help you with to achieve your ideal look.

Here are some tips for creating a next-level athleisure look:

  • Accessorise – Want to wear your sweats to run errands but feel a little more put together? Layer on some jewellery or a bag for added intrigue. You can easily shed these pieces before you hit the gym.

  • Mix and match – Part of mastering the art of athleisure clothing is knowing how to be adaptable. Consider elevating your athleisure looks with a leather jacket or your favourite pair of platforms. Then, dress them back down when you’re home or ready to work out.

  • Add colours and patterns – Make a statement anywhere you go with pops of colour and patterns in your athleisure fits. Try a pair of floral or leopard print leggings, or command attention with a neon yellow top.

The number one rule of athleisure? Make it your own. Feel comfortable in your own skin and celebrate your unique personality with clothes designed to reflect your most authentic self.
