The times are changing now because activewear isn’t only for the gym—these pieces are fast becoming a part of everyday style. Activewear is comfortable and never looks out of place and you can wear it whether you’re going to a workout class, running errands or even grabbing brunch with friends. Athleisure is in full swing right now, meaning you’ve got even easier opportunities to give your looks that toddler aisle-flowing transition from sweat to street. Here’s how to style your activewear for everyday wear:
1. Embrace the Power of Layering
Layering is by far one of the easiest ways to take your activewear from just that: activewear, to something that can be worn on its own. Pair a nice sports bra or fitted tank top with a cute hoodie, oversized jacket, or bomber jacket if you want to put hutzpah on. Try searching for outerwear items featuring a unique, thing such as a zipper or mesh detail that will add an extra something to your outfit.
If you are wearing leggings with a crop top, wear an oversized denim jacket, or a longline cardigan to give it some street style. The trick is to balance–fitted with loose for a pleasing look.
2. Choose Neutral Colors with Simple Designs
When it comes to wearing activewear daily, but in a more casual style, some items work best because they’re in neutral colors and simple designs. All you have to do is pick your colors: black, white, grey, navy and earthy tones are all incredibly easy to mix and match while giving your activewear an elevated, more versatile look. Think of a pair of sleek black leggings with a white crew neck sweatshirt and some trendy sneakers that can transition easily from morning yoga to afternoon coffee runs.
Going for a more sophisticated look, move away from extremely bold prints and rather go for ultra minimalistic pieces that can be easily layered or combined with another fashion item from your wardrobe. There’s nothing wrong with adding a bright handbag or scarf for a pop of color.
3. Make Sneakers your best friend
I love how activewear is comfortable, yet stylish. The sneaker is key to athleisure and can make or break your outfit. For a paper white moccasin, or a simple black sneaker, that will go with (almost) anything, such as joggers, leggings, or a sporty skirt.
Blimp: Well, trendy slip-on sneakers or chunky dad shoes are also a good way to spice up you’re look while staying comfy too. For example, you could also play it safe by matching your sneakers to your accessories and color scheme, or to add more style, match your sneakers in the same color as your accessories, if they’re not matching perfectly, then at least the tip of the shoe should match the rest.
4. Try High-Waisted Pieces for a Trendy Silhouette
Not only do high-waisted leggings and pants work to give you a flattering shape, but they also make for the perfect look to achieve a street styler look. High-waisted leggings pair well with a crop top or tucked-in t-shirt to accentuate the waistline, and the belt bag will definitely up your style and convenience.
To dress it up, go for a form-fitting high-waisted straight-leg pant with a blazer or tuck in a button-up shirt. It makes your workout clothes office chic enough that you can wear them for brunch dates or casual meetings.
5. Play with Accessories
The secret weapon to making activewear chic and every day is accessories. If you wish to lend a bit more character to your look, then throw in a baseball cap, a sleek style crossbody bag, or a pair of statement sunglasses. You can also throw sophistication without compromising comfort using a minimalistic watch or gold jewelry.
That said, don’t skip the functional accessories that can take your look up a notch—like a roomy exercise bag, or even a chic backpack. Added to your outfit they provide practicality while being on the ready for whatever the day decides to bring.
6. Mix Activewear with Casual Staples.
If you feel more dressed casually for a streetwear-inspired look, combine your activewear with regular wardrobe choices. So dress that bad boy up, pair your favorite workout leggings with an oversized button-down shirt, or wear your sports bra unique you’ve got an open shirt on so you’re feeling a bit more relaxed. You can also rock a trendy cropped hoodie over high-waist jeans and look ultra laid back.
Here’s the thing – the first step is to upend Boundary activewear by mixing and matching it with pieces from your wardrobe that are more traditional and every day. It’s a simple blend of athletic and casual styles that work in almost any place.
