Is activewear just for the gym? Hit the streets in almost any city and you’ll immediately get your answer: a resounding, no. Whether it’s a post-class ensemble for an afternoon of shopping, or a sporty look that can take you from errands to straight to the gym, there’s an art to elevating your activewear. We think it’s all in the mix.
Activewear items, like sneakers, capri pants, and leggings have become a major part of today’s fashion ecosystem. Collaborations from the likes of Loewe x On Running and Wales Bonner x Adidas frequently send shoppers into a frenzy, while technical sport pieces from Lululemon and Nike routinely fly off the shelves. We’re investing our time and money into activewear—why save it solely for the gym?
If you’re not sure how to wear it beyond the obvious, that’s where we come in. Not only does mixing in an item of activewear add comfort to your ensemble, it also contributes to a cool air of nonchalance. We’ll show you how in our fashion-girl fitness styling guide. Read on!
The Bike Short
Whether you’re running to a hot yoga class, or just pretending to, you can upgrade your bike shorts with a linen button up, ballet flats, and raffia tote.
Capris leggings are the style of the summer; they serve as proof that off-duty wear doesn’t have to look sloppy. Wear yours with a simple tee and thong sandals.
Sporty dresses, like this one from Lululemon, strike the delicate balance of style and ease. Pair it with delicate mesh flats and a cute bag for an off-duty summer day.
