Athleisure, what is it? For one, I can tell you that it is not the definition of when an athlete is not practicing.

What is Athleisure?

Athleisure is a type of fashion style that is derived from streetwear to put emphasis on comfort while still keeping the old t-shirts and outdated sweatpants tucked away in the back of the closet. Defined as a trend in fashion that is designed for workout purposes has been gifted a second life as it is becoming more scene in places such as work, school and casual settings.

Making their way out of the gym and into everyday wardrobes is something that we can all get behind to boost time for activities without having to change from outfit to outfit.
