It is a fact that while we all want to be fashionable and stylish, thereโs no denying that if it comesย effortlessly and takes less time than it usually would, we are going to grab it with both hands, albeitย languorously.ย
Athleisure โ athletic and leisure. The terms are completely on different ends of the spectrum but thatโsย the beauty of this trend.
The trend has been around for a while and it probably stemmed from 2014โsย Normcore. However it is now much more accessible and frankly, straightforward. And it seems like it isย going to be around for quite some time because wearing insanely comfortable clothing and footwear atย all times. . . well, who doesnโt want that?
I say accessible because you can start to get on board with the trend from simply a pair of chic yogaย pants, a well-fitting sports bra, a denim jacket and trusty white sneakers. For that very reason, it isย becoming more and more apparent that Athleisure is not just a trend anymore, but a lifestyle. Rightย from high street to designer wear, the stores are flooded with clothing that fits the broad spectrum ofย being perfect for either athletic or leisure activities or both. Athleisure is right up the alley of people whoย are pressed for time and are looking for fashion thatโs effortless and comfortable. And truthfully, thatย describes most urban people today.ย
Come to think of it, Bollywood woke up to the trend as early as 1997 when Karisma Kapoor struttedย around everywhere in a sports bra and shorts in Dil To Pagal Hai. Or Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai whoย made headbands and white sneakers the norm. Well, trends do come back and this particular one hasย come back with a bang and in better, breathable fabric and styles.
Be it your Adidas Superstars, Lululemon yoga pants, Chanel couture sneakers, or even Beyonceโsย Athleisure line Ivy Park, the trend is all set to carry on well into 2017. And I donโt hear anyoneย complaining! Carrying an extra outfit to work for lounging around later? So passรฉ.
