If you’ve gone through your 5th Lululemon legging and wondering if they’re even still fashionably acceptable, we don’t blame you. The term ‘athleisure’ sounds so 2016, yet it seems to be a fashion trend that is still going strong in 2024. A good pair of leggings with an oversized crew neck sweater might not be the most ground breaking fashion statement but we definitely can’t hate on it either. Or maybe athleisure is still a thing because we simply just don’t want to go back to wearing just jeans. So the question remains… is athleisure still trendy in 2024? Let us at Perk’s Liftwear share all the reasons why we still love athleisure and you can decide for yourself.
Is athleisure still trendy in 2024?
It’s giving effortless yet put together
What used to be activewear at the gym has become its very own category of style. It falls somewhere between casual and sporty and is always giving effortless, yet put-together. We want to be cozy and comfortable but we want to be ready to go at the same time.
We love a good street look
Athleisure is also super versatile and is easily mixed with other styles. We’ve seen many celebrities combine their workout wear with chunky designer sneakers, dad hats, and fashionable sunglasses, ultimately creating fun and polished street looks that have taken over the fashion scene.
It’s an everyday thing
The trend is not limited to gym or workout clothes but has expanded to include everyday wear, making it perfect for running errands or hanging out with friends. Athleisure allows people to feel comfortable while still looking stylish, which is why it has become a go-to choice for many.
It’s always being reinvented
Athleisure continues to evolve over the years. It’s mixing and matching athletic clothing pieces with office looks, beach looks, and airport looks, the list just goes on. Designers and brands are also constantly introducing new styles and fabrics, which makes it possible for everyone to find something that fits their personal style.
It’s inclusive
With brands in both the cosmetics and fashion industry struggling to be more inclusive, athleisure brands made sure to get with it as well by offering a wider range of fabrics, colours and sizes, so anyone can feel confident and fashionable in this type of clothing.
It’s WFH friendly
Athleisure has been a life saver for people who have been working from home in recent years, especially during the pandemic. With so many of us stuck at home, wearing our fave sweatpants and hoodie has become a way of life. The comfort and ease of these clothes have made it easier for people to go from WFH to hang-out without having to change their outfits.
We love athleisure and we hope it never goes out of style
We think it’s still trendy in 2024, and it's easy to see why. The combination of comfort, functionality, and style will make this look a fave for many more years to come. Whether you're running errands, working from home, or just hanging out with friends, athleisure is a great choice that will keep you comfortable and looking fashionable. If you want to achieve the ultimate athleisure look, we recommend owning a good pair of biker shorts. Try our sculpting bike shorts paired with a vintage oversized tee. Easy, comfortable, and stylish!
