The luxe sports trend known as Athleisure, are hitting bodies near you. It is defined as a trend in fashion in which clothing designed typically for workouts is worn in other settings, such as at the workplace, at school, or at other casual or social occasions. You have probably seen it being sported on the busy streets of New York City, as well as on the quiet country lanes in the Hamptons. Gucci and Valentino have amped up their collections by designing stylish, comfortable, and sporty Athleisure.

We’ve left behind the (college) days spent romping around in tattered sweatpants and in hoodies worn smooth. While we’re mainly in love with structure and silhouettes that can easily transition from the gym to the sidewalk, we also look for those telltale signs that whisper to the people around us, “Look! You can’t tell if I’m walking to Equinox or picking up fruit at the greenmarket!” Those signs include reflective stripes in creative locations on garments, discreet logos and luxe prints. At a time when wellness is highly prioritized, people look to make it their identity and fashion is the natural medium to do so. Here I’ve rounded up some of our favorite pieces that you will live in all day… while looking incredibly chic in doing so.
