How to Channel the Athleisure Trend this Spring – Glam Radar

Merriam-Webster defines athleisure as “casual clothing — like yoga pants, sweat pants, and hoodies — that are designed to be worn both for exercising and for doing (almost) everything else.”

As one of the season’s most popular trends, athleisure can be seen on the runways of Vetements and Chloe, to name a few. With that being said, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t heed the call of one of the biggest styles of the season. Be just as fashion forward by following these tips on how to channel the athleisure trend this spring.

Stripe is Life

When one thinks of sporty styles, racer stripes immediately come into mind. While this is a vital part of the athleisure trend, you can make your sporty look more sophisticated by wearing your racer stripes with dressier outfits. The best example for this style is to wear your track pants with a sexy pair of stiletto heels. The fabric of racer stripe track pants are very comfy – it balances the slight discomposure that you can get from your butt-lifting heels.

Let’s Go Down to the Tennis Court

Even if you don’t know how to play tennis, there’s no reason why you should not embrace the athleisure trend that is the tennis skirt. This flirty, mini bottom is just one of the best things to wear if you want to create a sporty yet sophisticated look. Tennis skirts look good with virtually anything, be it a plain graphic top or a lacy blouse. Whenever you are in the mood for a sweet yet comfy outfit, make sure to include the tennis skirt into your ensemble.

Be in  the ‘Hood

The athleisure trend is not as complicated as it seems. In fact, you can easily achieve this chic casual look by wearing a hoodie. The styling should not end at that though, especially if you want to channel the athleisure trend that everybody is clamoring for. Make sure to design your hoodie with a twist. For example, you can layer your hoodie with a structured blazer and trousers for a funky-formal look.

Sneakers = Sophistication

Sneakers are often worn with casual clothes. But because of the athleisure trend, these are now seen with dressier outfits as well. Perhaps the best icon of this fashion style is Gigi Hadid, who is often spotted in a sexy bodycon dress and her fave pair of Stan Smiths. Like the model, you can achieve the elegant athleisure trend by wearing plain sneakers with frilly or feminine outfits.
