What To Wear Now: Sportswear

Sportswear, active wear and athleisure all represent a new style of dressing where athletic gear meets fierce fashion creating a unique mix of style and function. The trend stems from fashion’s obsession with ‘having an active and healthy lifestyle’. Since you look good as you work out at the gym, why not carry that awesomeness out to the street?

As shared, the result is a unique mix of style and function. Whether you’re living an active lifestyle or not, it’s now stylish to look like you do. So get your gym gear ready, not to go to the gym, but to slay! We’re talking track suits, sporty jumpsuits, sports jerseys, jogging pants, sweat pants and sporty sneakers.

Most of this clothing is designed with unique features exclusively designed to provide functional benefits to people involved in athletic activities. These include innovative knitting that sucks sweat fast. Imagine benefiting from these unique features as you’re out there running errands!

For someone living an active lifestyle, this style helps to strike a balance between showing off your personal style as you work out and still looking the part away from the gym.

Sportswear pieces are becoming style staples as seen on bodies of everyone from Rihanna to Tiwa Savage. Now, there’s every reason to add one or two pieces in your closet as well. See how to style them.
