Millennials love working out. Even more, they love the clothes they work out in. Bringing active attire into our everyday fashion is formally known as athleisure. Athleisure isn’t like any other fashion trend out there: it’s a lifestyle that people live by. Some of athleisure’s biggest fans include A-list celebrities Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. As we all know, athleisure wear can get expensive especially for the brands listed below. But who cares? We spend our money on it anyway because it’s worth it!
