Wearing leggings is on trend! Yes, you read that right. Athleisure, or wearing workout clothes in settings other than the gym, is on trend and bigger than ever.
This comfortable look is seemingly a fan favorite, with celebs and fashionistas, from Kendall Jenner to Kate Middleton, debuting their chicest athletic attire.
Here’s a how to guide for nailing your best and most effortless athleisure look.
1. Leggings or Joggers

Leggings are THE athleisure staple. You can never go wrong with a pair of black leggings as the basis of your look. But, there is always the option to get funky with your colors and patterns.
Joggers are a great option, for the days you would rather wear sweatpants but still want to be put together. Shops like Lululemon, Gap Fit, and Forever 21 have great options.
2. Super Soft Tees and Cropped Tanks

Pair those cute leggings with a super soft long sleeve tee, flowing tank, or tight crop top. You can find the right top for just about any occasion. Dress your athleisure up or down by layering different pieces.
3. Hoodies, Jackets, Vests

4. Chic Sneakers

As they say, the shoes make the outfit! Make your look more leisurely with a casual sneaker or make it more athletic with training sneakers. If you’re comfortable, the look will be too. Slip ons, tie-ups, and high tops all complement the athleisure vibe.
