Despite the options, there are still specific athleisure wear trends we want you to know about, so we’ve brought them all together here for you. Stay tuned!
High Neck Lines
Whether it’s a sports bra or a pullover, if there’s one thing we’ve noticed a lot of recently in the world of athleisure is that the necklines have gotten higher. Most women have ditched work out shirts all together for the higher neckline sports bras. It makes the piece of clothing have more coverage, making it more appropriate to wear a shirt. It is balanced well with leggings or sweats. Men, on the other hand, have been seen wearing pullovers. Pullovers are lightweight and breathable sweaters that can be used as a shirt. Perfect for on the go.
Matching Sets
Many celebrities and fashionistas have been seen sporting a matching set. This is where the top clothes are identical to the bottom clothes. What we love most about this is that it gives people the opportunity to play around with fun prints and colors. Matching sets can be seen in a pair of crop tops and leggings or even sweatpants with a matching sweatshirt. Both are typically paired with sneakers meant to make a statement.
Tie-Dye
Whoever said tie-dye was dead for good clearly didn’t know anything about fashion. After all, history always repeats itself. Tie-dye is coming back in the form of athletic clothing and we’re loving it more than ever. Being subtle is not the point of this trend. We’re seeing tie-dyed leggings, tie-dyed socks, and even full-blown tie-dye hoodies. It’s one of those trends you want to embrace while it’s here. We don’t see it sticking around very long, but it’s fun while it lasts.
Sneakers
We’re sure you’ve noticed that sneakers are becoming more noticeable and more of a statement piece. The sneakers we see trending are meant to be used for performance, but not limited to it. They’re also meant to look good and compliment any athleisure outfit you’re going for. They’re the perfect balance between bulky and sleek.
Bike Shorts
There used to be a time where biker shorts were only to be worn in a cycling class, but now we’re seeing more and more women sporting this look. When this style first started trending, many people weren’t sure how they felt about the biker shorts look, but their popularity has been confirmed. Biker shorts are perfect because they provide coverage and are flattering in all the best places.
