There is no question that the athleisure trend is by far one of my favorites. Being that the style is so fashionable, chic and EASY 90% of the time you can catch me in leggings and a killer pair of sneakers. Rather than looking I came straight from the gym, I like to amp it up just a little bit! I personally love incorporating textures and layers to athletic wear. I find that throwing on a jacket, statement sweater or even a cardigan can do the trick. Most are probably basic pieces you already have in your closet. Here are my favorite and easy ways to take gym wear to the streets:
- Leather Jacket/Jean Jacket – Honestly, I think throwing on a leather or jean jacket on almost any outfit is going to be perfection. I own so many different style leather and jean jackets because they are so easy to wear casually or really make a statement. Pairing them with athletic wear is no exception!
- Flannel/Button Up – Here is were the texture and layering can really come into play. Take your favorite flannel or comfy button up and layer it with a simple white or black tee and you are good to go! I also really think its a cool and edgy look if you wrap a button up around your waist, I have even with a jean jacket!
- Statement Sweater – Incorporating a fun statement sweater with a pair of basic leggings is an easy way to look so chic and fashionable!
- Cardigan – If you have never paired a cardigan with leggings you are missing out! Recently I started pairing these two pieces together and y’all, I love this look! I mean you’re half business, all comfy haha!
- Scarfs- Sometimes you just need a good scarf to jazz things up. This also plays into the the texture element I really love. I find that bundled up cozy look so chic.
- Great Sneakers – A great pair of shoes is essential. 😉
- Hats – Bad hair day, no problem! I love hats, beanies, headbands and some can really make the outfit complete.
