There’s no denying it, today activewear is being worn far beyond the confines of the Pilates studio. As the trend of athleisurewear continues to spike in popularity, in 2024 we are no longer just looking for pieces that are aesthetically alluring, but rather effortless in both functionality and comfort.
Whilst it is crucial that your core athleisure pieces can seamlessly blend into your pre-existing wardrobe, how you opt to style your athleisurewear will ensure your outfit is as fashionable as it is functional.
With that said, these styling suggestions are bound to make sure all your athleisurewear can be worn from the studio to the street.
Keep layering to a minimum with a less-is-more approach
Whilst the temperature may have dropped, keeping your athleisurewear sleek and simple comes down to a streamlined yet clever approach to layering.
One layering trick both fitness enthusiasts and celebrities are gravitating towards is the ever-so-simple, trench-coat hoddie combo.
A clean snug hoodie paired with a monochromatic trench oozes ease and sophistication. Whilst the popular bomber jacket will forever take prime position in our wardrobe, in 2024 fashion critics are encouraging us to say bye-bye to the bomber and embrace the upmarket trans-seasonal trench.
Pre or post Pilates this piece of outerwear is as quick to throw on as it is to take off.
Scrap what you think about Sweatpants and Sneakers
Despite many of us not being particularly fond of the retro junky-soled dad sneaker that continues to rise and fall in popularity, the beloved sneaker is an absolute must in any activewear assemble, and should not be overlooked.
Sharing the same popularity is sweatpants, and whilst there is definitely those that are refined for the comfort of our home, in 2024 the trendiest sweatpants are being spotted in gyms and yoga studios.
When paired together, the duo create a trendy off-duty look that is both relaxing, practical and chic. For this athleisure trend to remain rather street style-esque, choose clean, crisp sweatpants in solid hues – we suggest darker tones to avoid showing any dirt. Slipping on a modern sneaker, monochromatic in tone will also ensure this combo remains chic.
Take it to the next level with texture
Every fitness enthusiast knows that when it comes to investing in athleisurewear, it can be easy to revert back to what you know best and play it safe with nylon or lycra. Although these may be ideal for your sweat session, when it comes to fashion appeal majority of these fabrics can appear bland without the addition of texture or tone.
Today texture means big business in the fitness world, whether it’s ribbed, seamless, or faux leather, the addition of texture adds an element of intrigue. One example of this can be seen in the popularity of both seamless leggings and textured outerwear – think quilted vests.
Experiment with your colour palette
Gone are the days of monochromatic hues being the answer to every and any styling crisis. Whilst our beloved neutrals remain of great styling significance, bold and bright pops of colour add not only intrigue but an aspect of personality and allure to your sweat session attire.
While it may be easy to invest in a ruby red sports bra and call it a day, this year the experimentation of colour has bypassed far beyond the crop top. With the likes of Bella Hadid, Winnie Harlow and Jennifer Lopez known to step out, loud and proud in only the most colourful athleisurewear, the experimentation of colour can be seen splashed across neon-esque bum bags, multi-hued track pants and more.
Spruce your tennis attire on and off the court
Whether it was the successful launch of Zendaya’s Challenges movie or the upcoming Olympics, the trend of wearing your tennis attire far beyond the court is undoubtedly having its time in the sun.
Although many celebrities and public figures are simply sprucing the trend to remain relevant, sporty chic tennis attire is actually as practical as it is fashionable.
Whilst a pleated skort can be worn from the court to the coffee shop, the popular knee-grazing tennis dress is ideal for those mornings when running errands seems more like a workout.
Despite the majority of tennis athleisurewear to be monochromatic in hue, brands like The Upside, Aje Athletica and Lululemon are proving that a dose of colour adds a modern refresh.
