Athleisure outfits combine function and fashion, typically showcasing activewear in daily non-sport settings. Great for on-the-go, athleisure takes traditional sporty clothing and incorporates it into your everyday wardrobe. You’ll be ready for any activity with pieces like biker shorts, sweatshirts, and sneakers this season! Keep reading to learn more about how to combine streetwear and athleticwear into the perfect athleisure style.

We love the versatility and flexibility athleisure wear brings to our lives. Whether you’re a busy soccer mom, college student, or going to the gym, activewear should be a staple in your closet. Athleisure includes comfortable and breathable pieces, normally with technical or cotton materials. Our favorite trendy pieces are seamless rompers or jumpsuits, leggings, biker shorts, and crewneck or hooded sweatshirts. Sports bras and tank tops are also a simple go-to, especially for a matching set moment.  You can then pair hats and chunky sneakers to complete your athleisure looks. When the weather cools down, fleece sweatshirts and sweatpants can create an elevated casual look too. Our favorite brands that carry all these awesome athletic pieces include FP Movement, KimberlyC, Women's 1897 Active and Simply Southern.

Text at the bottom reads 'MEN'S ATHLETIURSE' with 'JOGGERS, HOODIES, TEES'.

Although most of these athletic pieces are catered towards women, men’s athleisure is on the rise too! Our go-to men’s athletic wear includes joggers, hoodies, and shorts. They can finish the look with casual sneakers, a hat, and a backpack too. You’ll love them all from brands like The North Face, Patagonia, and our Glik's Exclusive brand 1897.

With any athleisure outfit or activity, you want to be sure you have the correct shoes. Sneakers, whether your walking in the park or walking around the mall, will give your feet the comfort you need. And make sure you accessorize with a hat and your favorite water bottle or tumbler to keep you hydrated along the way.
