STYLE GURU STYLE: The Athleisure Trend

Bringing the domains of style and athletics together, athleisure is one of the biggest trends influencing the fashion industry today. Merging the sport and fashion industry collectively, athleisure is more than trend: it is a complete lifestyle and aesthetic. People today are embracing the functionality, comfort, and the stylish aesthetic of athleisure and this trend is here to stay. Whether you are on the school run, in line for morning coffee, or even out shopping at the mall, athleisure as everyday wear for women and men of all ages is becoming all the rage. Athleisure is a representative of a growth in comfort and loungewear, as items like leggings, hoodies, and sneakers are now an acceptable trend to wear out socially all day, every day.

To start off this look, I embodied this athleisure trend by coordinating my burgundy sports bra with my burgundy high-waisted leggings. To add some contrast, I then paired my gray sneakers by Native to complete this activewear look. For the final touch, I complemented the hue of burgundy by adding my Fitbit technology. Not only may a Fitbit serve as a fashion-forward accessory, but more importantly, it helps you improve your health by tracking your exercise, food intake, weight, and sleep.

The next time you go shopping, be sure to pick up a pair of your favorite adorned leggings and a set of trendy sneakers that show off your sense of style. Once you have gathered these few key pieces, you are always guaranteed to look fabulous even on your most idle days.
