With this trend, men can now look sharp and stylish while also feeling comfortable. However, if you’re not sure exactly what this fashion trend is or how to wear it, we don’t blame you. Many men don’t know where to start and fear that they won’t be able to pull it off but let us be the first to tell you otherwise. You can pull it off and we’re here to guide you through it.
What is Athleisurewear?
First things first, you need to understand what this fashion trend is and why it’s a hot trend. It isn’t about pulling out the sweatpants, not brushing your hair, and wearing the shirt you went to bed in. Yes, it’s a trend that allows you to wear comfortable clothes, but it still needs to be paired correctly so you don’t come off looking careless. Athleisure is a trend that combines comfort and style. It allows you to wear your work out clothes even if you’re not heading to the gym. It’s all about functionality, comfort, and looking good all at the same time.
When to Wear it?
I’m sure you’re wondering when it’s appropriate to wear activewear. Even though athleisure wear is meant to be worn all day, there is a time and a place for it. Chances are you don’t want to pull off sweats when you have a business meeting you have to present at, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear it for the rest of the day. Athleisurewear is great for the gym (obviously), but also for all-day wear. Running errands? Throw on some joggers. Hanging with the guys? Grab your running jacket to pair over that fitted shirt you’re wearing. Athleisure wear is great even if you’re headed to a casual date. The key to pulling off this look is making sure the pieces you are wearing are clean, neat, and well-paired. If you can do that, you’re guaranteed to look sharp and sophisticated in your athleisure wear.
How to Wear it?
There are so many ways to wear athleisure wear which is one of the many reasons it’s gained so much popularity over time. The combinations are endless. The most important rule to remember is balance. Balance is the secret to making your activewear look sophisticated rather than run-down. Here are a few ways to pull off the trend:
Sweaters- Sweaters are a timeless piece that can be paired with just about anything. The best way to finish it when attempting the athleisure look is to pair it with your favorite jeans and sneakers for a subtle, yet stylish look. Accessorize with your favorite sunglasses or hat.
Joggers- The key to successfully stepping out in sweats is balance and fit. You don’t want to wear oversized baggy sweatpants that are falling off. Buy a pair of slim-fit or tapered joggers which will make the outfit look sharp and well-presented. Top it offer with layers. Don’t be afraid to mix up the style.
Bomber Jackets- This is the holy grail of athleisure wear for men and perfect for pulling off any look. The “baggy-looking” jacket is great to balance a slim-fit outfit you put together. You can add this jacket to complete any style for comfort and still look stylish.
