Our Favorite Athleisure Wear
Whether you’re working out or just working from home, athleisure wear deserves a designated drawer (or two) in your dresser. Since athleisure is equal parts comfy and cute, sporty and stylish, you can essentially do anything in your favorite joggers, statement sweatshirts, soft-knit tees and sports bras—eat, play, exercise, sleep, repeat! Although there’s a time and place for jeans and tailored pieces, the athleisure trend is not going anywhere anytime soon (kind of like you). Dress it up or dress it down, and build on your current collection by browsing our top picks.
Old Navy Vintage Specially Dyed Pullover Hoodie
Everyone needs one or two tie-dye pieces in their style arsenal. This cozy vintage-inspired hoodie is tapered and fitted for a casual but never sloppy aesthetic. The olive green hue is subtle enough that it doesn’t scream, “I made this at summer camp,” while still providing a fun twist on the tie-dye trend. Want to get a little bold with your look? Get the coordinating sweatpants. (Who doesn’t love a matching sweat set?)
Athleta Salutation Ribbed Tights
Want to wear your yoga leggings all day? We won’t judge. You do you, whether that means morning salutations or afternoon Netflix sessions. Of course, you’ll want a comfy, stretchy pair to get you through either (or both) of those essential activities. This Athleta pair offers ample support, ribbed design and side-stash pockets—perhaps for movie snacks.
H&M Cotton-Blend Sweatpants
High-waisted sweatpants with exaggerated elastic hems are making a major comeback. The fitted bottom adds a little pizzazz that goes great with chunky sneakers, sleek slip-ons or, yes, even high heels. Who says you can’t wear stilettos with sweats?
Club Monaco Perfect Tee
Don’t underestimate the power of the perfect tee. It can pull together any ensemble and make a statement with the simplest silhouette. Fitted and refined, you can dress it up under a blazer or wear it with your sweats for a workout. It’s the ultimate closet staple and a must-have in your athleisure rotation.
Belldini Black-Label Hooded Sweater With Front Pockets
Want to feel like you’re wearing the coziest sweatshirt but look polished for a video conference call? Enter the sweater hoodie. This delicious oversize option can be dressed up or down, and it offers a touch of casual elegance.
Fila Sport Scoop-Back Shelf Bra Tank Top
Sporting athleisure wear all day might subtly encourage you to work out (or not). Either way, a tank top with a built-in sports bra could offer the gentle support and push you need. If you’re not feeling cardio, you’ll still stay comfortable and supported without wires and cups. This Fila Scoop-Back Shelf Bra Tank Top is great for at-home exercise or layered under a cardigan.
Adidas Primeblue SST TRACK PANTS
Classic Adidas tracksuit pants will never go out of style. This pair is slim, sleek and made with a sustainable stretchy fabric. You can wear them to run, race out on an errand or have a marathon in front of the television.
Whether you consider yourself athletic or you just prefer a leisurely lifestyle, there’s a good reason to own a solid collection of athleisure wear. Wear it to the gym, wear it on errands or wear it lounging at home. You can feel comfortable and look cute—win-win.
