About Athleisure
Athleisure brought clothing associated with exercise into ordinary daily life. Leggings, sweatshirts, track pants and sneakers could travel from a workout to shopping, a café or a social occasion. During the 2010s, sports brands and fashion designers expanded this shared territory through collaborations and more elaborate styling. Stretch, movement and comfort remained useful reference points, although a runway interpretation of sportswear was not necessarily designed for athletic performance.
