The Secret Ingredient to Elevating Your Athleisure Game

Often, when we think of athleisure wear, we instantly picture yoga pants and oversized hoodies (which is definitely one way to wear it). However, there are many other ways to style the athleisure trend. The biggest tip? Pull casual staple pieces from your closet and pair them with your boldest accessories.

The best part? You probably already have some of these essentials! By simply mixing and matching different pieces and adding dimension to your look, you can achieve an edgy, chic, or street-style vibe in seconds. The majority of your outfit should consist of activewear—think leggings, stretchy pants, and tanks. But it’s the accessories or statement pieces you pair them with that will instantly transform your look.

To help you get started, we’ve compiled some essentials for you!

Accessorizing

If you ask us what the key to mastering athleisure is, the answer is simple: let your accessories do the talking. Just ask Mona Vand, Wellness Expert, Pharmacist, and the stylish wife of Gary Vaynerchuk, who styled our Unfazed sunglasses in Black/Grey for her early morning workouts. The best part about accessorizing is that even the smallest detail can make a big impact.

When considering accessories, break it down into four sub-categories: jewelry, bags, hats, and sunglasses. Depending on your mood, a hat can play a major role. For a laid-back look, go for a baseball cap or beanie. To spice things up, throw on your favorite hoops and add some fun shades—because you can never go wrong with fabulous sunnies!

Statement Jackets/Hoodies

Switching out your hoodie for a denim jacket, leather jacket, trench coat, or even an oversized blazer can make all the difference. The easiest way to transform your look is by changing your outerwear and adding a statement piece. For hoodies, try ones with fun embellishments or structured shoulders to add a unique touch.

Leggings/Sweatpants

To dress up your leggings or sweats, choose materials that elevate you from traditional yoga pants. Faux leather is a fantastic option, and unique prints can also add flair.

Sneakers

Your shoe game can significantly impact your outfit, depending on your plans. For an edgier vibe, opt for combat boots; for a dinner date, pair your leggings with fun printed booties. Just remember: leave your gym shoes at home!

Pro Tips

• Balance Your Outfit: If you’re keeping your leggings on, elevate your upper half and vice versa.

• Go for Sets: Wearing matching sets is the easiest way to feel put together. Just add a statement jacket, cute boots, and a fun bag, and voila—you’re ready to hit the town!

• Accessorize with Confidence: When in doubt, pop on some bold sunglasses, a cute hat, and statement rings, and you’ll feel like a new woman
