HOW TO GO FROM THE GYM TO BRUNCH IN UNDER 5 MINUTES

- - No comments

The athleisure (activewear as streetwear) trend is not only chic, but also practical and super comfortable to wear. It’s all about looking fresh and streamlined.
By now you've likely seen the viral video about wearing activewear everywhere but the gym. If you haven’t seen it and are keen on a good chuckle, check it out here. Jokes aside, activewear as streetwear (or athleisure, as the trend is so aptly called) has become a legitimate style of dressing. Just take a look at some of the most recent runway collections and you’ll see why. The trend is not only chic, it's also practical and super comfortable to wear.

Sporting Chic

Just to be clear, athleisure is not about wearing the baggy contents of your gym bag on a date or at brunch with your girlfriends. This trend is all about looking fresh and streamlined – think sporty vest and tights with killer heels.

RE-MIX

The quickest way to change up your look is with jewellery. From earrings and necklaces to bangles and rings, statement pieces add a touch of sparkle that elevates an otherwise basic outfit. The bigger the jewels, the bigger the impact, so go for bold items, rather than fine, dainty jewellery.

IN THE NUDE

One way to make a big impact with minimal effort is to keep it tonal.  The goal here is to pull of a feminine look, while keeping it comfortable. Keep it girly by pairing neutrals with glitzy items.

STICK TO STREET STYLE

Earn instant street cred by opting for more trendy pieces when heading to your workout. Keep the look graphic, streamlined and sporty.

LAYER UP

Throwing on an oversized jacket or coat will help balance out your proportions – and make your legs  look long and lean. If you're going to wear a bag, opt for a tote or waist bag in leather. Aim to keep your look casual and cool by mixing different textures and fabrics (definitely avoid dressing top to toe in lycra).

Now you’re ready to meet your friends for lunch. Don’t forget to stretch!
