The most interesting shoes of the season are neither pumps nor chunky heeled shoes. Stylish flats are having a major fashion moment. They’re comfortable (per usual) and oh so stylish. Between classic ballet flats, D’orsay type flats and Ladies’ oxford flats, there are many ways for you to make a very personal style statement that’s true to the ethos of athleisure.

These are your go-to shoes for a seriously sporty athleisure look. Wear them with anything and everything. They’re comfy & they’re cool!

The tracksuit is classic sporting gear. It’s usually comfy and warm. But athleisure isn’t about wearing full sporting gear. It’s about adapting sporting gear for everyday and everywhere use. So as Avery Matera suggests in her article for Glamour, it’s better to ‘breakup’ your tracksuit gear and wear them as separates, pairing them with other stylish and athleisurely pieces. (Think t-shirts, cropped tops, jeggings, leggings, etc).

Ah yes! There’s a strong athleisure twist to the onesies trend that emerged last year. This year, they’re not only made of the most comfortable fabrics, they’re also structured to accommodate a more active, everyday lifestyle.

The fitbit is quintessential athleisure gear. It represents our desire to not only look the part but act & live the part. Fitbits are designed to track vital signs (Heartbeat) and measure activity rates like distance covered and calories burned.

In an interesting union of fashion, lifestyle and tech, there are many sleek, seamless fitbits and gorgeous fitbit cases to match, designed by the likes of Tory Burch and Michael Kors. Haute fashion fitbits are also out there for people who can afford them.

In order for clothes to be comfortable a la athleisure, they must be made of the right fabrics. That means cotton, cashmere, wool, jersey and their combinations. These and other cutting edge fabrics are enjoying the limelight thanks to this trend. And, they’re increasingly used to make skirts and stylish sheath dresses that let women wear athleisure looks to their offices and boardrooms without breaking any dresscodes.

The global rise of leggings and jeggings was probably a herald of the full mode athleisure we’re witnessing today. While this trend seems to have passed its peak, it’s still very relevant.

The athleisure trend would not be complete without a suite of outerwear options to match. If you love jackets like I do, you’ll appreciate these athleisurely options. They range from casual to polished and can take you anywhere you want to go. Try a sleek bomber jacket or cropped jacket for a befitting work look and a stylish varsity jacket for more casual occasions.

If you’re seriously into athleisure, you’ve got to get some bags to match. Your crossbody bags from one or two seasons ago are still on trend. You might also want to get a chic backpack as they are the athleisure bags of the moment!

Finally, cap it off! Athleisure means not having to obsess about good & bad hair days. It means neat, practical dos like ponytails, braids and cornrows. And, it means throwing on a facecap or Fedora once in a while just because.
