Athleisure: Reigning Champ

As athleisure becomes more and more popular it’s imperative that your style is something that stands out amongst the masses. I’m excited to introduce you to my new style crush, but before I do that let me break down athleisure. Merriam Webster defines it as casual clothing designed to be worn both for exercising and for general use. The phrased was coined by the fashion industry in 2014 to describe the “rising broad category of apparel that is clothing which can work for athletic pursuits, leisure time, or both.” As time becomes more of a precious commodity we’re forced to constantly look for ways to save time. This popular trend allows you to have an elevated look as you run errands without having to change before hitting the gym. You can master the look by opting for pieces that have a phenomenal fit, extraordinary fabrics, and supreme functionality. We’re all familiar with brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armor, but allow me to introduce you to my style crush Reigning Champ.
