ATHLEISURE STYLE

Combination of a lazy & statement look

Feminine sporty chic or better known as athleisure is a lazy statement look. Why do I claim the trend as lazy? Because in the early days of the emergence of the trend, athleisure was meant to assimilate workout fits into everyday wear. It justified the use of a workout outfit beyond working out session. If you are simply just not in the mood of dressing up and you want to skip the jeans, your workout fit would come in handy in your lazy times. Yes, i’m talking about your workout leggings or your parka sweater. No, you are not breaking the rule by wearing such outfits for your everyday wear. Athleisure has become the norm. Nonetheless, over time athleisure has evolved into something phenomenal. It has been elavated to a whole new look. A combination of comfort fashion with a statement look. Lazy is definitely out of picture with the elavated trend of athleisure. For someone who doesn’t workout like me, this fashion trend has allowed me to experience sporty dress up too. With that, I have rounded up four (4) sporty chic looks for your inspiration.

FIRST OUTFIT

The fundamental pieces to make up your athleisure look is your sportwear. For this look, I have put on my white sweater from H&M with a sweatskirt from Zara to carry off the sporty vibe. The sweatskirt itself has fulfilled the element of an athleisure look. I mean you can’t be wearing a long skirt and expect to run in it. So, it’s definitely meant for a feminine sporty look. The design of the skirt is similar to a sweatpants but in a skirt ensemble. For the statement piece, I have decided to elavate the look with the wearing of a grey blazer that I stole from my husband’s closet. These three pieces combined checked the box of an athleisure look. But for more touch of feminity to the whole look, I opted for my loafer heels and accesorized with my mini bag from Nazifi Nasri. For my hijab style, I went for a clean look draping so it won’t empower the whole outfit.

SECOND OUTFIT

For this look, I have put on my husband’s Dri-FIT sweater which he thrifted as the sporty element of an athleisure look. The sweater was a bit bulky and long for my petite-sized body, so I tucked it in inside my pleated skirt. Skipped my blazer for this outfit and went with a pleated skirt as a stylish statement for this outfit. For my footwear and handbag, I wore my usual New Balance kicks and my Balenciaga bag in white to complement the outfit. To finish the look, I opted to wear my bucket hat from Petit Moi to bring off more athleisure vibe to the outfit.

THIRD OUTFIT

If you search Athleisure on Pinterest, similar outfit to this would be overflowing your Pinterest feed. I supposed it’s the IT girl outfit and I can’t miss out of trying the same look too. The basic of this athleisure look is the blazer as an outerwear and the sweatshirt as the innerwear. These two pieces would always goes together to create this look. Bottom wear for this look on the other hand can vary from a straight cut trousers, masculine trousers or just a simple sweatpants. As for me, I paired up the blazer and sweatshirt with my sweatpants in white. I personally chose to wear my sweatpants in white to create the monochrome look when paired with my white blazer. Another piece to create this look is the kicks, again I wore my usual New Balance kicks and to complement the whole look, I wore my Nazifi Nasri’s mini bag.

In the same outfit, I made a little bit of twist to put on my heels & it still fits the athleisure style. You can get two looks of the same style by just changing the footwear.

FOURTH OUTFIT

Ultimate casual but still chic athleisure outfit. For this outfit, you only need the basic as the first outfit, your sweatshirt and your sweatskirt. The sweatskirt creates a statement for this outfit and fulfill the combination of a comfort but stylish athleisure look. I wore my new balance kicks to complement this outfit and accessorised with my bucket hat from Petit Moi. As easy as that.
