Athleisure is here to STAY- Add Layers!

Athleisure is bigger than a trend, as evidenced by the people who wear yoga pants anywhere {guilty!}.

The latest buzzword in fashion is "athleisure," one of those creative terms that are so silly and nonsensical as to be perfectly descriptive. Designers and retailers are preoccupied with clothes that fit a somewhat broad category of being appropriate for either athletic or leisure pursuits, or both.

Athleisure represents a significant, and likely everlasting, sea change in fashion and style. It has even started to appear on many designer runways and look books. The reasons are plentiful, but the most obvious cause stems from people who are embracing healthier lifestyles, while also needing more functionality from their wardrobes. The demand for everyday comfort, plays a role, especially for anyone trying to work fitness into an already overtaxed daily schedule. Who wants to haul an extra outfit to work, a teacher conference, lunch with the girls, or a shopping trip. Minimalist is in.  Burdensome is out. Style is still in.
