Anything related to health, wellness, and sports has been circling us these past couple of years, especially during the pandemic. Today, it's crucial for us to be healthy and fit, mentally and physically. Because who wants to catch viruses? Let alone infect them. Thus, more and more people are migrating to a healthier lifestyle from becoming a vegan, doing intermittent fasting, starting to go to the gym, yoga camp, pilates, TRX at home, riding a bicycle every day, you name it!
With this magnificent lifestyle transformation, the fashion industry is intrigued. In the last two years, many brands from local and international have been racing to create the best workout attire with all "candies" on the side with personalized preferences to suit any number of sports. Not only that, many people have slipped their daily schedule in with quick online classes or private gym sessions and feel the need to show their #postworkout pictures on social media. So, variations of gym attire are highly needed, and for the stylish kind, putting their sportswear in their #ootd is mandatory this is where the Athleisure term is born and widely used.
Designing suitable sportswear might look easy, but do you know it's the other way around? In sportswear, the function goes over the form, where some parts of the clothes need to be more durable than the other parts, for instance, areas near joints. It needs to grip firmly but not too tight for you to move freely. But how about Athleisure? Yes, even harder! Because the function equals the form.
Some of the brands at the top of the list include Alo Yoga, Under Armour, Lululemon, Athleta, Girlfriend Collective, and not to forget Nike and Adidas with their constant innovations and collaborations.
