What Is Athleisure Style?
Athleisure style refers to comfortable, casual clothing that can be easily worn to the gym and for normal everyday wear. It blends athletic wear with leisure clothing, allowing for versatile outfits suitable for both workouts and everyday activities. This style emphasizes comfort, functionality, and aesthetics, often incorporating stretchy fabrics and stylish designs. Athleisure is a style all its own, with common pieces such as leggings, hoodies, sweatshirts, tees and pullovers.
Who Can Wear Athleisure Style?

Here are the exact steps to use when creating your athleisure wardrobe:
Step 1: CHOOSE the Base Color of your wardrobe
First, you’ll need to decide if you want to use navy or black as your base color. By focusing on one base color, your wardrobe will be more cohesive and all the pieces will coordinate well. Black is an all-around great base color to use because it goes with so many other colors and black is widely available in an array of athleisure styles. If you would rather not use black, then navy goes well with several other colors as well. If you don’t like navy or black, you can use a shade of brown as your base instead; for example, taupe, tan or dark brown colors will look great.
Step 2: select a few Neutral Color tops
First, “what are neutral color wardrobe staples”? Let me explain what “wardrobe staples” are. Wardrobe staples are clothes and shoes that are solid colors, like black, white and gray, which are classic pieces that never go out of style. When you are choosing wardrobe staples, make sure they are all neutral colors, like black, white and gray, so they will all coordinate.
Select any of these athleisure tops in one or more neutral colors like black, white, stripes and gray or beige and place them in your closet or on your wardrobe rack:
- Solid Color Tee (short sleeve or long sleeve)
