MY 'ATHLEISURE' OBSESSION
This 'new' trend of athleisure/sportlux is everything to me, I'm obsessed. Comfy, casual and chic, have I got your attention yet? Making traditional 'gym' wear acceptable to style for everyday. I feel like this style is echoed throughout the Kardashian Klan, with Kanye as well with his YEEZY label. So if you need some inspiration just take a look at one of their instagrams. I wanna take this blog post and show you how I like to wear this athleisure trend and how I like to style obvious gym leggings and make them look really 'dressed up' For me a big part of this look is to really amp up everything else, having hair, make up and accessories on point gives the 'lux' vibe.
I put together two different daytime looks with different pieces from my wardrobe, both really relaxed but still very chic. Quickly let me just tell you where you can find these clothes/where I bought them.
OUTFIT 1 - JACKET | ZARA TSHIRT | TOPSHOP PANTS | PURELIME BAG | ASOS TRAINERS | NIKE
OUTFIT 2 - HOODIE | ZARA SATIN BOMBER | ZARA VEST | THRIFT STORE PANTS | MONDETTA TRAINERS | NIKE HURRACHE BAG | CHANEL
THE ACCESSORIES - With these two outfits I always feel comfy and dressed up, feeling like I'm in my pyjamas BUT looking like I put some time into my outfit. Pairing it with a nice pair of sunglasses (LOOK AT MY COLLECTION HERE) and whatever make up I'm feeling that day. A big part of this look I think are the accessories that you put with it, shoes, jacket, sunglasses etc. For the shoes, a simple pair will do you well, whatever you fav label. I'm in love with my new NIKE HURRACHE, they really give a 'cool vibe' LMSU some of my kicks, that I'm getting more wear out of now because of my sportslux love.
THE CORE PIECES - If this trend tickles your pickle, get yo' as and get yourself some comfy ass leggings, I'm obessessed with mondetta ones, they're really thick and super flattering, also I got some mesh insert leggings from missguided, there's some really cool styles out at the minute so jump on it. For the top half, this athleisure feel is all about layers of different texture. So maybe with your black scuba material leggings, you want to pair them with a white slouchy tshirt, with a black lace bralet peeking through, adding a satin bomber ontop to give that LUX feel. Topped off with some gorge sunglasses & a boxy cross body bag. THERE YA GO, I GIVE YOU SPORTSLUX.
