It was the hottest fashion trend of 2015. It was also big trend in 2016. And now, the trend is going stronger than ever in 2017. Yes, athleisure is still in and the 2017 version of it is a real treat to the eyes! Making a sporty appearance in most of the spring fashion shows, the new athleisure trend is not just about scoring points in the gym but inclines more towards a sports-meets-street vibe.
The Fashion Weeks were an exciting way to spot this trend as all the major designers gave their own twist to this trend. So, Versace introduced edgy, colour-blocked tracksuits, nylon parkas and leggings on the runway, while Boss played it up with models strutting on the ramp in mesh slips paired with neon peep-toe sandals. The translucent designs at DKNY were all the rage this season, while Christian Dior went the white way with slim-cut fencing jackets, matching sneakers and cropped pants. Max Mara debuted stunning athleisure that could be easily transitioned to office wear and Tommy Hilfiger went the cool collegiate way with baseball-style bomber jackets in their signature hues of blue, red and white.
The new athleisure is whatever you make of it. If you are in the mood for some skin-hugging leggings to show-off your fabulous curves, athleisure is the way to go. But if you want to cover up the not-so-flattering body parts, you can still go with it. You have the option to choose from different silhouettes as witnessed in the Paris Fashion Week when Sacai, Off-White, Margiela and Fenty x Puma by Rihanna mixed athleisure with corsets and gowns in an exciting way. Since this has turned into a lifestyle of sorts rather than just a fashion trend, you can always pick what works best for you and tweak it to suit your personal style.
