athleisure

If you hadn’t already subscribed to the athleisure aesthetic, we’re willing to bet that, after the last year, you’ve come to not only accept it but wholeheartedly embrace it. Whether by way of joggers, leggings, hoodies, or bralets, lounge and activewear have been at the top of the style agenda for 15 months and counting—and you’ll be pleased to hear that, even as restrictions begin to ease, it’s not going anywhere. It’s official—comfortable clothing is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier about it. That said, not all athleisure is created equal. We’ve been let down by enough cheap imitations in our time to know that some pieces are of a calibre all their own and are worth spending a little extra on. And of all the activewear labels out t...

It seems like there’s a new loungewear trend cropping up every day. Whether it’s a pair of cosy joggers or the newest legging trend there are plenty of trends that appeal to everyone. Well, we’re about to add yet another athleisure trend to your radar. Yoga unitards, activewear bodysuits, leotards—whatever you want to call them—they’re here and they’re happening. These one-pieces are like your favourite pair of leggings but taken to the next level for one head-to-toe spandex outfit that I can only really describe as, well, wild.

The world of activewear—or as they said in the ye olden days, gym kit—hasn’t always been a particularly stylish one, and why should it be? More so than most other categories of clothing it exists to serve a practical purpose, and that is to get you from A to B, whether that’s a 10k amble in the countryside or a bass-pumping, 45 minute HIIT workout. However, I can’t deny that as someone who thinks and writes about fashion for a living (read: likes pretty things), I have found that the influx of style-savvy workout wear over the last few years has acted as added motivation to get my bum off the sofa and out the front door.

For many people, myself included, getting our daily exercise has been one of the few things keeping us going through lockdown. Whether it’s a walk to grab coffee, a quick yoga class after work, a gentle lunchtime stretch or a blow-away-the-cobwebs morning run, it’s amazing how important moving has become as we found ourselves increasingly confined to our homes. At risk of sounding like a fashion editor cliche, I do find that having nice gym-wear can be one way to ensure I actually make it out of the front door. Of course, form and functionality have to go hand-in-hand when it comes to activewear, but as more and more brands jump on the workout bandwagon, we find ourselves spoilt for choice. Case in point: Arket’s...

As usual M&S have pretty much thought of everything with this new collection. There’s practical styles with innovative technology for those of us looking for a bit of January fitness inspiration, mix-and-match layering options perfect for adapting to your chosen exercise, be it indoor Peloton or daily runs in the delightful British weather. But there’s also an excellent selection of day-to-day leisurewear pieces including on-trend fleeces, comfy co-ords and quilted jackets  that can be taken from your home desk to the coffee run without feeling like you need to hide your outfit under your puffa (don’t worry, we’ve been there too).  Of course, the legging selection is also extensive, from yoga styles to form fitting seamless numbers, which we’re about to be eternally grateful ...

Over the past week, much of the world’s shopping habits undoubtedly changed as we adjusted to life at home. It goes without saying that we’re shopping for fewer dresses and more comfortable athleisure items than ever right now. To prove this point, global fashion search engine Lyst just put together a report compiling the “stay at home” online shopping searches that have spiked as of late. Among the insights are tidbits like the interest in comfy sports clothing in the U.S., the fact that sneakers are the most in-demand shopping category, and the brands that are piquing the most interest. We were particularly intrigued that among the most-wanted items for women, the number two slot (after Oska Yasha linen trousers) was Spanx leggings. As someone who h...

There’s no doubt about it, joggers are one of the defining trends of 2020. Yep, sweatpant outfits are practically eclipsing other wardrobe basics among the fashion set. Equal parts comfortable and cool, it’s easier to see why they’re sticking around in our new day-to-day lives. Much like the suiting trends that have emerged this year—where bigger proportions and looser silhouettes have been winning out over body-skimming shapes—athleisure has been growing more relaxed and pyjama-like with jogger silhouettes replacing formfitting leggings. So what are the best ways to wear sweatpants outfits? Taking some notes from fashion insiders, there are plenty of chic ways to style them whether worn with structured blazers and sneakers or chunky knits an...

If all you want to do right now is roll yourself up lengthways in a duvet and just lie there in a cosy cocoon, rest assured the Who What Wear team feels the same. But getting dressed can also be important for your mood and general well-being when you’re spending significant amounts of time at home, but that’s not to say you have to put on anything fancy. Far from the grotty grey trackies and old sweatshirts from the loungewear days of yore, there are now plenty of chicer items to consider. As such, we’ve hunted down some of the sleekest and comfiest pieces that will make you feel stylish while keeping you snug. Keep scrolling to see the women inspiring us to join the movement.

Over the last century, there have been various manifestations of loungewear—from the elegant peignoirs of the early 20th century to the silken co-ords of the ‘70s to the ’90s penchant for underwear as outerwear. Fast forward to the modern-day, and we’ve seen an altogether more elevated approach to loungewear come to the fore. The moment I saw that cooler-than-thou womenswear brand Joseph were stocking tracksuit bottoms and souped-up sports hoodies, I knew something was shifting. I wouldn’t usually consider myself a lover of sporty styles, but there was something so undeniably chic about these camel-coloured (and ultra-comfy) pieces. My suspicions were confirmed when I turned to Instagram and saw t...
