Elevated Athleisure: Style, Comfort & Confidence

Athleisure has come a long way from weekend errand outfits. For women, it’s all about refining this trend to strike the perfect balance between ease and elegance. Think luxe fabrics, flattering silhouettes, and thoughtful layering. Whether you’re working from home, running between meetings, or picking up the kids, elevated athleisure lets you move through your day looking effortlessly put together.

To master this style, start by upgrading your basics. Swap your old leggings for a pair with structure and detail—like pintuck seams or even split hems. Legging styles that end about mid calf are not the most flattering and also scream workout... not the vibe. Look for leggings that hit around the ankle, the 7/8 length. If you're someone with a long inseam (like me!) look for brands that feature different lengths! A key tip when elevating your athleisure is to add pieces from your casual wardrobe. Don't be afraid to mix performance fabrics with everyday fabrics. Think a cropped cashmere hoodie, a tailored bomber jacket, or an oversized blazer for instant polish. Mixing textures adds dimension and texture. Monochromatic looks in rich neutrals—think camel, olive, or slate—are especially flattering and create a clean, lengthening effect. Finish with minimalist sneakers or sleek slip-on mules to tie it all together.

As always, elevate your look with accessories: gold hoops, a tonal baseball cap, or oversized sunglasses go a long way in turning gymwear into streetwear. Elevated athleisure isn’t about sacrificing style for comfort—it’s about embracing both.
