Inspiration || The Athleisure Trend.

I haven’t done a style inspiration post in a while now and I’m about to rectify that.
In case you’re new around here – the style inspiration corner is where I share looks on fashion trends to serve as an inspiration on how to wear/ rock a particular trend.
My very first post in this segment was on the mixed prints trend here and it was a hit. Since then, I’ve blogged on Ponchos/capes, the socks/shoe trend, bandana neck scarf and styling the kimono trend (just to mention a few)

This time around, the trend that I’m loving right now is the athleisure trend. Which is basically wearing “athletic wears” outside the gym/court and as “fashion”. I’m talking anything from joggers, track suits, leggings, sweats to yoga clothes to even tennis wear and of course sneakers!
Athleisure isn’t an excuse to look sloppy though. It is about spicing up the traditional sport wear and making it look stylish.

This trend appeals to the inner tom boy and androgyny lover in me, but it can easily be a miss so I thought to share a few style inspiration.

My first and actual love affair with this trend started before I knew it was going to become a big trend, and like my growing love for face caps, it started with my friend Tracy showing up in a slightly oversized joggers on our trip to the salon.
I vowed to get myself one too because she looked all shades of effortless cool and laid back! Which is really all I’m about and here for.

I’m not particularly a fan of wearing tights/leggings out, but kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid seem to have this one on lock down and they make it look so good! Still, I think I’ll be sticking to the joggers end of the athleisure spectrum. Thank you!

I’m a bit skeptical about if it will pick on here because Nigerians are generally stylish people and you would hardly find people walking around in their gym clothes – except its on the lekki ikoyi bridge.
