How to rock the “Athleisure” Trend

Makeover Monday :: Sports Fashion Highlight on Athleisure

This past Monday, October 10 I had a great opportunity to do a LIVE segment on FOX Baltimore about “Sports Fashion Trend – Athleisure” with Entertainment Reporter Candace Dold‎.  I was so stoked – this was my first time on television! The models looked amazing in the clothing showcasing great activewear brands such as NUXactive and MICHI.  Check out the latest workout looks below and how YOU can transition your workout looks to meeting your friends for lunch, nights out, and running those Sunday afternoon errands.

My recap below!

In 2016 The word “athleisure” was added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Athleisure refers to casual clothing — like yoga pants, sweat pants, and hoodies — that are designed to be worn both for exercising and for doing (almost) everything else.

Sports fashion trend isn’t fading away anytime soon – whether it’s finding motivation to hit the gym or seamlessly transitioning from the office to yoga class, this athletic-inspired trend is redefining the way we dress.

A few key accessories can transition from day to night!
