Athleisure is Definitely Not Over

Health is wealth, as Instagram says.
Athleisure is one of the words I will remember the 2010s by. How sporty elements slowly sneaked up and into our wardrobes and everyday lives. Remember when you thought wearing sneakers to a wide dress or a flower skirt was just madness? Well we are quite far beyond that point now.
10 years ago sporty influences was 90% regular outfit and 10% sport by just adding maybe a sneaker or a tank top. Today sporty influences means the same numbers, only 90% sport and 10% regular outfit by adding chunky thong sandals (by The Row). And of course this has escalated or should I say exploded the last past months with the at home situation we got going on in the world.
I mean why wear jeans when you can wear tights or sweats? How can one motivate that?
Not only are sweats more comfortable sweatsuits are also very handy when you want to move from the office to the gym in a comfortable pace. From the kitchen table to the bedroom floor that is.
Of course there are no right or wrong in terms of athleisure since everything about it was looked at as wrong a few years ago. Going to a restaurant in sweats, are you out of your mind??? My boyfriend used to work as a doorman when he was in his early twenties and was told to never.ever. let a person in wearing anything similar to sweatpants. Imagine that now. No-one would get in anywhere??
