Love to slip into exercise gear even if it's for everything else except exercise? Then athleisure fashion is calling your name; and probably has been for a while. Originating in the 80s and 90s, the off-duty sportswear trend blew up in the late 2010s. What has only made it even more popular is the celebrity endorsement that it gets. Back in 2019 Kylie Jenner, the front runner of trendy style choices, stepped out in a Chanel sweatshirt with high waisted grey tights. Accented with tinted sunglasses and a Prada bag on her shoulder, it may have appeared completely ordinary except to fashion insiders. The balance of fits, the designer accessories and Kylie's sleek bob hairstyle elevated the sporty outfit enormously. From Kendall Jenner to Gigi Hadid, athleisure has been a top choice for celebrities on a day out too.

Closer home, Bollywood celebrities like Rakul Preet Singh, Malaika Arora, Sara Ali Khan and Alaya Furniturewala have taken to the trend readily. Like travel fashion captured when celebrities jet off at the airport, workout style is defined by stars who walk out of their pilates and weight training sessions, looking gleaming and gorgeous in chic workout gear. Usually with brightly coloured tights, logo emblazoned gear and spunky sports bras, you cannot help but turn your head towards their statement-making athleisure looks and of course, fabulous physiques.

But it's more than the celebrity quotient that makes athleisure so attractive. It's the body-hugging fit that tights offer as opposed to constricting jeans. It's the easy sporty vibe that doesn't play the tom boy hand too hard. It's also the comfort that comes with and the ability to dress it up with the right accessories. Basically, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be showcasing your sporty style at every chance you get.
