Fitness is the new fashion: how to sport activewear as an everyday look
High fashion meets activewear
It’s becoming more visible on the runways and in the streets as it isn’t hard to see why. Activewear is effortless and comfy and when done right,it can look really chic. From pairing a jersey with high heels to matching a t-shirt dress with Nikes, styling activewear has limitless opportunities. Here are eight outfits for inspiration:
Out & About
There’s nothing better than matching a sporty outfit with cute booties. In this case, chunky black booties add a little polish to a baggy mesh top and tight capris leggings. This look is great to wear if you’re planning on heading downtown for the day. To dress it up for the night, take a fitted black leather jacket with you and layer it on top.

On a Walk
Chilling out on the weekend? Grab this black & grey ensemble, throw your hair in a ponytail and take your pup on a walk. You look fitness-chic without looking like you’re about to head to the gym. Tip: When matching greys, pay attention to shades as they can clash if the colours have clashing undertones.
