Even as we ease back into our post-holiday reality, there’s no need to let go of our loungewear and matching athleisure sets just yet. In fact, thanks to a set of luxe labels like The Row and fashion darlings like Hailey Bieber, we’re not only encouraged to keep wearing our beloved track pants and leggings, but to find chicer and cooler ways to style them, too.

When it comes to the latter, that’s where we come in. Elevated athleisure outfits begin with a strong foundation: choose one standout piece like Toteme’s retro-inspired sneakers or a tie-detailed track pant from Loewe as your home base. Then, surround the look with a solid roster of timeless yet trendy wardrobe essentials, like a notable knit or a warming winter coat. Should you need further evidence, this outfit formula has a strong runway reinforcement—on the Miu Miu fall 2023 runway, models made their way down the catwalk sporting sleek black leggings, oversized gray hoodies, and versatile gym bags. Back to the beloved hoodie: Skims’ version is as elegant as its runway counterparts–and high on our shopping lists for winter (and spring, too).
Accessory-wise, lean on classically cool baseball caps to wear with lightweight winter jackets and hero handbags or the aforementioned all-purpose gym bag. Options include The Row’s slouchy cult-favorite Banana sling and Alo Yoga’s more capacious take. One thing is for sure: athleisure is very much top of mind this season—and we’re here for it. Below, seven athleisure outfits that strike the perfect balance of style and sport. (No workout required!)
The Retro Sneaker With a Stylish Sweatpant
The new city sneaker on the block is retro-inspired and from the likes of Tod’s, Toteme, to even Polo Ralph Lauren. Styling-wise, we’re wearing ours with fabulous faux fur coats, casual yet still put together pairs of sweatpants, and oversized tote bags to store all of our activewear needs.
