ATHLEISURE FOR EVERY CONSUMER Athleisure has infiltrated the fashion industry and has re-imagined exercising, lounging, and traveling. Brands across the board have been taking their shot at selling athleisure. Luckily, there are some outstanding options for every type of customer.
AFFORDABLE ATHLEISURE Aerie offers oversized sweaters, incredible cozy leggings and graphic tees galore, along with so many other essential athleisure items. Best of all, Aerie is very reasonably priced and often offers great sales. This past summer I purchased a pair of leggings and a Henley pullover sweater. They are now some of my favorite athleisure items. I can dress the sweater with jeans or joggers and the leggings are hands down my most comfortable pair. Aerie offers great pieces with even better prices.
ECO - FRIENDLY Girlfriend Collective proves fashion can be eco-friendly. The brand believes in ethical manufacturing, recycled materials and never putting anything before what’s best for the planet. If that’s not empowering enough, it’s an all-inclusive brand supporting women of all races, ages, and sizes. The merchandise itself is minimalistic but comes in numerous colors. Test out the brand with its sustainable scrunchies. They were made from recycled water bottles and will amp up any basic pony.
SPLURGE-WOR TH Y Lululemon is a bit pricier with leggings priced as high as $158. However, splurging on a great pair may be well worth it. In fact, my roommate raves about the brand’s leggings and believes that everyone should have at least one pair. Lululemon offers a wide range of apparel with a style and color for everyone. Are you willing to take the pricey plunge to own a beloved pair of Lululemon leggings? I haven’t heard of any unsatisfied customers yet.
SIZE- INCLUSIVE Universal Standard is making beautiful clothing for women of all sizes. The brand values giving women the same shopping experience, regardless if they’re a size 00 or size 40. Either way, Universal Standard offers some stellar athleisure items including, biker shorts, stirrup leggings, and full-length bodysuits. Another feature it provides right now is its fit liberty program which allows consumers to purchase products in the size they are currently. If their size changes, Universal Standard will replace the product and send them a new size for free! Look your finest in your favorite leggings. There is an endless amount of options, so take your pick, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
