EVENTS THAT SET THE TONE FOR TRENDS
Ever since activewear transitioned from fashion faux-pas to downright trendy, athleisure fashion is giving us a run for our money (pun intended). You’ve seen it everywhere and worn by everyone.
The global athleisure market size was accounted for USD 300 billion, in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period of 2019 to 2025. Increasing awareness towards personal grooming and physical fitness amongst millennials is projected to propel market growth. Further, cultural shift in wearing apparel at the workplace globally is expected to increase the usage of athleisure in the forecast period.
Many brands are now offering activewear lines and workout clothes to fit multi-faceted luxury lifestyles. With an ever-growing athleisure market, it can be hard to know which fashion sportswear brands are worthy of purchase. For Barrys this means a walking advertising billboard that is cool and worthy of attention.
Not just cute workout clothes a tool for marketing, and brand impressions. Or simply as a transition outfit before you finally decide what to wear. Granted, some brands are so cool you’d rather wear them to hang out than to work out, but they definitely make legit functional activewear.
