Regardless of why you’re wearing athleisure wear, here are 5 must-have types of athleisure clothing that you need in your closet.

Yoga Pants-High Waisted Leggings

This is my personal favorite! Who doesn’t love yoga pants? They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but I say its yoga pants. The great thing about yoga pants is that there are so many styles. There are high-waisted, cropped, different colors, fun patterns, and even small details such as mesh lining at the bottom leg or creative cut. Yoga pants can be paired with a nice crop top to make for the perfect athleisure outfit.

Biker Shorts

This is a trend most people weren’t sure about and even if you’re still unsure, give it time. You’ll eventually add this piece of athleisure wear to your closet and you’ll be asking why you didn’t do it sooner. We’ve seen biker shorts paired with fitted tops and paired with jackets to complete the look. Perfect for any day and any occasion. They’re form-fitting, functional, and if you get the right ones you don’t have to worry about them riding up. Pair with your favorite sneakers and it’s a look you’ll want to add every week.

Fitted Shirts

This is your absolute must-have piece of clothing if you’re going for the athleisure look. There are regular fitted shirts or fitted tank tops. What makes a great fitted shirt is that it’s sleek, form-fitting, and lightweight. Perfect for the gym or to be worn on a hot day where you’re looking for comfort and style. Additionally, who doesn’t love these shirts in the gym? So, who’s to say you can’t wear it to the mall?

Athletic Jacket

This is the perfect addition to your wardrobe when you’re looking to add some hints of athleisure wear. Jackets can be paired with any outfit, but when you find yourself an athleisure jacket you can wear it on any day, hot or cold because they’re all so typically light-weight and breathable. Try wearing an athletic jacket with your favorite outfit and I can promise you it’s the addition to your look you’ve been missing.

Joggers

The name “joggers” can definitely mislead consumers, but don’t be discouraged. Regardless if you’re an avid runner or if you’ve never raun a day in your life, joggers are for you. They provide comfort and style. Most fashionista’s claim that they’re flattering as well as they fit at your waistband, extra fabric in the legs, and fitted at the ankles. A lot of celebs have been spotted wearing joggers with a simple crop top or fitted tank top to complete the look.
