Athleisure: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Teen Vogue

As soon as the athleisure scene hit full force, fashion girls everywhere rejoiced. A welcome break from the often uncomfortable trends that hit the mainstream each season, a modern and updated twist on athletic wear has become a priority for designers and it girls across the map. Athletic wear is perhaps one of the most practical fashion obsessions in a while, so it is no surprise that it has lasted. It’s as relevant as ever, with no rush to slow down anytime soon.

Nike, Adidas and Lululemon are not the only brands to master the athleisure movement. Free People, Topshop and Tory Burch are just a few of the name brands throwing their hats into the ring and upping their athletic game. Cutting edge athletic wear is everywhere, with price points at various levels making it accessible and affordable for those intrigued—regardless of their budget.

Another benefit to the beloved trend is the versatility that stylish athletic wear provides. For those who consider themselves to have more of a minimalistic personal style, athleisure can easily be worked into an everyday outfit with joggers and sheer panel leggings or warm up jackets for a more retro feel. If your look has more of a classic, feminine flair, a pair of white Puma sneakers is the perfect solution to styling a shirtdress or denim skirt for the season. The elements for athleisure dressing are endless and can add that instant “cool” factor that will take an outfit to the next level.

It’s no surprise that a trend as chic as it is comfortable is stronger than ever after lasting more than a few cycles in the fashion industry. Some believe the intentional gym aesthetic is a little passé, but for those of you who can’t seem to get enough of the athleisure takeover, good news: it’s not going anywhere.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
