What is Athleisure?
Listen, athleisure is everything we have been wanting to wear but didn’t think it was appropriate. Ha! It is the cross between athletic and casual wear wrapped into one. It allows us to wear leggings all day if that is what our heart desires. It is comfy yet functional.

Finding the Right Items for Curves
First, there are a couple of features I look for when shopping for athleisure items. The requirements for these items are a bit different. Athleisure needs to be able to be comfortable enough to wear on the weekends. Likewise, I need to be able to work out in these pieces. Therefore, I seek out items that are functional, versatile, and that match my aesthetic.
Athleisure Tip #1: It’s gotta be functional!
Functionality is critical when it comes to athleisure! Why? Because the whole point of these pieces is to be able to workout in them if needed. Therefore, your items need to fit you appropriately. They need to allow you to move. Additionally, your athleisure items should just feel fantastic. The comfy factor needs to be in play.
Athleisure Tip #2: Versatility, versatility, versatility
Additionally, versatility is a must! More specifically, your athleisure items need to be able to transition from weekend to working out seamlessly. They need to do double duty without a problem. Here is what is so great about this feature: this means you need less clothes! You are welcome, minimalists!

“Think about the word athleisure. It is a combination of the words athletic and leisure, so it’s quite obvious that this style is meant both for the gym and everyday wear.“

Athleisure Tip #3: It must match your vibe!
Also, find items that match your aesthetic. In other words, get pieces that all work with what you already own and love. Why? As we have said before, if an item can be incorporated into your wardrobe you will be more likely to wear it. Therefore, it won’t be something that just sits in your closet. I got one easy way to figure out your athleisure vibe. First, consider the gym items you own and wear often. Then, figure out which ones you wear most and why. Next, get items similar to those pieces. Similarly, you can look at which items you need to complete an outfit. Done!
To wrap up, athleisure is a fun style to add to your wardrobe! Want more curvy style tips? Check out my post here and here.
