Athluxury
Do you still have a legging hanging in your closet? That can't be, right?. Never been able to. And especially not those horrible white ones. What a horror. I think so, you know, I think so, but who am I? Do you feel a bit addressed? Oh, what a pity. But throw them away anyway and thank me later. And if you don't want to follow my advice, then follow Vogue's, because they agree with me.
What is allowed, however, is your sports pants. And I'm not talking about that lovely oversized jogging pants, but your nice tight pilates pants, or in my case: the ROCYCLE pants. Athleisure, that is, or sportswear that you don't only wear in the gym. Thanks to Gigi Hadid, that has become the new street uniform . Your sports legging with a bomber jacket, sneakers, and, if you dare, a crop top. But there is a new twist within the athleisure segment, because the new fashion word of 2017 is: athluxury.
Vogue describes athluxury as follows: preppy sportswear that you often encounter at your local golf or country club – think Ralph Lauren polos, rugby shirts, knitted sweaters, and pleated tennis skirts. What it's all about is that you still rock the ‘out-of-the-gym’ look, but in a more sophisticated version of it.
So to get into the athluxury vibe, here are my top three shopping picks for this sophisticated new trend.
