Comfort and Style Unite in Our Women's Athleisure Clothing

When you want to look put together for the gym or create a sporty vibe for a casual outfit, athleisure is the perfect solution. Athleisure brings together the comfort of casual leisure clothing with the functionality and sporty style of athletic attire.

Ever-expanding from its role as a gym staple, boutique athletic wear has become the go-to casual uniform, perfect for on-the-go style and exceptional comfort. When it comes to versatility, few other clothing styles can match women's athleisure clothing, and it's never been more important to love your workout clothes when trying to meet your personal health and wellness goals.

Beyond yoga, biking, hiking and lifting, breathable and durable fabrics are perfect for the active dates or al fresco dining experiences that pepper our summer days. Casual athletic wear should be versatile enough for outdoor hangs or serious sweat sessions. Here's an athleisure clothing checklist for you to make your best choice and live your best life:

  • Function: Are you a powerlifter? Yogi? Outdoor lover? Runner? Knowing what you'll use your gear for is always useful when choosing an outfit that features gym clothes.
  • Fit: Form-fitting athleisure wear is perfect for almost any activity, but the wrong size or a loose seam can offset the comfort factor and make for some unfortunate, annoying bunching while you're trying to be active.
  • Fabric: While athletic wear tends toward sweat-wicking and breathable fabrics, be sure that your particular skin chemistry meshes well with what you're wearing to make sure you stay comfortable and dry.

FAQs

Women’s athleisure wear is different from activewear because it’s a lot more versatile. Athleisure wear is designed to work just as well for a casual office environment as it does for the gym. Activewear, on the other hand, is primarily designed for exercising, running, and other sports, using materials that wick away moisture and improve performance.

If you’re spending the day running around between multiple activities, athleisure wear ensures you look put-together with elegant silhouettes while providing the same benefits as workout clothing.

No! Women’s athleisure wear offers a lot more flexibility than traditional workout clothes! At The Willow Tree Boutique, our athleisure collection includes loose skirts, oversized sweater tops, and even workout dresses that ensure you feel comfortable showing just the right amount of skin.

If you’re worried about looking too casual in your women’s athleisure wear, there’s a lot you can do to balance your look. Check out these top tips to upgrade your athleisure clothing:

  • Play with silhouettes: Wearing loose clothing for your entire outfit may end up looking like pajamas. You can mix and match fitted and loose cuts to ensure you’re comfortable without being too casual.
  • Add a unique texture: A lot of women’s athletic wear has that shiny polyester texture. Add in a little bit of interest with casual athletic wear that features lightweight cotton knits and sheer fabric over cutouts.
  • Mix styles: Sporty plus sophisticated can create a unique look that balances the casual vibe without veering into pajama land. Try an athletic outfit with a blazer over the top or leggings with a button-up shirt!
  • Ditch the sneakers: Tennis shoes will make your outfit look a little too sporty. Spice up your women’s athleisure wear with booties, sandals, wedges, or mules to change the entire feel of your look.

Use accessories: We’ve said it before, accessories can elevate and enhance any aesthetic. Add some jewelry to your boutique athletic wear for a touch of elegance or wear an oversized structured handbag to make it clear you’re not going to the gym.

There are typically two fabrics designers use for women’s athleisure wear, polyester and nylon. Sometimes, these are blended with each other or other lightweight fabrics, like cotton, to get the best drape on your body without losing the benefits of workout textiles.

Polyester is affordable, durable, and stretchy, which makes it a great choice for intense activities and everyday wear. Nylon is quick-drying, stretchy, and mildew-resistant, as well as super breathable. With nylon, your clothing still allows cool air to reach your skin and wicks moisture away from you where it can evaporate more quickly.
