Updating your off-duty look is as simple as slipping into a few cozy activewear items. The key to looking pulled together rather than ready to do pull-ups? Mix athletic gear with more structured elements. The contrast creates a sporty luxe look perfect for your casual weekend plans.
Along with your staple sneaks, a few fresh additions to your closet will help your outfits flex from winter into spring. These are pieces meant to be rotated through your wardrobe, giving each new look an easy modern appeal.
Track pants
So comfortable and so cool, track pants dominate streetwear this season. Instead of putting on an entire track suit, however, match the pants with a suit coat. It’s the ultimate power combo, exhibiting the wearer’s laid-back attitude with professional polish. Don’t be afraid to pair the racy pants with a pump or a sleek shoe, but sneakers work too.

Hoodies
Hoodies were the gateway garb to our current athleisure obsession. When designers like Demna Gvasalia started constructing (or deconstructing) this sweatshirt style with their signature flourishes, the fashion fold was quick to find ways to make it an acceptable top for any outfit. Feel free to pair it with both skirts and trousers.

Sports bras
A sporty first layer can set the stage for your sleek style. New sports bra silhouettes integrate such fashion savvy, you may want to reveal them under a (also trending) sheer shirt. Mesh inserts, structural cups and logo bands make slipping on—and showing off—these underthings a move we can support.

Windbreakers
Rarely is such a practical purchase also such a statement piece. This spring, windbreakers will be on the shoulders of the world’s women, no matter the weather. These light layers give your outfit a breezy attitude. Our tip is to pick a style with a loose cut and an accent color.
