Why Athleisure Is All The Fashion You Need These Days

December 4, 2020 · Fashion, Fitness, Gear




These days, most of what we’re wearing is athleisure. Leggings, jogging pants and comfortable shirts is our daily workwear while typing away on our keyboards from our home office. Not only that, you can use those same outfits to do your workouts, making them interchangeable. If you haven’t embraced it yet, you just may have to as even though the light is beaming at the end of the tunnel with the arrival of the vaccine, we’re a long ways ahead from resettling into pre-2020 habits.

Athleisure Growth

US Athleisure items to account for 31% of apparel sales this month. According to the research by Comprar Acciones, the global activewear market is expected to be worth $353.45 billion in 2020. Fashion sales may be down but brands like Lululemon witnessed growth thanks to an increase driven by its e-commerce boom.

Per GlobalData, a data analysis firm, uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacted sentiments in 2019 for Lululemon’s. Despite shuttered stores in 2020, it did not affect sentiments, as e-commerce sales and gym-at-home trends proved to be a boon.

Nike had a 75% increase in online sales. For Adidas, online sales surged by 93%. Puma saw its e-commerce sales rise by 40%. Old Navy’s activewear segment surged 55%. Athleta, which deals in female workout clothes had a 35% sales increase. 

Rise of Home Workouts

A gyms reopening study by Run Repeat to learn how many people have returned since their gym reopened and what they plan to do moving forward showed that:

  • Only 30.98% of gym members have returned to their gyms since the initial lockdowns.
  • 59.06% have cancelled or are considering cancelling their memberships (19.59% cancelled, 40.11% considering)
  • Consumer confidence in gyms globally has decreased significantly since March, with:
    • 22.35% fewer members have returned to their gyms than had expected to by now
    • 22.49% more have already cancelled or are considering cancelling their memberships than in March

With the increased demand of athleisure, and deceased confidence in gym workouts, it gives rise to home workouts. Eventually the interest of companies like Lululemon to invest in home workouts grows to meet demand. In June 2020, they acquired home fitness brand Mirror, a monthly subscription service. Like others, they expect to capitalize on the rise of at-home workouts while competing with players such as Nike and Peloton.

But Lululemon is not the only company offering athleisure. Here are other brands that offer an array of great items for you and anyone on your list.

Supplements

To help with your workouts, try the Fat Burning Lemonade. It’s a high performance fitness, weight loss dietary supplement. It accelerates your metabolic rate using fat for fuel. It will also get you into ketosis faster by accessing your stored carbohydrates, meaning that you burn up the carb stored in your body faster. Your endurance may improve as a result when consumed consistently. Drink on an empty stomach before meals and before a workout. Keep it simple and mix 1 scoop with 8 oz of water, tea, or sparkling water. Try the Fat Burning Lemonade and use code Rania.


The Gist of it

Athleisure has dominated 2020 style. While many of us didn’t imagine, it is now our new reality and may be with us for some time. Key players in the activewear space are adapting to change consumer trends by embracing direct-to-consumer sales online. If you are still looking for gifts for those on your list or even some items for yourself, the list above covers all the basics, including cleansing, workouts and supplements.

The Trucker convoy is still going strong and sprea The Trucker convoy is still going strong and spreading around the world. The trump cheerleaders found themselves another excuse to occupy institutional buildings and the cities that house them. While I too am fed up of the mandates, I don’t believe their plights are justified. Yes it’s frustrating the flip flop between closures and reopening, and while they are implemented at times to limit the spread as to alleviate the strain on the healthcare system, as annoying as they are, I don’t think it’s a reason to be shouting freedom on parliament hill, harassing residents or blatantly displaying racist symbols and rhetoric. For the most part, mandates are not stopping anyone from living, going out, even travelling! They’re a temporary inconvenience to our daily lives, but in due time, will be lifted as COVID becomes more manageable. This isn’t the worlds first go around at a pandemic. Each round takes time to return things back to normal…Just go back to 1918 to see what happened…were those public health measures still in effect 5 or 10 years later?? My heart goes out to businesses and employees whose livelihoods have suffered, especially as gov assistance winds down. But like all trends, major events force humanity to readapt (think automation). Vacancy rate has been at an all time high and unemployment back to pre-pandemic levels, proof that many employees and businesses have retooled and transformed. If those convoys feel strongly about protesting, they should protest for healthcare reform. Canada is ranking as the worst in the G7 for healthcare. Our system is riddled with administrators, not enough doctors or nurses. Caps are put in residency spots and foreign trained healthcare workers waste expertise on low-skilled work as they’re deemed “not good enough” to work in the Canadian healthcare system…now that’s something worth shouting freedom for!
