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 canceled or are considering canceling 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.

On March 16th, it’ll be a year I haven’t set f On March 16th, it’ll be a year I haven’t set foot 🦶 in a gym. The videos you see when you swipe left are some of the last large workout groups I’ve attended with @stadiumworkout before it ceased due to the pandemic last year. I owe it to such groups to have embraced outside workouts during the cold weather, giving me ideas on how I can incorporate cardio and strength with little equipment. Hopefully one ☝🏼 day the group restarts and we can all reunite. For now I dedicate my winter 🥶 workouts to the organizers ☺️.

While Black History Month is synonymous with promi While Black History Month is synonymous with prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, George Washington Carver and Barack Obama, there are countless other African Americans who've made a profound impact in history: self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker, astronaut Mae C. Jemison, open-heart surgeon Daniel Hale Williams, inventor Garret Morgan, media mogul Oprah Winfrey and "Father of Black History" Carter G. Woodson, who lobbied extensively to establish Black History Month as a nationwide celebration, among many others. 

Black history is not just a month to be celebrated but something that we should always commemorate. Everything it encompasses cannot be covered in a tiny Instagram post. It’s so rich, so full and yet so much more we need to learn about it passed the mainstream and popular figures. Take some time and uncover a part of the black past, present and future regularly to appreciate its magnitude and how it shaped the world we live in today.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️. For those who love Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️. For those who love and want to help the Palestinian cause, let’s send Facebook the message by signing the petition at facebookweneedtotalk.org/petition.

The Israeli government is asking Facebook to equate “Zionist” with “Jew” in its hate speech policy, which would make “Zionist” a de facto protected category. This dangerous policy would shield the Israeli government from accountability and harm efforts to dismantle antisemitism.

Facebook, we need to talk. Here are 6 things we need you to know about Zionists. Swipe left to read about it and share.

I was inspired to show off this photo after seeing I was inspired to show off this photo after seeing @sweetzuzudesigns wallpaper DIY. If anyone knows me, they know how much I love Carrara marble (in fact the table in the middle is also Carrara marble that we made, my feed has the video of the project). This wall stops everyone in their tracks as they think it’s real marble but it’s actually high quality wallpaper worth every penny and more from @photowall_sweden. If you’re looking for wallpaper, I strongly recommend them. I’ve purchased previous ones before but none of rest quality like this one. I recommend upgrading and getting the one that’s easy to clean. I plan on doing the other side of the wall to make it look like a full block of marble. You can swipe right to see what the in progress looked like and previous wall and set up design. Over the years my style has embraced simplicity, natural materials and light tones wit a touch of black.
