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.

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.

I’m borrowing this story from @jewishvoiceforpea I’m borrowing this story from @jewishvoiceforpeace Lucia Pizarro who worked for the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions in Jerusalem. Israel does not give building permits to Palestinians in East Jerusalem or in Area C of the West Bank (as part of ethnic cleansing strategies) and therefore demolished their homes. She forged deep connections with Palestinian families only to see their lives destroyed by the state of Israel. Then went back to her fancy neighborhood in West Jerusalem.

On Passover she celebrated that the Hebrews came out of slavery into freedom, telling the story as if it was her who was delivered from Egypt....but couldn't do it. She was a 10-minute walk away from East Jerusalem, where her friends were terrified that their home would be the next one to be destroyed.

She lived in Jerusalem with all the rights and privileges that her Palestinian friends didn't have. The Israeli state has imprisoned an entire people, and she was supposed to celebrate her own freedom inside of that same state.

A friend invited her to a Seder but she told him She couldn't do it unless Palestine was mentioned. With time, She created the kind of Seder She could live and share with others, discovering there were many who shared her same needs.

This Ramadan, please think of supporting Palestinian farmers by purchasing locally-sourced dates (not ones made in the illegal settlements), as are not only denied basic human rights, but their economic, physical and psychological states are in peril.

@hcicanada partnered with a local organization to source hand-picked dates from Palestinian farmers, to support them. 100% of the proceeds go towards aid programs in Palestine. You can get it delivered or pick up locally for free.

Spring is here and it’s a happy time for many, a Spring is here and it’s a happy time for many, a chance to get outside and enjoy time with others that we have t seen in a while due to lockdown measures and cold weather, limiting our interactions. For others however, it doesn’t make it any better. My prayers go out to the victims, families and friends of the Atlanta shooting. A tragedy that should not happen. Many Americans and Canadians of Asian descent have been facing racism, and the shooting was the latest and most heinous crime committed recently against Asian Americans. Stop racism in its tracks, stand and speak up against it.
