AT THE BEGINNING of 2020, athleisure was (still) the prevailing fashion movement: Nikes with long cream-coloured coats; blazers or camel coats over tracksuits; oversized blazers over hoodies and baseball caps with trenches. We’re entering the third year of this pandemic⏤are you still in your sweats or are you ready to dress up again? We’re a little in the middle at the moment, wanting the comfort of French terry sweatshirts, but the sophistication (and the height!) of heels. While the full tracksuit as appropriate daywear outside of the house may have fallen away, elements of the sporty chic style still remain⏤baseball caps and trainers, but perhaps dressed up with argyle sweaters instead of sweatshirts. Blazers are an absolute staple, and instead of yoga tights or track pants, dress pants and trousers have taken their place. Athleisure may be here to stay, but this year, it’s a lot dressier but still comfortable, perfect for the slow and careful transition from being inside for two years to leaving the house again. Here, we’ve gathered a few of our favourite looks, as well as a few items currently on our shopping list…
