Perhaps it was only a matter of time before the interest in health and wellness trickled into the world of fashion. After all, who can forget Khloe Kardashian’s insanely organized and impeccably designed fitness closet? (A whopping 150-square-foot room that houses her impressive sportswear collection and work out equipment) And it’s not just celebrities that are embracing this trend mind you. Nowadays, you can find luxury sportswear practically everywhere. Its presence is seen on the streets, in the work area and even on a fun night out with friends.

The Ultimate Laid Back Look: This windbreaker paired with harem styled track pants is the epitome of sports-luxe.

Maybe the pull towards function-meets-fashion sportswear is curtailed by individuals who press for more functionality in clothing. After all, who wants to lug around an extra outfit when heading to the office?

But for whatever reason, there’s no denying that there is a tremendous growing appeal towards “dressed up” workout wear. So big that it has dominated the fashion industry by storm, causing designers from Stella McCartney (for Adidas), Alexander Wang to fashion powerhouses in the likes of Chanel to create stylish sportswear for the modern day woman.

Over the years, sportswear has merited a stylish rehash. With Sports Luxe or “Athleisure” on a steady rise, it would only seem fitting to equip ourselves with stylish sportswear pieces that take us from gym-to-work-to-play-to-wherever.
