Celebrity Life

Ever since activewear became the new crossbreed of fashion and function in the name of athleisure, luxury is the most relaxed it's ever been. Some would even argue it’s the best thing to happen to fashion, making dressing easier and definitely more comfortable. Born from a trend and now a full-blown lifestyle, athleisure makes it possible to go from barre to bar with versatile pieces and just a few minor outfit adjustments.

We've scoped out the best pieces from the latest collections to get you from a business meeting to the city’s best gym studios and then to happy hour. Whether for work, play or just life in general, here’s a list of the best athleisure pieces that can get you through it all.
