Athleisure, the well-known combination of loungewear and athletic garb, has been a popular everyday fashion choice for everyone from stay-at-home parents to actual athletes for the past couple of decades, for obvious reasons. Who wants to struggle through a day of errands or working from home in rigid denim or khaki when they could throw on a sweatsuit or some stretchy leggings with pockets and still be considered current and presentable? Unfortunately for many, John Smith predicts that this ultra-comfy trend is finally on its way out.
“In 2023,” he explains, “this look may become less popular due to the emergence of luxurious and high-end athletic looks. With the development of better fabrics and more tech-friendly designs, people may opt for higher-quality clothing over the practicality of athleisure looks. Going for something more luxurious and tailored may become more desirable than the comfort of athleisure.” Well, it was a good run, brunch yoga pants.
