Wearing your Lululemon yoga slacks or your Nike ?Just do it? top to the shops has become so common? its almost difficult to find teenagers, young women and even middle-aged women out and about in regular clothes anymore. The trusty ?jeans and shirt? combo have been replaced by the new combination of gym tights, joggers, exercise top and puffer vest.
But the question is, why has wearing gym clothes beyond the gym become such a fashionable trend?
Social media has undoubtedly played the first, foremost and biggest role in setting the ball rolling on the ?activewear? trend train. Young girls following fitness enthusiasts and sports professionals seems to inspire the want, not only for a new activewear outfit, but also for being fitter and healthier themselves! Seeing a blogger on Facebook or Instagram with 1 million followers is SURE to inspire the desire for a stronger and healthier body!
High fashion and dressing to look glamorous every day may have been preferred in the prime years of fashion icon Kate Moss. But it has certainly become LESS desirable and more unaffordable?compared to the ease and comfort of gym gear as women are becoming busier!
