This transformative trend takes consumers effortlessly from gym, to socialising, or relaxing at home, without compromising on style. More than just a trend, the athleisure market is growing and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.

The pandemic shaped the way consumers think about clothes; with comfort continuing to take precedence in a post-covid world. With an increase in hybrid and remote based working, consumer demands continue to suggest that the athleisure movement is here to stay.
