26 Best Athleisure Brands to Get You Through 2021

In 2020, we were all understandably creatures of comfort. But as we reenter the world this year, we’re starting to think that maybe coffee-stained sweatpants are not the look. The solution? Athleisure. The clothing style confuses the viewer with its “will they, won’t they, go work out?” aesthetic, which appeals to our new mentality. It’s blazers with biker shorts. Sports bras and denim. Leggings and sneakers you can’t actually do burpees in. Athleisure’s hybrid nature blurs the line when moving through spaces in your home, office, and gym (and let’s be real, most of us haven’t stepped foot in a physical gym in well a year). And it’s not just us that feels the shift.
According to Technavio, the athleisure wear market has an expected growth of over $80 billion from 2020 to 2024. With a rise of people working from home and staying inside due to the global pandemic, these numbers will likely grow as more people start swapping their pantsuits and track suits, regardless of your physical activity. Torrid CEO Liz Muñoz has seen a rise of the athleisure desire even after people are vaccinated. “The trend continues today,” shes told ELLE. “As things are opening up, (our customers are) getting out of the house wanting to look put together without giving up that comfort factor.”
Thankfully there are numerous brands out there marrying athletic gear with leisurewear. Below we listed 26 of our favorite brands for any activity. We won’t judge.
The Exercise Dress
outdoorvoices.com
$100.00
Nothing represents the hazy line between workout gear and real-life clothes better than Outdoor Voices Exercise Dress. Get a dress who can do both.
Style pictured available XS to XL.
Beyond the Studio Jogger
lululemon.com
$118.00
Lululemon’s cult-favorite yoga leggings tend to get all the attention, but take your life off the mat with their athleisure offerings. We’re particularly drawn to these joggers, which edge on gorpcore territory.
Style pictured available 0 to 20.
Aces Tennis Skirt – Green Apple
aloyoga.com
$68.00
The tennis skirt trend is seeing exponential growth on TikTok, but this is one you could actually wear both on and off the court. It’s also a recent fave of Kendall Jenner, so act fast before this style sells out.

Floral Wicking Active Sports Bra
Muñoz saw a huge shift in Torrid shoppers in 2020-2021 and says, “with the onset of the pandemic last year our girl substituted her workwear for clothes that were comfortable with a casual vibe, like our matching athleisure sets in cool prints.” BTW, if you’re into those bright colors and patterns Muñoz mentioned, you’re going to want their entire Love Sick collection.

Hijab 2.0 Nike Pro
Nike is pretty much the go-to when it comes to brands that mix streetwear with athletic gear, but in recent years they’ve become so much more. In 2017 Nike released the sports-inspired Hijab and they’ve been expanding their inclusive styles ever since (including their recently launched Fly Ease sneaker, a shoe designed to get into hands-free). With plus-size clothing too, Nike makes athleisure for all.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving
Published
3 years agoon
26 November 2021By
Terry Power
On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.
J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.
Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.
Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.
“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.
“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”
This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.
The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.
And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.
But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
