The Fashionista’s Guide to Athleisure

How important is comfort for you when you dress every morning? 

Before, you had to choose between fashion and function. Now, there’s athleisure.

This word is a portmanteau of the words athletic and leisure, and has officially been added to the dictionary to represent casual clothes designed for both exercising and general, everyday wear.

For those working from home, athleisure has become a way of life. We’ve forsaken formal officewear for what not only feels good and comfortable, but also looks trendy and fashionable. And that is how athleisure is also the new streetwear. Whether you’re walking the dog, doing a grocery run, or just getting things done on the daily – you can do it while enjoying the variety of life. Cable & Co. has always strived to offer a solution for every occasion and lifestyle.

Psychologist and personal trainer Susan Rudnicki puts it perfectly when she says: “Your clothes represent your inner motivation and feelings. It’s a feedback loop—I feel good, so I’m going to wear the things that make me look good."
