Athleisure has been for as long as sports have, despite the fact that fashion trends come and go. Personally, we’re eager to put Y2K behind us forever. Although the style is primarily casual and comfy, high fashion has recently absorbed and altered it in a variety of ways. We followed the trend from 2016—the year the Fenty x Puma collaboration was released—to the present.
See below for the evolution of athleisure from 2016 to today.
