WHAT TO WEAR: Athleisure on Campus

March 7th, 2017 at 2:00am

When it comes to your go-to campus look, the trend at URI is most definitely athleisure. The athleisure trend is perfect for going to class, yet also doubles as a comfortable, stylish gym outfit. In Rhode Island when the weather warms up, students enjoy taking their workout routine outdoors and head to the beautiful beaches nearby, and that is just what this Fashionista is dressed for. Athleisure has even become extremely popular among street style icons like super model sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid, but especially for everyday campus goers.

Within this past year, athletic brands like Adidas and Puma have been booming since teaming up with best dressed celebrities like Kanye, Kylie Jenner, and Rihanna. This helped give the brands an edgier, high fashion twist. Even fashion houses have created designs with the athleisure trend in mind by offering couture sneakers in their collections featured in Fashion Week. With that being said, it has influenced people to rock this comfortable yet fashionable trend anywhere and everywhere.

This Fashionista is rocking athleisure from head to toe. This oversize, beige hoodie is bound to be a comfy layering piece. The cutout in the front makes the look edgier and could even be attempted as a DIY! The sweatshirt is paired with simple black workout leggings and a white tank. A bold sneaker is always a way to make your workout look stand out. This Fashionista is wearing the Tubular Defiant Sneaker by Adidas, they are lightweight with a retro-futuristic structure. Accessories are important for any and all occasions; this Fashionsta is wearing a blacked out Michael Kors watch, a fun, fringe leather purse, and round mirrored Ray Bans. To top it off she is wearing a faux leather baseball hat. Not only is a baseball hat stylish and sporty, but it’s great for covering up if you’re not having the best hair day. This is the ultimate look for everyday that is trendy yet versatile.
