Discover the Athleisure trend: Ideas and tips for your outfit

Fashion has changed the way we think about comfort. Today, there is no need to choose between looking polished and feeling comfortable: the athleisure trend proves that both can work together in the same outfit. This style has become a favourite among women around the world by combining sportswear with everyday urban pieces to create modern, comfortable looks with plenty of personality.

In this guide, discover what athleisure is, where the trend comes from, how to style athleisure outfits and several women's athleisure looks you can easily recreate with Ysabel Mora pieces.

What is athleisure and where did the trend come from?

The word athleisure combines “athletic” and “leisure”. It describes a style that mixes sportswear with casual or more polished wardrobe pieces, creating versatile outfits that can move easily between an active lifestyle and everyday city dressing.

Although athleisure began gaining ground in the 2000s, it became considerably more popular over the following decade as fitness, working from home and the demand for comfortable fashion became more important. In 2026, women's athleisure continues to influence both street style and everyday wardrobes.

Its appeal lies in combining functionality with style. Black leggings and trainers can form the base of the outfit, while adding a long coat, structured jacket or refined bag can transform the same combination into an easy urban look.

How to style athleisure: outfit tips

Athleisure is not simply about dressing as though you are heading to the gym. The key is finding the right balance between sportswear and everyday fashion. These ideas can help:

• Leggings as a wardrobe base: combine black high-waisted leggings with an oversized T-shirt or sweatshirt, then add a cardigan or lightweight blazer for a more urban finish.

• Trainers with smarter pieces: your favourite trainers can work with casual dresses and midi skirts, adding comfort to a more polished outfit.

• Strategic layering: combine a base-layer top with a sweatshirt and bomber jacket to create an easy layered athleisure outfit.

• Minimal accessories: caps, compact backpacks, crossbody bags or sunglasses can complete the look without making it feel overloaded.

At Ysabel Mora, you can find women's sportswear that fits naturally into an athleisure wardrobe, including leggings, sports bras and sports tops, sweatshirts and base-layer tops that are easy to mix and match.
