I don’t know what I did before the invention of athleisure. Especially for digital nomads, travelers, and work-from-homers, the trend in fashion allows those on the go to achieve a versatile style that can be dressed up or down. Athleisure blurs the line between traditional fashion categories, such as sportswear, streetwear, and loungewear, meaning you’re not sacrificing any style for comfort.

Whether you’re hopping on a plane and don’t want to come off looking too cozy, have a workout to hit, but have remote camera meetings to attend, or just want something comfortable, flexible, and stylish for traversing a new city on foot, finding the best street-ready workout gear makes all the difference. 

Lululemon Align Leggings

These cult-favorite leggings are made from a soft, buttery fabric that feels like a second skin. They’re so comfortable I often wear them to lounge and travel, but the fabric is also great for moving with me through yoga poses. Plus, the high-waisted design is ultra-flattering and looks amazing paired with either a crop top or sports bra.

Alo Yoga Sleek Back Bodysuit

I love the snatched look of a bodysuit, but the fit can be uncomfortable to wear all day. This bodysuit from Alo Yoga is incredibly soft and moves with your body for a truly versatile style thanks to its four-way stretch construction. It also has a built-in shelf bra for light, everyday support.

Vuori Ease Performance Half Zip

I love Vuori’s laid-back line of activewear. The Ease Performance Half Zip is a classic design that looks just as sleek as it is functional. It features four-way stretch, quick-drying construction, and is great for layering over a button-down.

You can’t go wrong with a sporty dress, which is fitting for taking from the trails to the streets.

I love the relaxed fit, built-in shelf bra, and overall stylish-meets-sporty vibe of this dress.
