Wikipedia says: Athleisure is a trend in fashion in which clothing designed for athletic workouts at a gymnasium, sometimes termed activewear, is worn outside of the gym to go to the office or shopping or other social occasions. I’m a huge fan. I think there are a few things to get me to this point. My husband and his cool casual attire and love for tennis shoes. My quest for comfort in any and every form.
