13 Cool Athleisure Outfits You’ll Be Obsessed With This Year

Athleisure is no longer just a trend – it’s a lifestyle, a mood, a whole aesthetic with its own coffee order.

It’s for the girl who swears she’s going to yoga but somehow ends up at brunch instead. (Guilty – and I regret nothing.)

I’ve lived through the rise and fall of low-rise jeans, worn real shoulder pads unironically, and seen plenty of fashion phases come and go. But let me tell you – nothing feels quite as good as an outfit that lets you look put together *and* breathe freely.

This year’s athleisure is sleeker, softer and more elevated than ever. We’re talking tonal layers, flared leggings, sporty silhouettes and sneakers that feel like pillows for your feet.

Scroll on for 13 athleisure outfits that are so stylish, you’ll forget you’re basically wearing glorified loungewear.

13 Cool Athleisure Outfits You’ll Love

Burgundy Shorts + White Top + Burgundy Adidas Sambas

Effortless and coordinated – the kind of outfit that looks like you planned it, even if you didn’t. I once wore something like this to run a “quick errand” and ended up in an impromptu lunch with an ex.

The Sambas gave me the confidence. The shorts gave me comfort.

Monochrome White Athleisure Outfit with Brown Sneakers

This look is so clean and fresh, I swear it adds at least two hours of sleep to your face. The monochrome white feels polished, but the brown sneakers keep it grounded. Like the fashion equivalent of a green juice – cool, calming, and quietly impressive.

Grey Flared Leggings + Matching Top + New Balance 500s

The flared leggings give this that perfect early-2000s callback. 

Light Grey Sweater + Dark Grey Mini Skirt + White Sneakers

Love the contrast here – sporty meets structured. The mini skirt adds polish, while the sneakers keep things casual. I’d wear this to a casual Friday meeting or to pretend I play tennis at a country club.

Black Sporty Jumpsuit + Green Striped Button-Down Shirt

Obsessed with this layering. A jumpsuit under a crisp shirt? Instant cool.

All Black Everything Matching Sporty Set Outfit

All black is always a yes. This set is giving clean girl with a side of ‘don’t mess with me’. Perfect for travel days, hangover brunches, or those moments when you need to look composed but feel like staying in bed.

Dark Navy Leggings with Fitted T-Shirt + Caramel Trench-Coat

This one’s for the urban chic crowd. I wore this exact combo to the airport and someone thought I was flying business. The trench does all the talking while the leggings whisper, “Yes, I’ll take a croissant.”

Green Shorts + Light Grey Sweater + White Sneakers

Casual but clever. The green and grey pairing is low-key genius. 

Dark Grey Top + Black Flared Leggings + Grey Sneakers

This is your sleek city gym look – minus the gym. Dark tones always feel put-together. Add a big tote bag and no one will question whether you actually worked out or just grabbed a smoothie.

Navy Joggers + Navy Fitted Shirt + White Sneakers

Monochrome navy is wildly underrated. The white sneakers pop just enough to keep it fresh. I once wore this to run errands and ended up photographed for a local street style blog. True story.

Navy Track Shorts + White Crop Shirt + White Sneakers

This one’s sporty spice energy. Easy, breezy, and perfect for when it’s too hot to think. 

Cream Zip Sweaters + Black Leggings

This one’s practically a uniform. Cream and black is always a classic, and zip sweaters feel nostalgic in the best way. Bonus points if you wear it with gold hoops and slicked-back hair.

Black Track Pants + White Top + White Sneakers

This combo is giving “off-duty model on a coffee run.” Effortless but sharp. Throw on big sunglasses and you’re instantly that girl – the one who never looks rushed, even when she is.
