Work It from Home: the new Athleisure and Active Wear Fashion

Working from home is the new way of life right now, and athleisure and active wear as fashion has never been more appropriate. After all, who needs a suit and tie if they are social distancing? You still need to exercise and get fresh air, so smart sportswear brands are creating great-looking, high-performing garments that blend the border between active wear and streetwear. Is there even a difference any more, one might ask? In this latest Editor’s Pick, I take a look at some of the best in sportswear brands.

Made from a flexible four-way knitted ribbed fabric that supports your body as you move, you will enjoy the freedom of movement as the seamless styles aim to keep you comfy and cool while doing your favourite activities in life. Take a deep breath and grant yourself some cozy moments in the creamiest collection ever.
