Is activewear just for the gym? Hit the streets in any city and you’ll immediately get your answer: a resounding, no. Whenever we’re out we see girls shopping in yoga clothes, finishing their runs at a bakery or the farmers’ market, and mixing sweats into their day-to-day looks. Whether or not these fitness-meets-fashion forays land is another question altogether. There’s a certain art to elevating your activewear. We think it’s all in the mix.

We’re investing our time and money into activewear—why should we save it for the gym? If you’re not sure how to wear it, that’s where Vogue comes in, of course. Not only does mixing in an item of activewear add comfort to your ensemble, it also contributes to a cool air of nonchalance.
