Let’s be honest, once we all lived in leggings during the lockdowns, there was no going back. When the world hit pause, comfort became a necessity. But then something magical happened: athleisure became the trend that won’t quit. And honestly?

 We’re still obsessed.

Now, your activewear isn’t just for workouts. It’s your school-run uniform, your coffee-date ‘fit, your airport go-to. The secret to pulling off styling athleisure? Mixing your favorite functional pieces with everyday staples to create outfits that feel effortless but still look put-together. Here’s how to style athleisure for wherever life takes you. 

The School Run: Fast, Functional, Flawless

When you’re juggling snacks, backpacks, and possibly a meltdown over mismatched socks, the last thing you need is a fussy outfit. Grabbing your seamless leggings and pairing them with a crisp white tee, a longline puffer or oversized denim jacket, and chunky trainers is a no-brainer look in no time.  

Top it off with a cap and sunnies, and boom - you’re giving “cool mum energy”…while still making that 9am bell.

Travel: Luxe Lounge Queen

Long travel day? Comfort is key, but you can still look polished. Slip into your workout leggings for stretch and support and layer a ribbed tank or sports bra underneath a lightweight trench, hoodie, or cardigan. 

It’s all about smart layering for those unpredictable plane temps. Add slip-on trainers for easy airport flow, an oversized tote for your travel must-haves, and a silk scrunchie to stay chic through turbulence. Then you're serving first-class vibes - even in economy.

Weekend Brunch: Monochrome & Matchy

When getting together with the girls, you want something comfy enough for a cinnamon bun, but cute enough for that accidental group selfie. Why not match seamless biker shorts with a coordinating crop top or sports bra then layer with an oversized blazer or linen button-down?

Opting for feminine hues (like our dusty rose, ivory, and olive bras) will soften the sporty vibe, or monochrome will look super on point. Add gold hoops and a mini crossbody, and you’re set. Effortless, elevated, and Instagrammable.

Office Day: Athleisure, But Make It Business

How to make women’s activewear office-appropriate? Confidence and clean lines. Start with high-waist, black seamless leggings - they’re sleek and sculpting. Add a fitted crop or sports bra and throw over a white shirt or tee. Anchor your look with structured pieces: a sharp blazer, ankle boots, and a no-nonsense tote.  

Stick to neutral tones, swipe on a bold lip or slick bun, and you’re suddenly the most effortlessly put-together person in the Monday morning meeting.

Client Meeting: Power Casual

When you don’t have to be ultra-formal for the office but still need to look sharp for a client meeting, your workout leggings will have your back. Pair them with a flowy blouse tucked in or a boxy blazer for that balance of structure and ease. This mix keeps things professional but relaxed. 

Swap your sneakers for sleek loafers or mules to add a polished touch without feeling stiff. Complete the look with a belt bag worn crossbody and a sleek pony.

Wherever you’re headed, your women’s activewear should flex with your lifestyle, not just the gym. Using 3D knitting technology, at Northern Cote, our seamless pieces give you that second-skin feel and endless styling options.
