A/W '16, athleisure wear, fashion staple, fashion trends, gender neutral fashion, runway presentations

Athleisure wear has evolved from a fashion trend to a fashion staple;

influencing dress options for work, fun and smart casual.

Gender neutural, age neutral-

athleisure wear continues to dominate runway presentation and street style.

Create a signature, on-point look for autumn / winter fashion 2016;

incorporate key elements of athleisure attire:

track suit tops/bottoms, hoodies, sweatshirts, leggings,

trousers with contrast colour side stripes,

jersey sports top, immaculate white trainers,

pieces from sportswear  labels (Adidas, Puma, etc.).

Gentle layering forms a sleek silhouette while keeping the chill at bay-

keeping warm and looking good!

Be sublte with athleisure pieces or go bold for gold

for a winning style statement.
