Women's athleisure trends
Women’s athleisure trends for 2025 focus on looser fits such as wide-leg leggings and oversized hoodies. However, the main theme is keeping a minimal look with neutral colours such as blacks, beiges, greens and blues.
Leggings
One of the biggest women’s athleisure trends includes some comfortable leggings. While wide-leg leggings have been making strides in 2025, even a good old pair of fitted leggings such as these Women's Tech Leggings are as popular as ever. Now considered to be an absolute essential, the best athleisure leggings should be made with soft, stretchy and breathable materials - ideal for both lounging and getting active.
Legging can also be used as a multi-purpose base layer and layering is a big part of the athleisure look as it can help make your outfit seem more casual while keeping you ready for any impromptu exercises.
