Athleisure £ Subtle

Leggings, Sneakers & Jacket Look

The easy athleisure formula: leggings, sneakers, a normal top from your closet, and a jacket over the top.

The Pieces

  • 1 pair leggings
  • 1 top you'd already wear with jeans
  • 1 light jacket or bomber
  • 1 pair sneakers
  • 1 crossbody bag

The Styling

  1. Start with the leggings as your base — the formula only works if the rest of the outfit doesn't look gym-only.
  2. Add a top you'd normally wear with jeans, not a workout top, to shift the whole look toward 'off-duty' rather than 'mid-workout'.
  3. Layer a light jacket or bomber over the top for structure.
  4. Finish with sneakers and a small crossbody bag, keeping the palette to one or two tones.
The alteration: Swap the sneakers for ankle boots to take the exact same top-and-leggings formula from day into evening.
