Athleisure isn’t just about casual wear anymore. It began as wearing gym clothes as street wear. Then it became more and more about luxury comfort: first as dressed-up loungewear and now as elevated athleisure. This trend takes on a more polished and sophisticated edge that can be worn anywhere.

Or, they can be layered with warm things to stay cozy in the cold seasons. They go great with feminine, lacy, frilly clothes; they dress down fancy outfits; and they can shine with sparkly and classy accessories like diamonds and pearls. This versatility makes denim jackets such a big topic that I’ve decided to break down my outfit ideas into five different blog posts over time.
