Activewear is no longer confined to the gym - it's become a wardrobe staple for many, transitioning from workout sessions to daily activities with ease. One of the best things about wearing athleisure is how easily it transitions from workout wear to casual outfits.
Here’s how you can wear O'Neills activewear outside the gym and look chic, functional, and fashionable:
Blend Activewear with Everyday Pieces
For a touch of sophistication in your everyday look, the Men’s Venture Pima Cotton Polo range works seamlessly with a tailored coat or trench. Similarly, the Men's Harlow Half Zip Micro Fleece teamed with a pair of elevated jeans strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic, ensuring you're comfortable without sacrificing style.
One of the best ways to take activewear beyond the gym is by mixing it with casual or more structured wardrobe pieces. For example, pair Women's Riley Full Length Leggings with an oversized sweater or a smart blazer. The leggings offer a streamlined, form-fitting look that balances the volume of a relaxed top, making this combination perfect for a coffee date or a day out.
Go Tone-On-Tone for a Refined Look
“Co-ord outfits” are incredibly trendy and give off a sleek, put-together vibe. They offer a refined, minimalistic look that can effortlessly transition from lounging to casual outings.
Our latest Women’s Legacy Loungewear is the cosiest co-ord you’ll have in your wardrobe that you will keep reaching for. Crafted from thick, loopback cotton, it’s designed to keep you warm and snug during chilly nights or relaxed lounging.
The premium fabric ensures a comfortable feel, ideal to pair with some fur slides and coffee for a cosy night in. Available in four stunning colours: Sugar Coral, Blue Bell, Crème de Menthe, and Bottle Green, the range is a stylish and versatile staple. Whether you’re travelling, running errands or staying in, the monochrome aesthetic is a timeless look to opt for.
Layering is Key
Layering is an essential styling trick when wearing activewear outside the gym and O'Neills has all the essential pieces to help you perfect this look.
The Men's Evolve Fleece Pullover Hoodie can be layered over the Men's Pro Body III Poly Elastane Baselayer Top for extra warmth and comfort. Throw it on with a pair of sweatpants for those colder days, instantly transforming your gym look into a cozy, stylish ensemble.
For drizzly afternoons, women can opt for layering the O'Neills Women's Recharge Boxy T-Shirt under the O'Neills Women's Ivy Lightweight Rain Jacket for a sporty yet polished look. This versatile pairing balances breathability with style, making it ideal for casual outdoor activities.
Mastering layering ensures versatility in your wardrobe, giving you options that balance breathability with style - ideal for casual outdoor activities.
Choose the Right Footwear
While gym shoes are practical, you don’t have to limit yourself to them when wearing athleisure outside the gym. Swap your workout trainers for casual sneakers or stylish boots. For example, pairing the Men's Horizon Woven Sweatpants with high-top sneakers or even slip-on loafers gives the outfit a more laid-back yet fashionable feel.
For a sporty and elegant style, both trainers and sneakers work well, but ensure they complement your outfit. Dress up your kids in sneakers with the Kids' Havana Shorts or Kids' Impact Full Length Leggings and a stylish tee for a fun, comfortable look.
Add Functional Accessories
Accessories have the ability to instantly elevate your activewear game. With O'Neills activewear, adding simple yet functional items like the Rival Baseball Cap or a sleek crossbody bag can effortlessly transform your sporty look into casual chic. Stylish touches like sunglasses, caps, or minimalist jewelry (think hoop earrings or layered necklaces) can complete an activewear ensemble without making it look overdone.
For a functional yet stylish addition, try the Blitz Boot Bag, personalised with your initials, to maintain a sporty look while conveniently carrying your essentials.
