It’s become pretty standard to wear workout gear on the weekend—whether you’re headed to the gym or not. Leggings are wardrobe staples and can go beyond the gym when paired with a cool crop top and jacket. But while leggings will always have a place in our closets, right now we’re also thinking about newer ways to wear athleisure.

Our eyes are on the tracksuits and sweatpants that have been making a major comeback over the last few seasons. When a brand like Vetements teams up with Champion to create a collection of hoodies and jogger trousers, it’s a sure sign the trend will continue to be coveted by fashion girls. To take the look to the street, we suggest layering pieces that don’t belong in a workout class. Leave your gym bag behind and instead throw on a trench coat and crossbody bag. Interested in wearing the trend?
