While no one’s asking you to give up your bulky sweatpants and crocs per se, our concept of comfort clothing for 2021 is evolving. Think less Athleisure and more Athflow. What does that mean exactly?
Slides are getting swapped out for slip-ons and loafers. Flowy wide-leg pants and casual house dress trends are taking loungewear to the next level. It’s leisurewear with an emphasis on a more polished look. Soft, oversized silhouettes in chic, stylish fabrics and coordinated combinations all cascade together to form this evolving trend.
