We all love a good athleisure set because it's cute as well as comfortable. It’s even better styled to suit post-workout activities, like running errands or an outing with your loved ones. Thought yoga pants were only for the gym? Be willing to experiment because you’ll be surprised by how a few additions can turn your activewear into a whole *look*. Here are my five tips on how to look luxe in your athleisure wear.
Want your activewear to be your luxe uniform? Fashion influencer, Mmaketi Langa, explains how it’s done.
Tip #1: Dress Your Shoulders
Add a hoodie or crew-neck sweater over the shoulder to deliver Real Housewives vibes. This is great for a winter day that isn’t too cold and, if it gets breezy, you can always put the sweater on to stay warm. Genius!
Tip #2: Style With a Jacket
Opt for a classic coat as opposed to a puffer and take your gym look to new stylish levels. Winter essentials that are always in style (and keep us toasty) can forever be relied on to tie a look together. Be bold by wearing a coat with colour or texture.
Tip #3: Keep it Simple
You can’t go wrong with a plain white shirt. Bonus points if it’s an oversized shirt worn with the buttons undone. You still want your activewear to be visible - a crop top peeping through a crisp white shirt is the best way to combine a classic wardrobe staple and your casual wear. Pair with white sneakers and opt for a beige-toned pants and sports bra set for ultimate style appeal.

Tip #4: Add Accessories to Transform Your ‘Fit
To complete your look, add a cute bag. Accessories can change a look and draw attention. I recommend ditching your tote bag for a shoulder or crossbody bag in a textured vegan leather finish. Layer neutral tones of white, ecru and beige for a sophisticated finish.
Tip #5: Find Jewellery To Express Your Style
Gold jewellery is a classic that never goes out of style. Invest in the real deal or look for gold-plated alternatives. And don’t be scared – go bold with a chunky chain necklace. Alternatively, a simple pendant necklace paired with some big hoop earrings can transform your activewear to a day out at the mall.
