It's no secret that athleisure has become a huge trend in the fashion world. While we're obsessed with fitness gear, we love learning how to make pieces more versatile. Style expert Meredith Shaw showed us how we can use a few simple additions to take our everyday gym wear to chic street-style!

PRINTED SET WITH A CLASSIC BUTTON UP

One of our favourite gym outfits is a matching sports bra and leggings set. There are countless different patterns, prints and colours for sets and it's a fun way to boost your confidence before heading to your workout. Old Navy has a fantastic size range for workout sets with lots of statement prints that are great for transitioning from gym wear to streetwear. Layering a set with a classic white button-up shirt and a denim jacket will instantly take the look from "work-out" to "day out." You can swap your slides or sneakers for a comfy pair of loafers and pair the outfit with a simple clutch. These simple additions will take you from yoga to brunch!

COZY SWEATSUIT WITH A CROPPED JACKET

Matching sweatsuits have been all the rage lately, and we're obsessed with them. A classic grey sweatsuit is cozy a wardrobe staple that has tons of potential to work as a streetwear outfit. Just by adding a mock turtleneck under the hoodie and a neutral cropped jacket on top, you can rock your sweatsuit almost anywhere! It'll still give the athleisure vibe but with more elevation. To add a bit of tightening to the look, add a fanny pack that you can wear crossbody. If you need one more accessory, a white baseball cap pairs perfectly with a neutral sweatsuit and will complement the outfit.

TIMELESS BLACK WITH A POP OF NEON

A lot of us opt for black when it comes to athletic wear, and there's nothing wrong with that! While black is a timeless choice, incorporating a bit of sheerness will make the pieces more wearable. Neon is a trendy way to make your classic black pieces pop! A bright neon long sleeve on top of a workout tank, layered with a neon windbreaker is a fun way to get creative with your workout gear. Matching with a crossbody bag, you'll be ready for any errand or activity!
