Athleisure: Men's Edition ft. Kam Mickens-Bennet

3.04.2016

Some how and some where athletic clothing has become a necessary piece in every day fashion. Whether you have Economics at 5pm and a Basketball game at 6pm, these are a couple of pieces you may want to consider investing in:
Say it with me: "Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, just jumped over Jumpman".
This past year, Adidas has been kicking up their athletic wear game and making a lot of their pieces (some) unisex. During Christmas, I picked up an Adidas Rita Ora track Jacket and gifted it to my brother. In my defense it was "hella" dope.
Now, This post may be a tad bias towards Adidas because I love their brand and everything in it. However, a lot of my favorite men's pieces can be found elsewhere:
These looks can be found at Urban Outfitters . The first model wears an Adidas street montage logo tee that I love SO much because it seems really simple but the color-blocking is done so well. You can pair it with a windbreaker or if you want to play it up I would go with a dark denim jacket. 
The second look revolves around the basketball shorts. What Adidas has managed to succeed in doing is playing with colors, especially for the spring. Usually when I walk into the men's section of a store, everything is bland. I love the combination of black and white shorts with an accent color paired with a bright colored hoodie. This was by far my favorite look on the UO website.


Move aside baseball caps, visors are making a come back (now what am I going to do with all my caps?). 
These two key pieces can be found on Adidas (Visor and Moto Jogger). The visor is just an accessory that you can basically pair with any outfit and it can tie in the athleisure feel. 
If you are a college student you might want to invest in these Moto Joggers and throw your jeans to the side. These pants make it easy for you to run across campus, up the stairs, and still walk into class looking like a Major in Mr.Stealyourgirl. It may even give you the courage to ask the cute brunette who sits in front of you if she wants to study for Midterms together! 

All in all, comfort is in and try hards are out. Fashion and style shouldn't make you stand in front of your closet for 25 minutes to pick out something reasonable to wear. Athleisure gives you the option to grab it and get on with your day.

Stay tuned to see an Athleisure: Women's Edition
