One of the Key Elements of Athleisure Wear: Sustainable Fabric

Yoga pants, sports bras, comfy tank tops, leggings, and athletic jackets, all come under athleisure wear that one can wear during their workout and also wear them to other occasions. Athleisure effortlessly integrates the worlds of activewear and everyday attire, enabling individuals to move from fitness regimes to professional settings and cater to overall well-being. Thus, sustainable clothing becomes an integral part of athleisure.

Nowadays athleisure wear mainly uses fabric such as organic cotton or recycled polyester. These sustainable fabrics do not contain any form of synthetic pesticides and therefore offer convenience and durability. These clothing pieces can also be made of innovative fabrics such as ocean plastic. These clothing pieces generally have moisture-wicking materials, so there’s no discomfort from sweat or itchiness and attributed to convenience.

By choosing athleisure wear made of sustainable material a lot of plastic waste can be reduced which adds to the environmental awareness as well. In 2024 athleisure will add to the sustainable quotient and become a major part of the circular fashion economy. Brands that are implementing the sustainability factor are gaining more traction gradually.
