As we ease back into our post-holiday reality, we don't have to let go of our loungewear sets and athleisure just yet. In fact, thanks to a set of designers like Loewe and fashion darlings like Hailey Bieber, we’re not only encouraged to keep wearing our beloved track jackets and leggings but to find chicer and cooler ways to style them, too.

When it comes to the latter, that's where we come in. Elevated athleisure outfits begin with a strong foundation: Choose one standout piece like Saint Laurent's letterman jacket or a Gucci x Adidas cable-knit crewneck as your homebase. Then, surround the look with a solid roster of wardrobe essentials like a plain white tee or a delightful denim pick. This outfit formula has a dedicated runway reinforcement—and as we gear up for Fall 2023 shows, we’d be stunned not to see several athleisure outfits depicted both on the catwalk and on the street.

Most notably, Loewe has turned its attention to athleisure through trendy track pants, timeless tanks, and stylish sneakers. Way more elevated than most, style their Anagram tracksuit underneath LouLou Studio's wool winter coat for polished perfection. On more casual, cozier days, Sporty & Rich's camel sweatsuit is easy yet elegant. Look to simple jewels from Missoma for finishing touches. Like Loewe, Gucci is also synonymous with the sporty style by way of collaborations with Adidas, The North Face, and more. Its cable-knit crewneck is a twisted take on the classic collegiate style. Continue to elevate with Agolde's leather pants and a pair of Gucci lug sole loafers.

Athleisure has yet to stop dominating the fashion folk—and we’re here for it. Below, here are eight athleisure outfits that strike the perfect balance of style and sport.

Way more elevated than most, make Loewe's Anagram track pants the centerpiece of all of your athleisure outfits. For polished perfection, layer LouLou Studio's cashmere-blend coat atop. Accessory-wise, Adidas Originals Forum 84 sneakers include the heritage brand's signature three stripes in a vibrant orange. To match, carry Loewe's Puzzle shoulder bag.

When it comes to the athleisure arena, no one does it better (or has done it longer) than Adidas. On par with the trends is the brand's velour track pants with yellow detailing. Offset the vibrancy by pairing Les Tien's minimalist hoodie over top. And for extra elevation, make The Frankie Shop's camel trench the final touch. To dress the look up entirely, The Row's Bare sandals in yellow will take the charge.

On more casual, cozier days, Sporty & Rich's cashmere camel sweatsuit is easy yet elegant all the same. In a special collaboration with sneaker brand, On Cloud, find these canvas sneakers by Loewe. Look to simple jewels from Missoma for finishing touches.

Saint Laurent's Teddy varsity jacket takes on the classic letterman with total style. Underneath, keep it casual with a simple white tee and baggy jeans. For added elevation, finish the look off with Khaite's studded Lorimer pumps and an equally extravagant moon bag from Alaia.

With notable collaborations with Adidas, Gucci is certifying its name in athleisure attire. Take this bright yellow cable-knit crewneck, for example. It's a twisted take on the classic collegiate style—but made even better. Keep it sleek and style it with Agolde's leather-blend pants and lug sole loafers also from Gucci. The Row's Sporty backpack is the ultimate gym bag.

A fleece jacket, like this one from Tory Sport, is similar in style to a traditional track jacket but is designed to keep you nice and snug on brisk winter days. Continue the relaxed style and pair with Reformation's dark green cargo pants. For the perfect white sneaker, this pair from The Row has caught our eye. Also eye-catching are accessories courtesy of Bottega Veneta.

Like their classic white tank, we can guess that this cherry red cropped tank from Loewe will have an equally limited shelf life–so get yours while you can. The pop of color is a welcome change, especially when paired with Altuzarra's denim midi skirt and Courréges's vinyl jacket. Lug-sole Chelsea boots from Ganni will toughen up the look.

A bold puffer is a must in any winter wardrobe and The North Face's 1996 Neptuse jacket has the model and street style seal of approval. Keep it cool and casual underneath with a pair of flare leggings from Splits59. Meanwhile, Adidas's Gazelle sneakers in baby blue tie the entire look together.
