November 1 marks the unofficial commencement of the holiday shopping season – and a peak sales for designer retailer promotions. Here are three trends from this season's runways on sale now.
Elevated Athleisure
Activewear currently makes up 24 percent of apparel sales – with no signs of its growth slowing down, according to The Future of Apparel study recently conducted by NPD Group. Correspondingly, the athleisure and streetwear trends have transformed the luxury fashion industry in recent years. Designer-sportswear collaborations become increasingly common within the industry, such as Adidas partnerships with the likes of Alexander Wang and Stella McCartney, it is clear there is a large market of consumers craving more elevated athleisure offerings.
While our society's daily attire choices are more informal than they were a few years ago, many of us still want to wear sleek and sophisticated styles while remaining both casual and comfortable. To create a balanced look that allows you to indulge in these two sartorial desires, try out a well-fitting sweatshirt paired with high-shine leggings (another trend this season) or a pair of tailored track pants.
