What is the Everyday Sport trend?

Everyday Sport: Fashion and sports apparel brands are offering collections for everyday wear that aren't athleisure, but that reflect the materials and forms that sportswear is known for. These collections are designed for workplace or recreational uses, but offer the enhanced functionality of sports clothing.

Insight

The consumer insight behind the Everyday Sport trend

The athleisure trend that's taken hold in consumers' wardrobes, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z, has been influenced by a number of factors. Pop-culture and the inspiration that's taken from specific cultural groups have come together to influence consumers' fashion choices. In addition, the prioritization of fashion that's both stylish and comfortable has taken hold over more conservative approaches to fashion that preceding generations have. Consumers within this space are seeking out pieces that are both functional and adaptable to their professional and personal lives, especially now that so many consumers are working from home.
