16 Timeless Athleisure Staples Fashion People Will Wear for Spring
Of the many fashion aesthetics, athleisure is without a doubt my go-to. And if you ask fashion people what casual yet cute piece they can't live without, most have the same answer: the classic Gap hoodie. The brand has spent 30 years perfecting its iconic sweatshirts, and if you have yet to jump on the bandwagon, this spring's Gap Sweats collection offers the perfect opportunity. With refined cuts, new fabrics and weights (hello, VintageSoft and French terry!), and seemingly endless colors, I'm overwhelmed in the best way possible. My favorite part is that they come in sets—yup, each top has matching joggers, sweatpants, or shorts, letting you color-coordinate or mix and match to your heart's content. Keep scrolling to shop my curated edit.
Cozy Sweats
You deserve only the finest fleece for your sweat sets, and you can't go wrong with Gap's array of fabrics. If you're looking for soft, cloud-like fleece, Gap's VintageSoft material is your perfect match. If you crave that "favorite hoodie" type of comfort, it doesn't get any better than the textured French terry.
Elevated Sets
The knit fabric and V-neck cut on these matching separates make you look put-together while you're secretly comfy. You can wear these elevated staples anywhere from the office to vacation to weekend errands—and look impeccably chic while you're at it.
Retro Athleisure
Retro activewear is surging in popularity right now. If you can't get your hands on vintage pieces, these sporty selects channel the vibe perfectly.
Borrowed From Your Boyfriend
The ultimate comfort without sacrificing style. These heavyweight and extra-heavyweight styles are like the plush, thick, and cozy sweats that you'd steal from your boyfriend—but somehow better.
