The Athleisure Trends You Can Get for Under $35
Attention, everyone: The newest drop from JoyLab has finally arrived, and the pieces are good. If you didn’t already know, JoyLab releases a new set of workout items every month at Target. Not only does the collection have extremely desirable price points—with everything under $100—but it also taps into what’s trending in the world of athleisure.
The latest drop is filled with bold, mood-enhancing colors and-of-the-moment prints as well as cool takes on classic workout staples. Ahead, I’m highlighting all of the eye-catching pieces I’m adding to my shopping cart—and because it wouldn’t be a shopping guide without a breakdown of the best trends of the moment, I’ve done just that.
Scroll down to shop my edit of the best new JoyLab pieces for fall, and get some ideas for how fashion girls are styling the trends. The best part? Each and every item is super affordable, ringing in under $35.
THE WINDBREAKER
With a return to the '80s on all of the F/W 18 runways, throwback windbreakers have made a huge return. Style yours with leggings or tucked into denim outside the gym.
THE NEON TURTLENECK
Here's a piece that you can easily wear at the gym or in a fashion-forward outfit. Neon is huge this season, and turtlenecks are easily the best layering piece for pulling it off. Wear it alone with jeans, or layer a button-down on top.
THE MATCHING SET
Here's an athleisure trend I can vouch for myself—I'm a huge fan of matching sets.
THE SWEATPANTS
If you're looking for your next airport travel outfit, make sure it involves sweatpants.
THE FLAME PRINT
You've probably spotted flame prints all over Instagram, but now you can try them out for the gym.
