he yoga-meets-fashion influence is
elegant, playful, and approachable.
Designers eager to offer comfortable pieces that can transition from day to
night have turned to the sports and yoga
world’s wardrobes for relaxed, sophisticated tops and bottoms.
Think sporty-chic leggings, cutout
tops you can wear to the studio or the
office, and stylish but breatheable fabrics
that blur the line between working out
and working it. In turn, this season’s yoga
clothes have taken a cue from the runway
by embracing color blocking, big prints,
and a sense of whimsy in their cuts.
Whether you’re on or off the mat,
here’s how to wear the season’s top trends:
fiery reds, pattern-on-pattern layering,
mixed stripes, peekaboo sheers and open
cuts, and bold black-and-white blocking.
