5 Must-Have Athleisure Styles | Nordstrom Style Guide

Refresh your casual wardrobe with these five key activewear pieces that blend comfort and fashion effortlessly.

5 Must-Have Athleisure Styles | Nordstrom Style Guide

Refreshing your off-duty style is as easy as slipping into a few cozy athletic-inspired items. The secret to looking chic rather than gym-ready? Pair sporty pieces with more tailored elements. This contrast creates a sporty-luxe aesthetic that's ideal for relaxed weekends.

Along with your go-to sneakers, adding a few new items to your wardrobe will help your outfits transition smoothly from winter to spring. These are versatile pieces you can mix and match, giving each ensemble a fresh, modern vibe.

Track pants

Ultra-comfortable and effortlessly cool, track pants are dominating street style this season. Instead of wearing a full tracksuit, try pairing the pants with a blazer. It's the ultimate power combination, blending a relaxed attitude with professional polish. Don't hesitate to style them with heels or sleek flats, though sneakers also work perfectly.

Shop our picks:

Givenchy tonal logo track pants | Pam & Gela stripe track pants | Topshop stripe track pants

Hoodies

Hoodies were the gateway garment to our current athleisure craze. When designers like Demna Gvasalia began crafting (or deconstructing) this sweatshirt style with their signature details, the fashion world quickly found ways to make it a versatile top for any outfit. Feel free to pair it with both skirts and trousers.

Shop our picks:

Champion Reverse Weave® pullover hoodie | Vetements Light Hometown hoodie | Burberry Krayford embroidered hoodie

Sports bras

A sporty base layer can set the stage for your sleek style. New sports bra designs are so fashion-forward that you may want to show them off under a (also trending) sheer top. Mesh panels, structured cups, and logo bands make slipping on—and flaunting—these undergarments a move we fully support.

Shop our picks:

New Balance Escape sports bra | Zella Body in the Lead sports bra | Calvin Klein Laser racerback bralette

Windbreakers

It's rare that such a practical purchase also serves as a statement piece. This spring, windbreakers will be on the shoulders of women everywhere, regardless of the weather. These lightweight layers give your outfit a carefree vibe. Our advice is to choose a style with a relaxed fit and a pop of color.

Shop our picks:

Topshop colorblock windbreaker jacket | Cotopaxi Teca packable windbreaker jacket | Proenza Schouler PSWL padded short windbreaker

Sporty tees

Show off your favorite athletic brand with a new tee. These bold logos are instantly recognizable and add personality to your go-to jeans. This season, classic cuts and prints will make this the shirt you reach for time and time again.

Shop our picks:

PUMA Glam oversize tee | Reebok graphic logo tee | IVY PARK logo tape boxy tee
