Athflow is an abbreviated word formed by combining the words athleisure and flow. Actually, this term is not that recent, but was born out of the need in the past to define a type of clothing for sports and leisure activities. Initially born as sportswear, it then became activewear and, finally, athleisure. It is the first term to express the combination ofathletic activities (athl-) and of leisure and relaxation (-leisure).
This term defines the new sporty-chic fashion trend or, more generally, a lifestyle in itself for 2021: professional for a business video call, elastic for an online yoga or pilates class, comfortable for relaxing on the sofa. An evolution of the cosy style, which is yet another popular term that comes from the fashion sector, which refers to comfort and relaxation.
In 2020, we got used to working from home, and the first thing that comes to mind is that we can work in our pyjamas while sitting comfortably on the sofa. But staying and working at home does not mean that we have to give up being stylish and elegant, and wanting to dress up and take care of ourselves in the comfort of our home.
While at first we spent the whole day in pyjamas, as the months went by we started to feel the need to express our own style also in our everyday activities, despite the many restrictions imposed. Hence the need to fill our wardrobe with garments that would be comfortable to wear for any activity, but that could also be enhanced by adding personal style touches.
Here are the iconic garments of this new athflow trend:
The jumpsuit, which has to be oversized, a garment that was shunned before the pandemic and has now become a staple in our wardrobe. Today more than ever before, all we need to do is add an extra detail, such as choose a pastel colour, a pair of earrings, a belt or a glamorous coat to go with it, and we’re done!
The hat, a must-have accessory to go with the jumpsuit, and we can add a sporty touch if we choose a visor hat or an even cosier touch if we go for a wool hat.
Leggings (also called yoga pants) paired with a super cool sweatshirt that can perhaps be found in an online vintage clothing site.
And, to conclude, we cannot leave out the now highly popular furry slippers, which are slippers with fur on them, to be worn with or without socks, as long as they are flat!
Athflow has now become a trend in itself, which is growing in all sectors, as predicted by many trend-setting sites such as Pinterest Predicts. Its purpose is to make every area of our life more comfortable: cocooning clothes, detergents and fabric softeners that can make our clothes even softer, room fragrances and fabric fragrances that provide a sense of relaxation, services that can make our lives “comfortable”…
