Professional Athleisure

Formal garments adopt athletic wear's flexible and comfortable properties

Trend - The concept of athleisure is moving into the office space as semi-formal and formal garments are designed to be more comfortable and suitable for active lifestyles. This is realized through the fusion of performance materials and elegant silhouettes—from stretchier and anti-microbial fabrics to cushioned dress shoes.

Insight - Millennials in the workspace are faced with "crunch culture" which necessitates a constant on-the-go performance, early mornings, and late nights. As the office space is redefined to optimize efficiency, a desire for flexibility in terms of attire arrises. This will allow workers to feel comfortable throughout the day, allowing them to focus more on performance, rather than appearance.
Workshop Question - How can your product better adapt to the concept of flexibility?

2. Versatile Performance Wear - A growing demand for comfortable and practical clothing that hide technical capabilities in a chic style is driving the development of versatile performance wear. This trend is seen in sophisticated trousers, tailored suits, and activewear chinos.
3. Smart Fabric & Design Integration - The integration of smart fabrics and design technologies such as body mapping is revolutionizing the fashion industry by creating high-performance, multi-functional garments with enhanced comfort, accessibility, and flexibility for everyday wear.
Industry Implications
