Up your athleisure game this winter

We're all about comfort at LükBook, so we're living our best, cosy lives in athleisure wear this winter. 

ICYMI, athleisure is basically an elevated version of activewear - and will take you effortlessly (and comfortably) to brunch, school pick up, or a cheeky shopping trip.  

So, how can we rock athleisure in the colder months? Here are our five tips to help you rock athleisure wear throughout the winter season, keeping you warm, comfortable, and on-trend.

When the temperature drops, layering becomes essential. You don't want to find yourself shivering in the early morning breeze, or overheating in the middle of the day.

We recommend starting your athleisure look with a moisture-wicking base layer, such as thermal leggings or long-sleeve tops, to keep you warm and dry. Moisture-wicking basically means the fabric is designed to move moisture away from your skin. Next up, add a cosy and oversized hoodie or sweatshirt. For extra warmth, top it off with a lightweight down jacket or a stylish puffer vest. 

In terms of the colourway, you do you, babes! Monochromatic tones, pops of colour or earthy neutrals all looks fantastic. 

Upgrade your comfort level with winter-appropriate leggings or tights. There's nothing worse than freezing your derriere off on a metal cafe bench because you donned light-weight, summer leggings. 

We suggest aiming for thick, compression-style leggings, but if you're a southerner you might want to go all in on thermal or fleece-lined leggings that provide extra insulation. Experiment with different textures and patterns, like faux leather or knit leggings, to add interest to your outfit. 

Accessories can elevate your athleisure outfit while keeping you warm. We recommend opting for a chunky knit beanie or a trendy slouchy hat to protect your ears from the chilly breeze. Don't forget to add a cosy scarf. 

Still feeling the icy chill? Complete your look with fingerless gloves or touchscreen-friendly mittens to keep your hands toasty while staying connected.

Make a statement with your outerwear while staying cosy. A teddy coat can add a touch of elegance to your athleisure ensemble. Alternatively, opt for a sleek bomber jacket or a quilted vest for a sportier vibe. 

Choose outerwear that allows you to move comfortably and has functional features like hoods, deep pockets, and adjustable waistbands.

Your choice of footwear can make or break your athleisure look. For winter, opt for sneakers with a touch of insulation, such as high-top or shearling-lined sneakers. 

Classic white sneakers are the eternal classic, but also experiment with different colours and textures, like metallic accents or faux fur detailing, to add an element of fun and style to your outfit.

Our pick of stores and websites for finding the perfect kicks are Platypus Shoes, Bared Footwear, and Superga.
