If you’re a big reader of fashion magazines and follow the blogs, you may have heard of this thing called “athleisure” that’s been floating around for a couple of years.
We can probably trace its origins back to the summer that Miley Cyrus started wearing grillz, but why would want to do that? Instead, let’s just focus on the facts.
The basic premise is that you take the clothes that you normally wear to the gym, and then you wear them to places that aren’t the gym. Before you take this as a critique, let me be the first to say that some people look amazing sporting this trend, like this stunning mom and her line of gorgeous swimsuits.
But, more often than not, it ends up looking like a slightly misguided ensemble-assembly attempt. Like you tried to go to the gym, but got confused and put on heels as well. The whole trend kind of reminds me of this uncomfortable parody commercial for Carl Jr’s.
Fortunately, there are a lot of women out there ready to take activewear by the ears and show us how it’s done. They’re the ladies behind the brilliant Australian comedy troupe Skit Box, and they are here to parody the heck out of athleisure, and remind us what all that spandex was really designed for. Though honestly, there is no force on Earth that will make me stop wearing yoga pants to work.
If this hilarious parody video cracked you up, please SHARE on Facebook for all of your friends to enjoy!
