The athleisure trend is spiking, as guys want to be able to go from a workout to a casual setting without having to change clothes. Yoga is one of those practices where great fitting and good looking gear can transition to everyday life. “Gone are the days of sloppy gym shorts and t-shirts, guys are now opting for yoga and fitness-inspired apparel that is stylish and comfortable,” says Rishi Bali, founder and CEO of Yogasmoga, an active clothing brand. “Men love that these athleisure pieces are so versatile. Going from gym to life is so much easier now. It’s not uncommon to see someone wearing a pair of our pants matched with a blazer at a nice restaurant or in a boardroom.”
