athleisure

I know I'm not a typical fashion writer here at Betches—I tend to save my talents for Bravo recaps and the occasional hate piece—but I'm willing to branch out for something I'm extremely passionate about: wearing leggings as pants.

Karl Lagerfeld once said that “sweatpants are a sign of defeat,” but that was probably way before Gigi Hadid and the rest of the fashion betches created the athleisure movement to make it socially acceptable to wear comfortable clothes in public.

Thanks to the masterminds at SoulCycle, Kate Hudson’s latest attempt at relevancy, and LuLuLemon (s/o to my dad’s Amex), athleisure has become a standard code of dress.

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s basically 2004 again.

We’re not sure why, but brands always seem to come out with their coolest leggings toward the end of winter.

If you watched The Bachelorette and/or your bf makes you pretend to like football, you know who Aaron Rodgers is.
