Those off-duty garments were replaced many moons ago by the advent of athleisure &#8212; loosely defined as women&#8217;s fitness wear that&#8217;s cool enough to wear while working out as while running errands or hanging out doing nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the fashion world&#8217;s taste for fitness wear has swung the other way recently. The cool girl&#8217;s off-duty uniform is no longer well-fitting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/how-to-wear-joggers\/\">joggers<\/a> and workout tops with sleek cutouts. Nope, those pieces are taking a backseat to sweatpants, bike shorts (yes, seriously), and chunky dad sneakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you actually wear these basic fitness pieces and look stylish? In a word: yep! Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women&#8217;s fitness wear: Back to basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sweatpants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the ever-comfortable sweatpant never completely fell out of style, it did lose status as the most comfortable casual bottom when we found yoga pants and leggings. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/fashion-trends-spring-summer-2012\/\">iteration on old styles<\/a> is a big part of what makes fashion so fun, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new breed of sweatpants simply did itself one better by addressing its inherent lack of style. The result: surprisingly chic sweats that are unusually versatile and \u2014 strangely \u2014 go with more than you might expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sweatpants.jpg\" alt=\"Olive green sweatpants\" class=\"wp-image-127051\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sweatpants.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sweatpants-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sweatpants-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Lovers + Friends Saturn Sweatpants, $48, Revolve<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolve.com\/saturn-sweatpants\/dp\/LOVF-WP208\/?d=Womens&amp;AID=11017645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lovers + Friends Saturn Sweatpants<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, for example, look suitably low-key, but aren\u2019t just for wearing around the house.

Think back to the days when you were popping an MC Hammer cassette into the tape deck. Now consider the outfit you&#8217;re wearing as you hear the opening beat of U Can&#8217;t Touch This. Perhaps an oversized t-shirt and skintight shorts? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we have various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/celebrity-trendsetters\/\">celebrity trendsetters<\/a> to thank for the resurgence of the bike short. Kim Kardashian wears them everywhere and with everything from studded leather jackets to billowy sweatshirts. Bella Hadid wore her memorably metallic pair on a night out. There\u2019s a little bit of moxie required to wear them that way, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t wear them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One suggestion? Make it fun instead of serious. Bike shorts don\u2019t look quite at home with, say, tailored blazers, but do make suitable partners for a relaxed top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bw5eXE6DeX1\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bw5eXE6DeX1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ohsoglamblog<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> shows a fun way to rock a pair of hot pink bike shorts with a juicy peach top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dad sneakers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sneakers.jpg\" alt=\"dad sneakers: women&#039;s fitness wear trend\" class=\"wp-image-127054\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sneakers.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sneakers-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/womens-fitness-wear-sneakers-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dsw.com\/en\/us\/product\/fila-disruptor-ii-premium-sneaker---womens\/417337?activeColor=125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fila Disruptor II, $64.99, DSW<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So-called \u201cdad\u201d sneakers have a certain endearing quality.
