Unpopular opinion: I’m not a huge fan of athliesure. While I love to work out and have a robust wardrobe of exercise gear to prove it, you’d be hard-pressed to find me in leggings and a sports bra if I’m not on my way to the gym or yoga class. But after recently scouring Nike’s site, I must admit that the iconic sportswear company has officially made me eager to jump on the bandwagon.

The brand’s technical styles are sleeker than ever — think pieces like sophisticated crop tops and tennis skirts — meaning they not only work for fitness activities but are suitable for everyday ones, too. (Not to mention, they’ll keep you cool and comfortable even while you’re not working up a sweat.) What’s more, alongside its trendy lifestyle sneakers, Nike has expanded its apparel to include some impeccable streetwear silhouettes — including pretty textured bandeaus, maxi dresses and some uber-cute summer sandals.
