6 THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING NEW ATHLEISURE

August 25, 2022

You’ve gone through your closet and have decided it’s time to purchase some new athleisure. Maybe you’ve become more active, your weight has been fluctuating, or your old pieces have worn out. Whatever the reason is, it’s time for you to start looking for new athleisure wear. Today, we’re here to help you out and tell you six things you should look for when purchasing new athleisure. In addition, we’ll also tell you about some high-quality men’s travel pants that are so good you won’t be able to say no to them. To learn everything you need to know about what to look for in athleisure, keep on reading.

1. High-Quality Fabric

Cheap athleisure is really tempting; we’re well aware of this. How can you turn away from a workout shirt that costs less than $20? When you buy cheap clothes like this, you definitely get what you pay for. The difference in the quality of the fabric between cheap and high-quality athleisure is evident. Cheap athleisure is uncomfortable, scratchy, and tears easily. Higher-end athleisure, on the other hand, is comfortable, breathable, stretchy, and lasts long without tearing or pilling. Make sure you’re fully aware of the fabric of your athleisure before you buy it.

2. Designed for Motion

Athleisure is meant to be worn for a variety of things, so whether you’re lounging around at home or running a marathon, athleisure should fit the bill for what to wear. Unfortunately, some cheaper athleisure brands are hoping that you’ll lean more towards the “leisure” in athleisure because clothes from cheap brands are not made to be worn during vigorous activity. You need to make sure your athleisure was designed to actually withstand motion. For example, let’s take a look at Paskho men’s travel pants. These athleisure pants were uniquely designed to have ergonomic seams and articulated knees in order to withstand essentially any motion. If you’re looking for some movement-friendly athleisure men’s travel pants, look no further than Paskho.

3. Multipurpose

The best athleisure is the kind that can be worn in a variety of contexts. How amazing would it be to be able to wear the same pants when going on a run that you wear to a business meeting? This is the type of thing you should look for when purchasing new attire. High-quality athleisure can be worn in multiple different situations.

The Paskho Contemplation slim-fit tapered khaki pants are a great example of this; they fit into the athleisure category while also looking like they could be incorporated into a business casual outfit. Buying athleisure that serves multiple purposes also helps protect the environment, which leads us to our next thing to look out for.

4. Sustainability

Sustainability is one of the biggest things you should look out for when shopping for new athleisure. Buying cheap clothes over and over again really takes a toll on the environment. Each piece of clothing that tears and is then thrown out takes up more space in landfills that are already overflowing, or it could end up in the ocean somewhere, presenting itself as a hazard to innocent wildlife. Purchasing high-quality athleisure wear from brands that value sustainability is a great way to show your support for our planet.

5. Sizing

Not many minor feelings are worse than ordering clothes online, trying them on, and realizing they don’t fit. It’s important to always check a brand’s sizing chart if you’re shopping online because each brand sizes its clothes differently. A medium in one brand could be large in another brand, and vice versa. Always take the extra step of referring to a brand’s sizing chart. It could save you the hassle of making an online return, or worse, throwing out the pieces that don’t fit, which is harmful to both your wallet and the environment. 

6. Storage

To really get the most out of your athleisure, you need to invest in pieces that have a lot of pockets. Without pockets, how are you supposed to carry your things around with you? If your response is to bring a bag, pockets can help save you from the hassle of that, too. Many athleisure pants, tops, and even some sports bras come with pockets now, making them a new athleisure necessity. Most men’s travel pants come with pockets as well, which can help you have a stress-free and comfortable travel experience.

Conclusion

In summary, here are the six things to look for when purchasing new athleisure:

●       High-quality fabric

●       Designed for motion

●       Multipurpose

●       Sustainability

●       Sizing

●       Storage

Purchasing new athleisure can be overwhelming, but if you stick to looking out for these six things, it’ll be a breeze. If you’re in the market for some men’s travel pants that check all the boxes, head over to the Paskho online shop to buy high-quality items you can wear in multiple contexts. You’ll be glad you did.
