How many days are you caught between wanting to look laid back, or fabulous? This season’s growing fad, athleisure, says you can do both. According to the NPD Group, “total men’s and women’s active wear apparel sales in the United States grew over “17 percent to $35.4 billion in the last 12 months.” Due to this growing trend, many renowned design houses like Tory Burch (Tory Sport) have recently shifted their focus onto creating a new niche in the market: luxury sportswear. Comfortable, functional, and fashionable, luxury sportswear is high-end active wear and lounge wear for those wanting to make a bit more of a statement while breaking a sweat. NET-A-PORTER, a high-fashion online retailer is one of the many places where you can update your wardrobe. They recently designated a portion of their digital marketplace to the emerging trend and refer to it as NET-A-SPORTER. The mecca of luxury retail describes their new venture as “the ultimate fusion of fashion and function.” Take a look at Destination Luxury’s top 10 luxury sportswear brand picks:
