According to Lyst, the athleisure trend isn’t going anywhere, any time soon. If anything, it’s just getting stronger as “searches for activewear items have seen a significant increase since the beginning of this new year and are currently up 59%.”

Beyond your standard leggings and sports bras, check out the top athleisure trends you should expect to see this year.

Sculpting Leggings: Sweaty Betty Super Sculpt High Waisted 7/8 Yoga Leggings $110

Leggings are obviously the most popular athleisure item, but, this year, everyone wants a pair that sculpts and shapes. These high compression leggings lift and sculpt your butt and legs yet are still so comfy.

Sustainable Activewear: Outdoor Voices Nimbus Cotton Cropped Hoodie $85

An emphasis on eco-friendly products extends to athleisure too! Outdoor Voices uses sustainably sourced materials (sometimes recycled) in their products to do their part for the environment.

One Piece Bodysuits: Free People Movement Center Stage Leotard $88

Expect to see a lot more leotards and bodysuits this year. This versatile item, which can be worn with pants, shorts or skirts, makes it easy to go from the gym to a night out.

Leggings With Pockets: Aerie Chill Camo Pocket Legging $24.46

As Lyst reports, the big trend is activewear that comes with functionality – and that’s exactly what leggings with pockets are. These Aerie leggings have long pockets to stow your smaller items.

Zip Leggings: Spanx Hip-Zip Faux Leather Leggings $128

Demand is also high for leggings that are so cool, but they still feel like, you know, leggings. Zip leggings are a popular choice as the zippers add an extra cool factor to an otherwise plain pair of leggings.

Black Coated Leggings: H&M Coated Leggings $19.99

According to Lyst, the search for black coated leggings is up 250%. The style makes it look like you’re wearing regular pants when you’re actually in what are basically sweats. Genius!

Metallic Leggings: Beyond Yoga Spot On High Waisted Midi Legging $93.99

In December, Jennifer Lopez was spotted in a pair of gold metallic leggings, and searches for metallic leggings immediately increased. This Beyond Yoga pair can easily work for a night out or a yoga class.

Pastel Yoga Pieces: Alo Yoga Bra $54

Soft colors like pinks, purples and blues are a big trend for yoga clothing, so try switching it up from all the black.

Super High Waisted Leggings: Carbon38 Form High Rise Full Length Legging $98

High waisted leggings aren’t going anywhere, which is a good thing. These fit comfortably and keep your tummy controlled.

Animal Print Leggings: Aerie Play Real Me High Waisted 7/8 Legging $31.46

Bold prints, especially animal prints, are trendy on leggings now. They’re fun and unique, so what’s not to love?

Monochrome Leggings: Zella Live In High Waist Leggings $59

Printed leggings might be having a moment, but that doesn’t mean monochrome is out. Lyst reported that solids like black, navy blue and green are popular because they’re so easy to pair with other tops and sneakers.
