Trend 1: High-waisted leggings
Chataigne shared, "Low-impact workouts that focus on total body wellness will continue to be a trend in 2022." She added, "Think pilates and yoga, with a focus on meditation, so you will want clothes that move with you and feel comfortable. The space-dye collection from Beyond Yoga is the softest yoga legging ever made. The high-rise fit won't rise down in downward dog and won't shred after 10 washes. I swear by them for myself and my clients. You can grab them in Pantone color of the year."
Trend 2: Tennis gear
Chataigne continued, "Last year, we saw a huge revival of tennis gear. Everyone started playing the social sport, and in 2022 it's only getting bigger. Tennis attire is a trend on and off the court."
Trend 3: Ballet -- but make it fashion
Chataigne said, "Ballet classes are not just for the professionals. From IG class, Equinox classes or Barre blend, anyone can now move like a dancer. Don't stress finding a leotard, but try a comfortable set from the Align collection from Lululemon. You can pair it with high-rise shorts, so you can see your body."
Trend 4: Marble for the gym
Chataigne shared, "Whether you're lifting or hiking, make a statement in a marble swirl set. This vibe is huge for 2022. Old Navy does it right without breaking the bank, and it's accessible for all sizes."
Trend 5: Wearable technology
Chataigne said, "Wearable technology will be going a step further in 2022. If you are already addicted to your Apple Watch, look for something to expand into helping you track a bit more of your wellness/lifestyle."
