THE FLEECING OF AMERICA
Some athleisure pieces, such as fl eecewear, seem to have tremendous
staying power. " I believe the fl eecewear segment will continue to grow,
even in the warmer months, because of comfort of working from home
and the relaxed feel [that] fl eecewear provides, " Brown says.
Johnson agrees that fl eece is now a year-round staple, as dramatic
weather or temperature changes aff ect most consumers. " Layering is
essential almost as much in the summer as in the winter, " he says. " Fabric
weight, however, does come into play here. Consumers want options
of lightweight, midweight and heavyweight apparel. While we saw a
lot of lightweight tees and sweats over the last decade, midweight and
heavyweight [garments] now have even footing. "
" As we transition to more fl exible
work environments and the
dramatic embrace of Zoom and its
counterparts, it's clear athleisure is
the new 'everyday casual.' "
