It seems it wasn't a long time ago when fashion and athletic wear are two distinct worlds. But times are changing, and with many consumers placing more value on both comfort and style in their fashion choices, athleisure has become the fastest growing clothing category.

In a report published by Allied Market Research, the global activewear market is expected to reach $547 billion by 2024, representing a 6.5 percent CAGR between 2018 and 2024. The overall fashion industry, on the other hand, is predicted to post a 4 percent rise during the period.

The shift in consumer lifestyle is contributing greatly to the rise of athleisure. Prioritizing health and fitness, many consumers now are living an active lifestyle and more willing to spend on health and wellness products over items that are considered luxury.

This change has a profound influence on the way people dress and how they view fashion. In recent fashion shows, for example, streetwear fashion trends are starting to dominate the runways, blurring the lines separating activewear and daywear.

In tune with the times, Global Sources offers a range of athleisure wear that will spice up any fashion catalog. The selection includes yoga tops, sports shirts, leggings, hosiery and footwear that are not only visually appealing but also comfortable to wear.

Below are some of the top picks.
