There’s no denying that the country-club version of athleisure is back again, as spotted on the comfy and chic ensembles donned by today’s most stylish stars. Dubbed as "Retro Athletic", the trend’s allure traces its roots back to the sartorial graces of the ‘80s, when preppy fashion coincided with fitness craze. 

Anchored by crisp whites, athletic color-blocking, flouncy skirts, and more, this look proves that grand slam style works on and off the court! Curious about this trend? Scroll away for some celeb-approved tricks to pull off fashion’s latest ‘it’ aesthetic.
