Athleisure

Sporty chic is the new comfort-zone

Athleisure, a trend that burst into the fashion industry last Summer, is in full bloom now, becoming a sensation for Spring-Summer 2017 collections. We find no reason not to love this feminist trend — according to us — that puts comfort upfront but doesn’t shy away from luxury or sexyness, borrowing from the sports vocabulary to create luscious leggings, micro-skirts and eye-popping patterns. In a word, athleisure does the perfect job of turning active wear into glamour!

Max Mara expresses the benchmark in modern fashion – leggings – for their comfort and attraction, with a matching corset top to throw us back to some nostalgic Dita Von Teese sweet ’n’sultry corset lingerie. Whether it’s for a casual latte, to run some errands or an afternoon jog, nobody could ever tell.
