55+ Fall Athleisure Items You Need on Your Wishlist

Sharing all the fall athleisure staples you need to add to your wishlist this season. From vests and pullovers to sneakers, socks, and hats, you’ll be sporty, comfy, and cute in no time.

Admittedly, I live in athleisure wear. It’s comfy, it’s easy, and you’re still able to look put together. Even if you’re not the most active person, this style fits everyone. Whether you’re heading to or from the gym, doing errands, getting work done at a coffee shop, or going on a hot girl walk, fall athleisure outfits will take you anywhere this season!

While fall fashion is often thought of as sweaters and denim, boots and stockings, or plaid skirts and flannels, athleisure opens a whole new world of possibilities for cute outfits this time of year. Not only are these pieces sure to be comfortable and versatile, but they are super cute, too!

Of course, athleisure wear is year-round, so to make it “fall,” really focus on the colors: browns, creams, taupes, and pops of burgundies, greens, and coppers. Depending on your climate, you can think about materials as well: sherpa, fleece, and quilt.

That being said, I’m sharing 15 general staples, along with 55+ specific items, you need for your fall athleisure wardrobe that you can mix, match, and use versatilely. You’ll want to add these to your cart pronto and start creating the cutest outfits.

1. Layering Tees

You’ll need layering tees to wear under hoodies, sweatshirts, or vest. Depending on where you live, you may even wear these as your main layer. Find tank tops, long sleeves, or baby tees – these are so versatile for fall and beyond!

2. Hoodies/Sweatshirts/Pullovers

Hoodies, sweatshirts, and pullovers are a must! There are so many different styles and designs, and although they are very lounge-y, they can certainly be dressed up and styled nicely. Definitely grab some in different colors, as well as ones with designs or embroidery.

3. Jackets

If you’re in a cold climate, you’ll probably want a jacket. Or maybe you’ll use this instead of a hoodie/sweatshirt. Either way, swap out your coats and leather for a more relaxed athleisure look!

4. Vests

Vests can really elevate an outfit, and for your fall athleisure fit, puffer vests, fleece vests, or athletic vests are perfect. You can layer them over long sleeve tees, hoodies, or sweatshirts! They’re also a great transitional piece you can use from the beginning of fall into winter.

BOTTOMS

5. Leggings

From cropped to bootcut to flare, leggings are essential for your fall athleisure outfits. Because athleisure has become so popular over the years, there are so many different brands, styles, fabrics, and designs to choose from!

6. Pants

If leggings aren’t your thing, look for some athleisure-type pants as a substitute. Joggers, wide-leg, and straight-leg pants are great options.

7. Shorts

If you live in a warmer climate, you’ll probably find yourself wearing shorts more often than pants or leggings. Whether biker shorts or running shorts are your thing, you’ll be able to find something that gives off the perfect fall vibes, even if it’s 80 degrees.

8. Skirts

Skirts are another great option if you live somewhere warm. For your fall athleisure outfits, tennis skirts and athletic skirts are perfect.

ACCESSORIES

10. Sneakers

If boots and heels are not your thing, then athleisure may be the style for you! Find comfortable – but still cute – sneakers to elevate your look. There are countless colors, styles, brands, and materials to match your vibe and lifestyle.

11. Bags

While most bags (tote, hobo, satchel, etc.) will work well with your fall athleisure outfit, the fanny pack/belt bag/cross body style is especially characteristic of the athleisure look. Like I said, athleisure can really be dressed up or down – if you’re going from the gym to getting your nails done to dinner with friends, you could use a bigger tote bag then switch it out for your designer purse. But here are some bags that are specifically athleisure-like:

12. Socks

Socks are an underrated accessory! Find some ankle socks with cute fall patterns or designs to show off with your sneakers, shorts, skirts, or even over your leggings.

14. Hats

I have been going back and forth deciding whether hats work for me or not. Regardless, I like the potential of hats and they can really add a lot to an outfit! Whether you’re running errands or going on a walk, a cute baseball hat or trucker hat could be the perfect addition to your fall athleisure outfit.

15. Jewelry

Jewelry does not necessarily scream athleisure… but it is the ultimate way to tie any look together. Find cute layering necklaces, earrings, and bracelets to complement your sporty athleisure look. Here are some perfect waterproof/tarnish resistant options to take you through the day:
