THIS IS NOT "ATHLEISURE": MODEL ADRIANNE HO GIVES COOL WORKOUT GEAR AN UNFUSSY UPGRADE

Exercise clothes that feel right, whether you're running a 10Km  or working out in some way.

 Since its induction into the portmanteau​ canon, "athleisure"—somewhere between "permalance" and "jeggings"—has topped my list of words to kill. To me, "athleisure" is neither athletic nor leisurely. It's dozens of caffeinated New Yorkers rushing the door of a boutique fitness pop-up wearing printed compression tights. Happily, Adrianne Ho of Sweat the Style agrees. The Canadian model, fit person, and now designer joined forces with PacSun to create Sweat Crew, a collection of cool, unfussy workout gear that feels right, whether you're running a 10K or skating outside the Supreme store. Just don't call it "athleisure," her PacSun rep told WWD.

The clothes riff on Ho's favorite menswear pieces. A massive sweatshirt in dusty rose reveals flashes of skin, for example, when you unzip the sides. Like a modern "subway coat," a big reversible baseball jacket goes to and from the gym. A pair of ultra-light camouflage leggings have a back pocket big enough for an iPhone 6S. An easy favorite, albeit one that's all woman: Sweat Crew's harness sports bra has a zipper up the front, a solution to the agony of taking off a drenched bra after an especially vigorous workout.
