Why Fashion Girls Are Replacing Their Leggings With Weekend Sets

Leggings have come a long way from the are they even pants debate, as they are now a fully crucial part of our go-to wardrobes. We wear them to the gym, to run errands, with blazers, and so on and so forth. Considering the frequency at which we wear leggings, burnout is something we're bound to experience. As of late, fashion girls have been swapping the traditional athleisure staple for a trend that's a bit more unconventional. No, we aren't talking about bike shorts; we're talking about weekend sets.

Weekend sets are still up for interpretation, but our definition involves either a sweatshirt or tank that has a matching pair of lounge shorts. Bike-short sets could be considered a weekend set as well, but for now, we're focusing on the comfortable and roomy shorts that make you feel like you're still in your pajamas. Throw on a cute weekend set for a Saturday filled with errands, a quick coffee with a friend, or even a lazy day in your house, and you'll feel weirdly pulled-together for wearing what are essentially loungewear pieces. This athleisure trend can be styled in a ton of ways due to the variety of styles out there. All you have to do now is scroll down and find the one that's right for you, and pretty soon you'll forget why you ever wore your leggings so much in the first place.
