The onset of autumn typically signals a shift in energy for residents of Kuwait. Due to the cooler weather, the possibility of taking our exercise program outside increases – dust storms excepting, and we can now head to parks to complete our fitness circuits and not solely use malls. Indoors or out, it is always important to look the part, and under one roof Debenhams offers a number of leading #Athleisure brands for the whole family that look great, and are comfortable whether you’re determined to work up a sweat or simply take it easy.
At Debenhams the entire family can get kitted out in the latest #Athleisure gear from top brands Reebok and adidas with collections for men, women and kids available. Ladies, you’ll want to check out Fabletics for amazing shape, HIIT for those intensive workouts, and SikSilk for urban streetwear vibes. New Balance gives style and support in the men’s and women’s collections, and lucky men, you get to explore the Nike collection just for you! We may be a little jealous so don’t be surprised if we borrow a couple items from the Hype kids’ collection. We decided to explore a little further these labels that share the global trend for #Athleisure.
adidas is one of the coolest brands out there. Renowned for their collaborations from Beyonce to Stella McCartney, the three stripes are instantly recognizable around the globe, and this label is an exciting new acquisition for Debenhams customers. While there is no question that adidas has the technical know-how to bring you “ath” that works as hard as you do, they’re bringing their number one “leisure” game too, so once you’ve walked around Al Shaheed Park, you won’t feel out of place schmoozing in one of the hippest coffee spots in Kuwait.
It’s hard to find a better example of fitness meets fashion than Fabletics. Founded by Hollywood star Kate Hudson, Fabletics had to be A-Star to fit in with the LA lifestyle. At once both functional and fabulous there is no compromise when it comes to the quality of the fabrics used. PowerHold is a fabric unique to the lifestyle brand that is exclusively available at Debenhams and it delivers all stretch – to fit you perfectly, maximum compression – streamlining your curves, protects you from the sun with SPF 50 and is moisture wicking too. On top of all of this utility you can find lace details, flounces, frills and ruching, as well as the option of simple, bold, sporty design elements.
Available for women, HIIT apparel is designed specifically for high-intensity interval training so the clothes work as hard as you do! With details like sports pockets, control support and lightweight materials this is high quality gear at affordable prices.
Hype gets kids excited about #Athleisure with cool colors and “life ready designs” which means your kid’s lifestyle has been kept in mind when putting these collections together. Everyday styles, which you can mix and match and that have the added advantage of being unisex with relaxed fit cuts!
Available for men and women, New Balance footwear has crossed over into the fashionable side of popular culture through a number of sneaker releases over the years. Not bad for a brand that became known because of its unique three-pronged arch support- inspired by a chicken. This support has even been referenced in song lyrics, “I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path” – Tribe Called Quest. The model number that the shoes use instead of names defines the type of shoe it is, the activity it was designed for and whether the sneaker is built for stability, or speed. Its archetypal runners have secured the brand’s global popularity and you can explore the collection in Debenhams.
Available in the Footlocker section for men, the Nike footwear collection features classic shapes like Air Force 1 which is the ideal athleisure shoe. The first ever basketball shoe to utilize Nike Air technology since 1982, the shoe revolutionized the sport and keeps the fashion-focused happy too, as your feet will be comfortable enough to walk for hours around the many levels of shopping delights to be found in Debenhams. Explore the Nike collection where you can find items with knit performance technology, keeping the sneaker lightweight, snug and environmentally friendly.
Reebok really made its mark with athlete focused sportswear so you know that the clothing from this brand is up to the minute. Transitioning to a fitness brand you get the heritage and experience adapted to fit your lifestyle choices for the entire family.
Available for women the sportswear meets streetwear brand SikSilk is urban with lots of retro influences. It’s a lifestyle brand that focuses on youth culture, “who are out there, being active, playing sport, being creative and making a statement in what they wear.”
No matter what your intentions, to keep fit or to keep fashionable, Debenhams has got a range of brands for you to choose from that fully embrace the #Athleisure label and lifestyle. We may not be going out as much, but in case you are out in public trying to get some fresh air and decide to visit somewhere more social, these #Athleisure pieces won’t let you down; keeping you up there in the cool stakes in more ways than one!
