The increasing awareness of health and wellness has sparked an interest in comfort apparel. Especially, the hectic work schedules today seldom spare any time for workouts, and carrying an extra pair of sweatpants to work is just not the best option. One would love to step out for the day and hit the gym between the brakes, without having to think twice about slipping into something comfortable. All this, and the outfit still has to be trendy to compliment one’s style statement as it adds to one’s personality and confidence. While there are many brands in the segment that offer comfortable apparel or workout apparel, the monotonous black, blue & grey is a big turn down, setting the trendsetters towards an unsatisfying search that never ends!
