From Athleisure to Workleisure, the 2021 Fashion Keyword to Remember: 'Comfort'

The key fashion keyword for 2021 is undoubtedly ‘comfort.’ Last year, as the boundaries of homewear blurred due to COVID-19, athleisure looks?‘clothing that can be worn both while enjoying exercise and leisure sports and in everyday life’?once again gained spotlight. In particular, the change brought by remote work, where office wear and homewear are no longer distinct, led to the rise of ‘workleisure looks’ that combine work and leisure, joining the ranks of fashion trends.

Casual, women’s wear, outdoor, and sports brands are focusing on newly proposing athleisure product lines, while existing athleisure-specialized brands are expanding their brand lines into casual and one-mile wear, broadening their scope.

Meanwhile, Moda Outlet, a rising powerhouse in the fashion distribution sector, is reflecting these trends in its spring events. The focus is on comfortable and practical clothing, emphasizing sports, outdoor, and golf wear brands.

First, Moda Outlet Gyeongju branch will hold a spring fashion proposal event from Thursday, April 8 to Wednesday, April 14. Multi-casual brand Crocs will hold a pop-up event, and outdoor brands NEPA and National Geographic will offer up to 80% discounts on spring/summer past-season items.
