It's Official: Gym Clothes Are the New Real Clothes
So saith celebrities. To which we respond: Thank you.

When we discovered thatoft-denounced sweatpants were among Google's most-searched spring 2015 trends, we realized the athleisure movement was far from fleeting. And not just for gym-goers or green juice enthusiasts, but, say, Hollywood stars, just going about their day-to-day.
With racks upon racks of designer clothing at their disposal, celebrities choose to run around town in their gym-friendly duds. No desperate scrambles to the car so as to avoid being seen, no quick-change acts, no walks of post-workout shame. Nay—yoga pants for the people, celebrities say!
Here, six pieces of celebrity permission to skip the change of clothes and just, you know, go out.
Jessica Alba
Kim Kardashian
Nikki Reed
Kendall Jenner
Gigi Hadid
Rita Ora
