It's official: It's socially acceptable to wear your sweats out in public . What makes this possible, you ask? The word "athleisure" will be added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary in 2016, Quartz reports.

The term refers to "casual clothing designed to be worn both for exercising and for general use." Most recently, athleisure has appeared on models like Gigi Hadid , not to mention the entire Kardashian-Jenner crew . The active/street-wear hybrid has become a focus of many higher-end labels like Mara Hoffman , Rebecca Minkoff , Tory Burch and Derek Lam . If you're having trouble picturing it, think pants with some kind of stretch, a comfortable convertible top and a pair of sneakers.
