5 Athleisure Fashion Trends We're Seeing Everywhere Right Now
We're living in the golden age of activewear, besties. Pilates has become a religion, group workouts are basically social events now, and athleisure is the new everyday uniform. Truly, you can't step out for a matcha run without seeing the same bra and leggings set that was in your heated Reformer class earlier that morning. I'm not complaining though. They're! All! So! Cute!!! I've been deep in the research trenches: doomscrolling TikTok and Reels, people-watching in NYC, and tracking the latest brand drops—all to know what the current athleisure fashion trends are. Here's what's coming in hot: wrap tops, espresso brown everything, double-layered sports bras, capri leggings, and bold contrast detailing. It's the kind of stuff that's practical, cool, and comfortable—aka pieces you'll want to wear even when you don't have exercise on the agenda. Keep scrolling to discover the five hottest athleisure trends—complete with my favorite (read: affordable!) picks—that are about to take over! Get ready for all the compliments about to come your way… Inspired by classic ballet style, wrap tops are the ideal lightweight layer to throw over a sports bra or tank, perfect for rounding out a look and adding just enough warmth on breezy days or in over-air-conditioned studios. Breathable and easy to move in, they keep you cozy without causing a mid-workout sweat fest. Last year, we saw this delicious hue take over everyday wardrobes—and now, it's officially made its way into your activewear drawer. (Maybe we have Sabrina Carpenter to thank?) Either way, it's safe to say this colorway is the new go-to neutral—step aside, black—and honestly, I'm not mad about it. It adds an element of richness and warmth that makes even your simplest gym ensemble feel more elevated. Layering has become a trend in its own right over the past few years, and now, it's showing up in activewear staples like sports bras. The double-bra look (yes, two stacked styles!) is officially A Thing that brings a playful, unexpected twist to your workout 'fit. Plus, a little extra support for the girls? No complaints here. Yes, they're back, and we're fully embracing it. They're the perfect length for warmer days when full-length leggings start to feel too much. Also, they can be quite versatile! Swap your sneakers for kitten heels and your sports bra for a simple cami, and you've got an easy outfit ready for whatever the day (or night) throws at you. With so many styles out there—reversible, butt-lifting, high-waisted, and more—there's something for whatever vibe (or workout) you're going for. As someone who tends to shy away from bold sporty looks, I love a good contrast trim that incorporates dimension and visual structure without pushing me out of my comfort zone. If you want to take it up a notch, go for styles with bright colorways. Or, if you're like me and tend to stick to earth tones, look for pieces that play with subtle accents in a more muted palette.

The best nightgowns that you can wear as a dress, since it's a sleepwear-as-streetwear summer
The summer of 2025 is the summer of pajamas as real clothing. Walk around SoHo or Brooklyn, and you'll see tons of New York City's tastemakers wearing boxers as shorts. Often, these are paired with a long-sleeved button-down in what I call the "Skype interview" or Risky Business aesthetic. So it stands to reason that nightgowns are the next bedroom staple to emerge from the intimates drawer and onto the city streets. Credit this to Sabrina Carpenter's tour wardrobe, influencer Harling Ross' collaboration with nightdress brand If Only If, the rise of a vintage, romantic aesthetic, or even the simple fact that we deserve a break from fitted waistbands. All of these dresses (minus the last one, which is made from a linen blend) are 100% cotton. Once you go 100% cotton, it's almost impossible to return to the stifling polyester blends that are so common in sundresses. Cotton — especially cotton poplin — is breathable, light, and feels great against your skin. All these nightgowns function as some of the best pajamas, even if you choose to wear them as a dress. And they're perfect for hot sleepers in the summer who want the best cooling pajamas for temperature regulation. A short, breezy choice that isn't see-through at all The Alice Nightgown from Lake is made from a seersucker material that stays crisp and cool. I got it in the more nightdress-adjacent white color, but there are other colorways, like nautical blue or mint green, that look a little more like real dresses. How it feels to wear as a dress: I want all my dresses to feel this breathable and light. The Alice Nightgown basically floats around your body, with no uncomfortable necklines or even rough seams. When there's inevitably a day in the summer when it's so humid that breathing outside feels like gulping steam, this is the dress I will reach for. Not only does the white version not show sweat, but the fabric is also cool to the touch and supremely airy. This nightgown is also pretty opaque. While some of the dresses on this list lean into the casual sheerness of cotton, the seersucker material keeps this from being translucent, even in direct sunlight. How it feels to sleep in it: I mentioned above that when the humidity hits, this is the first dress I'll be wearing outside. So I have a feeling that this piece will be constantly in the wash, because this would be my choice for hot, sticky nights as well. Trust me, sleeping in front of the fan in this crisp, thin-strapped dress will be a much more pleasant experience than sleeping in an old T-shirt that's probably made with nonporous synthetics. Fabrics make all the difference when it comes to temperature control. The elegant vintage gown that's too pretty to just wear to bed When I walk around in The Kayla from Eileen West, I feel like a heroine from a bygone era. Granted, the heroine of a Jane Austen novel would never use this nightgown as an outside dress — but she would have a great scene brushing her hair in front of an antique vanity while wearing it. How it feels to wear as a dress: Modest dressers, be warned that this pick is a little see-through. It's not overly transparent, but you can see the outline of your legs in direct sunlight. Personally, I'm all for enjoying the breezy, sheet-like feel of the dress and leaning into the subtle sheerness. Nude underwear is definitely a must, though. I love wearing this out in the summer. It's perfect for picnics, brunches in the sunshine, and holding a baguette and flowers as you dreamily walk through the farmers market. Unlike some of the more modern cuts, this nightgown has a distinct vintage feel that's fun to lean into. How it feels to sleep in it: Since I have a larger bust, this wouldn't be my first choice for sleeping. The lace neckline — while beautiful — makes this a little tight under my arms and around my chest. Unbuttoning the first two buttons solves this problem pretty well and makes it comfortable enough to be a daytime dress, but I think it would tug at me if I tried to sleep in it. If you don't have a larger bust, though, this shouldn't be a concern. A cottagecore number with Swiss dots and delicate florals With a pattern of tiny blue flowers and a ruffled neckline, the Elizabeth Nightgown is what cottagecore dreams are made of. It makes me wish I had a garden and a sourdough loaf in the oven. How it feels to wear as a dress: On the scale of transparent to opaque, this definitely errs on the side of transparent. If you want to wear it as a dress, pairing it with a nude slip (or even a skirt slip) is a good idea. The aesthetic itself is definitely on par with ultra-feminine trends like hair bows and Mary Janes. Plus, the general vibe is reminiscent of trend-making brands like Hill House (but the dresses and nightgowns there will run you around $200, compared to $74 for Eileen West). How it feels to sleep in it: Because the fabric is a little more sheer, it's also ultra breezy, which makes it good for summer nights. Initially, I had my doubts about sleeping in this gown because of the raised Swiss Dots and the longer length. But even though it's a full-length dress, I had no issues tossing and turning in this at night. And the Swiss Dots didn't cause me any annoyance at all, even though I'm a sensitive sleeper. The perfect dress for cosplaying as a Victorian ghost This dress from Petite Plume was my nightgown gateway drug. I wore it once to bed. And then again to work from home the next day. And then right into bed again. It makes me look like a chic vintage ghost, and I love that about it. How it feels to wear as a dress: The Ava Nightgown isn't very see-through, so it's ready for the streets even with no slip (although it is still a nightgown, so it's not 100% opaque). But it's quite a versatile dress. You can wear the sleeves off the shoulder or keep the square neckline. Personally, I love how it looks off the shoulder, but I can't bring myself to wear a restricting strapless bra with a dress that's meant to be comfy and breezy. It would also look great with a thin belt to give it some shape. How it feels to sleep in it: Wonderful. It's comfortable, loose enough that nothing is tugging at you, and has no extra design details that are for aesthetics rather than comfort. It does get wrinkled in bed, though, but that's expected with 100% cotton. An embroidered pick that's fully opaque This is the only nightgown on this list that's not 100% cotton. It's a mix of cotton and linen, which is the only acceptable "cotton blend" that we will stand for. The material on this one isn't as soft and billowy as the others, but it is considerably more opaque. It's also from one of our favorite up-and-coming clothing brands, Damsen Madder, a London-based label. How it feels to wear as a dress: If you're tall, this will be more like a shirt on you. I'm just under five feet two inches, and even I could use an extra inch or two on the hem. But despite it being a little short, I still get tons of use out of it as a dress. It's what I pull on when I'm crossing the street to get a coffee or walking my dog. Plus, I love the look of the babydoll silhouette with a cute pair of Mary Janes. How it feels to sleep in it: If you want to wear it to bed, I would recommend sizing up a bit. The neckline is a little restricting, so those who thrash about in their sleep might find it a little too uncomfortable. I've also found that the material isn't as breathable as the other picks on this list, so it traps heat in a bit more.

This Unexpected '90s Fashion Trend Is Back - And Better Than Ever
When it comes to fashion trends, it's no secret that what goes around comes around – and there's no better proof of that than the nineties and late noughties, home to some of the most coveted sartorial resurgences we're seeing today. From gingham and plaid skirts à la Rachel Green and Clueless , to the return of low-rise jeans, there's no shortage of vintage-style staples that blend nostalgia with contemporary style. One of the most romantic and playful resurgences? The babydoll dress. Once strictly reserved for nightwear, this loose-fitting silhouette has been endorsed by the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, as well as high fashion labels such as Emilia Wickstead, Chloé, and Loewe – the latter even showcasing mini babydoll dresses at the Spring/Summer 2025 runway shows. But we're not here to talk frocks – we're here to talk about the cropped, modern version: the babydoll top. And there's one in particular leading the charge on the high street: the Abercrombie & Fitch Sheer Babydoll Cami. 1. Abercrombie & Fitch, Sheer Babydoll Cami - Snake Print Shop the popular A&F cami that perfectly encapsulates the '90s. Much like any babydoll top (which typically features a peplum or shift hemline) the Abercrombie top has quickly become a fashion insider favourite, thanks to its on-trend silhouette and breezy wearability for the warmer months. Available in a range of designs and colour ways, including classic black and white, it's the snake print version that's truly flying off both the virtual and in-store shelves. Not only does it embrace the babydoll resurgence, but it also taps into another kitschy yet chic Y2K revival – snake print. While the see-through material of the babydoll top might suggest it's best suited for more glittering occasions, its versatility means it can easily be adapted for more casual off-duty styling. For daytime, consider layering a thin black cami underneath for extra coverage (although you might want to skip the layers altogether during the warmer months) and pair it with your favourite pair of jeans for a relaxed look. When it comes to the evening, simply ditch the cami and let the top shine on its own, styling it with the same trusted denim and elevating the outfit with a pair of kitten heels, perfect for date nights. Of course, with any trending staple, the high street offering seldom disappoints. While Abercrombie's selection has quickly gained traction among those looking to tap into the babydoll revival, there's no shortage of other gems to be found, from H&M to Nobody's Child to name a few. Shop the rest below - including the other Abercrombie & Fitch versions. 2. Abercrombie & Fitch, Babydoll Top - Black Lace Alternatively, opt for the chic black lace iteration for nights out. 3. Abercrombie & Fitch, Babydoll Top - White Lace Choose the white version for summer days out. 4. Nobody's Child, Blue Camille Cami Top From the Poppy Delevingne X Nobody's Child collection, shop a light blue babydoll top with lace detailing. 5. Second Female, Babydoll Top Price: £93 Available to shop from Anthropologie, this babydoll top will keep you cool during even the hottest days. 6. Damson Madder, Amaya Blouse Damson madder knows a thing or two about a viral blouse - and the Amaya is no exception.

Is Sabrina Carpenter a part of Mamma Mia 3? Producer finally answers the BIG question
Amanda Seyfried and producer Judy Craymer have addressed the persistent rumors surrounding a potential third "Mamma Mia!" film. While Seyfried playfully hinted at a possible Greece-based sequel before 2038, Craymer emphasized the franchise's enduring appeal and ABBA's timeless music. Fan speculation about Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast has also surfaced, with Seyfried expressing her support for the idea. The 2000s rom-com era delivered plenty of gems, but few shine brighter than Mamma Mia! (2008). Starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried , the film became a cult classic, thanks in large part to their unforgettable mother-daughter chemistry and career-defining performances. Exactly a decade later, the beloved sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hit the screens, continuing the story with just as much heart and charm. Since then, whispers of a third installment have surfaced now and then—though lately, the buzz has grown louder, prompting a response from Amanda Seyfried herself. In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Amanda Seyfried was finally pressed to address the one burning question on every musical rom-com fan's mind: 'What's happening with Mamma Mia 3?' True to her playful style, Amanda quipped, 'Oh... yeah, Mamma Mia 3 is happening. Hopefully in Greece, before 2038.' Safe to say, Amanda's cheeky reply wasn't the concrete update fans were hoping for. However, franchise producer Judy Craymer offered a more hopeful perspective in her interview with Deadline. She emphasized her unwavering belief in Mamma Mia's timeless global appeal—anchored by ABBA's iconic music. Craymer noted that the charm of ABBA transcends generations, saying, 'The Sabrina Carpenter generation and Dua Lipa's, and even Pink's generation, are all influenced by the songs.' When asked directly if Sabrina Carpenter might join the Mamma Mia universe, producer Judy Craymer playfully envisioned her as 'a goddess' or perhaps a character related to Meryl Streep's Donna—someone who could strikingly resemble the iconic lead. While not a confirmation, the idea certainly adds fuel to fan speculation. Interestingly, the more popular fan-cast fantasy has Sabrina Carpenter playing the daughter of Amanda Seyfried's character. But with only about a 13-year age gap between the two stars, the idea raises some eyebrows. It remains to be seen whether Amanda would be on board with such a bold casting choice. Refreshingly candid, Amanda Seyfried addressed the fan-casting buzz in a 2023 chat with ABC News. Embracing the idea, she said she'd happily don old-age makeup if needed. 'I'm an actor. I'll do it,' she quipped, adding that she's a big fan of Sabrina Carpenter and fully on board if it happens.

Elden Ring Nightreign may be co-op, but I'm having a blast solo
Imagine playing Fortnite, but instead of fighting other players, all you want to do is break into houses to look for caches of slurp juice. Yes, the storm is closing in on you, and there's a bunch of enemies waiting to kill you, but all you want to do is take a walking tour of Tilted Towers. Then when the match is over, instead of queueing again, you start reading the in-game lore for Peely and Sabrina Carpenter. You can count your number of player kills on one hand meanwhile your number of deaths is in the hundreds. You've never achieved a victory royale, but you've never had more fun. That's how I play Elden Ring Nightreign. Nightreign is FromSoftware's first Elden Ring spinoff, and it's unlike any Souls game that the developer has done before. Nightreign has the conceit of so many battle royale games — multiplayer combat focused on acquiring resources across a large map that slowly shrinks over time — wrapped in the narrative, visual aesthetics, and combat of Elden Ring. Instead of the Tarnished, you are a Nightfarer. Instead of the expansive Lands Between, you are sent to Limveld, an island with an ever-shifting landscape. And instead of becoming the Elden Lord, your goal is to defeat the Night Lord and end the destructive storm that scours the land. Elden Ring Nightreign aura-farming exhibit A. In Nightreign, gameplay sessions are broken up into expeditions, each of which is divided into three day-night cycles. During the day, you — either solo or with two other players — explore the world looking for weapon upgrades and fighting bosses for the enhancements they reward. You'll be forced to move as the deadly Night's Tide slowly consumes the map, whittling your health to nothing if you're caught in it. When the map is at its smallest, you face a tough midboss. Defeat it to commence day two of the expedition or die and start it all over. Then, on the third day, you face the expedition's final boss. There are several expeditions to conquer each with different bosses, mid-bosses, weapons to collect, and all kinds of events that make each run unique. I had the opportunity to play Nightreign once before earlier this year (and during a more recent network test) , and it wasn't the best preview, as the game was plagued with all kinds of issues that didn't allow me to experience it the way the developers intended. Those technical issues have been ironed out but I still haven't completed the game's most basic objective: beat the first expedition. This isn't because of any technical or gameplay issues I had. For the times I wanted to play as intended, my colleague Jay Peters stepped in to help me and I had no problem finding party members to tackle expeditions with on my own… I just never really wanted to. And part of the reason why I'm enjoying Nightreign so much is because the game lets me play it in a way that's completely counterintuitive – slowly and alone. Collaborative gaming doesn't always feel good to me. I want to take things at my own pace, and that's hard to do when there's a group of people frustrated with me because they need my help to kill a boss while I'm still delving into a dungeon a mile away. But the ability to solo queue does come with a significant catch – you're not gonna get very far. I died often and to everything from random enemies to bosses. It's not often that I even make it to that first boss fight without dying to the warm-up battles that precede it. This should frustrate me, but I don't care in the slightest. I'm just so pleased that I can go at my own pace to explore more of Elden Ring 's visually gorgeous and narratively sumptuous world. Which brings me to my favorite part: its characters. Nightreign has eight new classes, each with their own unique abilities. The classes can still use every weapon you find (with some locked behind level requirements) so there's an option to tailor a character to fit your playstyle. There are certain kinds of classes I gravitate toward, specifically ranged combat, but for the first time in a class-based game, I love every one of them. It is so much fun shredding enemies to ribbons with the Duchess, using her Restage ability to replay the attacks done to an enemy essentially doubling the damage they receive. I love the Raider's powers of just being a big fuckin' dude, slamming things with big ass great weapons. And true to my ranged combat loving heart, Ironeye's specialty with bows makes it so nice when I wanna kill things without putting myself in danger. Then there's the Guardian. Look at him. He's a giant armored bird-person with the busted wing and the huge-ass halberd and shield. His story involves being a protector who failed his flock and has found a new one in the other Nightfarers. I fell to my knees reading one of his codex entries and seeing how the Recluse, the mage character, helped him with his damaged wing. Every character has a codex that updates with their personal story the more expeditions you attempt. This is the shit I get out of bed for. I thought I was going to hate the concept of Nightreign. I want more E lden Ring: I love that world, so any chance I can have to go back, I'll take but… I just don't like multiplayer games. Describing Nightreign makes it sound like the reason why it exists is because an out of touch CEO looked at the popularity of Elden Ring and at all the money Fortnite prints and went 'Yeah, let's do that.' Even if that's the case, Nightreign has been constructed so that it still appeals to lore freaks like me and I can ignore the less savory bits around multiplayer with relative ease. If I can take a moment and borrow a pair of words from my Gen Z niblings to describe Nightreign it'd be 'aura' and 'aura farming.' Aura is used to describe a person's general coolness or badassery while aura farming is the activities one can engage in to increase one's aura. John Wick has aura. In the first movie, when he performs his monologue about getting back in the assassin business spitting and screaming – that's aura farming. And between the cooperative nature of the game, its rapid-paced combat, and the new characters, abilities, and story, Elden Ring Nightreign has a ton of aura that I'm having a lot of fun farming – just not in the way I expected.
