A-listers and women on the street alike now don gymwear as everyday garb. But nailing the athleisure trend can be tricky, which is why SPH Magazines’ recent fashion showcase at Paragon was so apt. Stylish looks were curated for five magazines, including Shape. They were displayed in the shopping mall’s atrium from May 24 to June 6.

Three sporty outfits for Shape were pulled together using clothing and accessories from Paragon. There couldn’t have been a better location for the event. Paragon offers a full shopping experience, thanks to its wide array of products and services. Here’s a glimpse of its sports and lifestyle offerings.

1 The North Face (#04-33)

Outdoor enthusiasts, a good jacket is worth investing in. For that special man in your life, consider The North Face Momentum Triclimate, $376. It features two jackets that you can wear either together or individually. The HyVent 2.5L rain shell is waterproof yet breathable, and features a dry-touch coating, while the mid-weight TKA Superstretch fleece liner with four-way stretch works well for aerobic activities. Don both together in cooler temperatures for protection against the elements.
