Mason’s Women’s Athleisure: beyond sportswear, through jersey and new proportions
Athleisure no longer means sportswear alone. Today it describes a wardrobe in which flexible materials, softer constructions and coordinated garments enter everyday life through very different shapes. In the Mason’s Women’s Athleisure Autumn Winter 2026 collection, this evolution involves the entire silhouette: coats, jackets, sweatshirts and pants connect through jersey, knitwear, wool and different proportions.
This is precisely the interesting point: Mason’s Athleisure does not identify a single garment or one specific fit. The collection moves from carrot and relaxed volumes to straight and wide-leg lines, while the upper part of the wardrobe is built through outerwear and sweatshirts that share the same exploration of materials and freedom of movement. More than a sportswear category, it therefore becomes a way of designing the everyday wardrobe as a system.
Athleisure does not mean joggers
This is probably the first misconception to overcome. Joggers remain important in an athleisure wardrobe, but they do not represent the category on their own. In the Mason’s collection, carrot, relaxed, straight and wide-leg pants coexist. The New York O Shape and New York Carrot work with carrot fit; the Easy Jogger, Chile Jogger and New York Cozy introduce relaxed proportions; the Easy Straight and New York Studio Elax instead maintain a straight line, while the New York Wide Elax takes jersey into a wide-leg construction.
The result is that athleisure does not change just one type of pants: it changes the way very different fits are experienced. Comfort therefore does not come from a standard shape, but from the relationship between construction and material.
Jersey is more than just a comfortable fabric
Jersey plays different roles throughout the collection. It can look like flannel, become knit-effect jersey or work with more compact surfaces, but above all its behavior changes depending on the garment it is used on. On the New York O Shape, it accompanies a carrot construction; on the New York Studio Elax, it follows a straight line; on the New York Wide Elax, it instead supports a wide leg. The same logic continues into the upper part of the wardrobe, where jersey and knitwear are used for outerwear, jackets and sweatshirts.
This is where jersey becomes interesting: it does not erase shape, but interprets it differently.
An athleisure suit is not a tracksuit
Another strong element of the collection is the presence of numerous garments designed as coordinated looks. Mason’s Athleisure is also designed through matching fabrics and colors, creating complete looks that do not imitate sports tracksuits but work with different proportions.
Outerwear can be paired with carrot, straight or wide-leg pants, meaning the same material can produce very different silhouettes. This ability to build a complete look without relying on the classic blazer-and-pants formula is what makes athleisure an independent category.
Outerwear is also part of the athleisure language
The collection does not stop at the lower half of the look. Rosie, Leonie, Odette and City Field show how the same idea can be transferred to coats and jackets, moving from jersey to wool and bouclé. The Hoodie instead brings knit-effect jersey into a construction closer to a sweatshirt.
This greatly expands the meaning of the line: not a group of comfortable pants with a few matching pieces, but a wardrobe in which material creates continuity between top and bottom.
Athleisure and sportswear are not the same thing
Sportswear is built around athletic function. Athleisure instead takes some principles from that world — mobility, stretch and more adaptable materials — and applies them to garments designed for everyday life. In Mason’s case, this difference is especially clear because the collection includes coats, jackets, chinos, cargo pants and wide-leg pants: categories that do not necessarily belong to sportswear, but can be reinterpreted through more flexible materials and constructions.
Athleisure therefore becomes less about sporty aesthetics and more about how a garment moves, drapes and works with the other elements of the wardrobe.
A collection built around proportions
The real richness of the Mason’s Women’s Athleisure Autumn Winter 2026 collection lies in the variety of proportions. Carrot, relaxed, straight and wide leg coexist within the same line, while outerwear and sweatshirts allow the look above the pants to be built with the same material language.
There is therefore no single athleisure silhouette. Instead, there is a different way of thinking about the everyday wardrobe: less tied to traditional categories and more focused on the relationship between fabric, volume and movement.
