The athleisure trend is still alive and well. It’s all too convenient for many to go from the mall, home or office to the yoga studio or gym without changing. Given the resilience of today’s leading athleisure brands (especially those in yoga wear), it’s not hard to view the athleisure industry stocks as timeless and
