Initially panned as nothing more than a fleeting trend, fashionable sweats (or athleisure, for those of you who like a good portmanteau) have proven their staying power over the past few seasons. But unlike lots of other things we now accept as standard office-wear, we’re still not quite at the point at which wearing sweatpants to work falls under business casual.

But the good news is that the right crewneck sweatshirt is probably well within the guidelines of your office dress code. It’s a stylish piece that you can dress up (they look great under a slim-cut suit) or down (with dark, slim denim) that will keep you comfortable all day as you channel your inner in between meetings.

Due to now ubiquitous nature of the athleisure look, there are great options at whatever price point you’re comfortable paying. Below, eight of our favorites.

Batman v. Superman: The Style Battle by William Goodman

Batman and Superman are two of the world’s most recognizable superheroes, legendary icons whose stories across comics, television, and the silver screen have inspired and captivated millions since their introductions in the late 1930s. And while these two heroes are known pretty much universally, we’d venture a guess that people know a bit less about the men behind them: Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne.

Before the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel meet together for the first time on the silver screen this Friday in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we’re going back in time and taking a look at the off-duty stylings of Christopher Reeve’s Clark Kent and Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne. In the spirit of the movie itself, we’ve pitted the two against one another across five menswear categories: three-piece suits, knitwear, formalwear, jackets, and outerwear. And if you don’t trust us, we tapped menswear designer David Hart and wardrobe stylist Brooke Llewellyn to offer up their opinions.

Who will come away with the win: the billionaire playboy and philanthropist? Or the mild-mannered reporter?

Sean Connery slept in his suits while filming for Dr. No. Yes, you read that right, he slept in his suits.

Over the course of 23 films, 007 and the actors that portrayed him were style influencers long before platforms like Twitter and Tumblr existed, inspiring men (both real and fictional) around the globe with immaculate tailoring, envy-worthy coats, and sharp details that tie the whole package together.

With the newest film, Spectre, set to release on November 6, Bond style will once be at the forefront of popular culture. Straight from MI6’s style department, here’s the intelligence you’ll need to recreate seven of James Bond’s most iconic looks. (P.S. We've thrown a few budget-conscious versions in for you because we don't all have an MI6 budget.)
