According to global shopping platform Lyst, searches for sweatpants have had a significant spike since mid-March and have continued skyrocketing 104 per cent each month since. It comes as no surprise then that everyone from Beyoncé and Stella Maxwell to Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid have been seen wearing the athleisure style.
