Analysis of Research Trends on Athleisure Wear - Focused on Research Published in Korean Journals -

As sales of athleisure wear are expected to continue to increase, this study researched and analyzed trends to develop athleisure wear with improved design and functionality. In order to present basic data for designing a research methodology suitable to trends, this study conducted a literature survey related to athleisure wear published in domestic academic journals. The results are as follows. Papers related to athleisure wear have been consistently published since 2016, when athleisure wear began to emerge in Korea. The research methodology itself has not yet been reflected in a variety of ways, and it has only been published at a general level, so there is a need to expand the research methodology. In particular, the lack of material-related research in athleisure wear, where functional materials play the most important role, can also be cited as a problem. Research in the field of clothing composition for movement suitability and functional design is also limited to leggings and should be expanded to various athleisure wear items. However, due to the characteristic of athleisure wear, research papers are published not only in academic journals in the field of clothing, but also in academic journals in the fields of convergence, science, and sports. It is expected that active research on athleisure wear will continue in the future through a multifaceted and convergent approach.
