I was looking for meaning of some fashion terms and was unable to find many terms all at one place.The information on the internet was very limited so I thought of documenting all the possible terms I can find which will be useful to all fashion enthusiast,students,professional as well as layman. So here are all possible terms I could find with the letter "A". I will be dedicating a blog for this project. If anyone feels I have missed any plz fell free to comment I shall be adding the same. This is just to help everyone and make things all at one place.
The blog I am exclusively working to document all the terms is

Anorak:
Pull-over jacket usually with hoot.Front neck opening may be closed with zipper or snaps.
Athleisure
A portmanteau of the words “athletic” and “leisure” make the most popular fashion trend that has been doing the rounds on the streets. Think yoga pants, grey sweatpants, sports bra, hooded sweatshirts, tank tops and lightweight trainers, this style is becoming bigger than a trend because it offers fashion fused with comfort an functionality. Models like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner are the torch bearers of this buzzing trend. Luxe designs like Yeezy by Kanye West to the recent collaboration of PUMA with STAMPD, are jumping the bandwagon to make this trend a fashionable bash!
