Eric Mear founded BYLT Basics in 2016.
His vision for the brand was to create premium basics at affordable prices, designed to endure the demands of an active lifestyle. This focus on quality and affordability has been a driving force behind the brand’s success.
BYLT uses custom-blend fabric technologies to offer advanced comfort, quality, and performance in their products. They are known for their high-quality materials, including Pima cotton and bamboo, which provide softness, durability, and breathability.

Advice: Knowing how to wear athleisure for work is all about balance—think tapered joggers with a polo or a sleek hoodie layered under a blazer. Focus on neutral colors and clean lines to keep the look polished and professional.
