Some activewear does look amazing outside of sports -- if it is especially well-designed, visually as well as functionally; and if it is well-matched to the wearer's coloring, physique and personality. Here are some examples:
Why: This hat is in colors that most men can wear, won't overwhelm features, and would coordinate well with other clothes.
Item: Patagonia Men's Lambswool Crew in Pale Khaki
Why: Lambswool/nylon with outdoors-friendly construction, aka lower shoulder seams. This would look good on most men who have cool (not warm) coloring, either light or dark.
Item: Levi's 511 Slim Fit Commuter Jeans
Why: Semi-activewear for commuting via bike. These have stretch, a double-layered seat and reflective details; and still look great, especially not cuffed.
Item: Adidas Pro Stretch Chino Pants - Craft Canvas
Why: These pants stretch, which is really comfortable but still looks slim & sharp. A versatile color going into spring, would look great on men with warmer coloring or red hair.
Item: Oakley Prime P.E. Jacket -- Jet Black
Why: Technical fabric, sealed against rain, vented, adjustable, pockets, handsome asymmetrical design. Just futuristic enough. Cropped/shorter fit, so wear with dark pants, and this is for men of up to average height.
Item: Burton 2L Stagger Snowboard Jacket - Walter Camo
Why: Camo patterns are usually unflattering, but this jacket is an exception. The evergreen colors and subtle, low-contrast pattern would look good on many men, and mix well with other clothes.
Item: Adidas Super Trekking Light Down Jacket
Why: Cool design, textural contrast, 700 fill power goose down.
