About Die Hard 

Die Hard , the second most popular Christmas movie sweater is worn by Karl Vreski, portrayed by Alexander Godunov, in Die Hard. Karl is the main antagonist’s right-hand man and the only character not killed by John McClane (Bruce Willis) in the movie. The Christmas sweater in question is a grey knitted number with ‘Now I Have a Machine Gun – HO HO HO’ written on the front, paired with a Santa hat.     

Searches for ‘Die Hard Christmas sweater’ receive 3,200 searches per month, on average in the USA. Many speculate whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie due to its action/thriller genre, which caused the writer to note that the film is set at a Christmas party during the holidays and features many Christmas songs, meaning it is a Christmas film.   

 Home Alone

The 1990 classic Home Alone places third in the rankings, which features a young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidentally left alone at Christmas time and faced with scaring off two burglars from breaking into his house. During the film, Kevin looks cozy in a few different winter knits, but the most iconic is the heathered red knit that surprisingly can hold his entire weight when he is hung on a coat hook. Despite the red knit not being the craziest of prints, it hasn’t stopped film fans from wanting to get their hands on a Home-Alone themed sweater for themselves.  Searches for ‘Home Alone Christmas sweater’ average 2,000 searches per month in the US.

The Gremlins

Fourth place in the rankings goes to Gremlins, released in 1984 and follows the shenanigans and destruction forced upon the small town of Kingston Falls, by a horde of mischievous monsters.

Work Athleisure Fashion Trends are Here to Stay

Athleisure continues to dominate summer shopping trends as one of the most popular styles. Comfortable clothing is here to stay. A new report shows 85% of Americans wear athleisure regularly and nearly 30% wear it to work in the office.

Read The Rise of Athleisure for more information on how much Americans spend and how often they replace shoes, clothing, and more.

Sweats and leggings used to be reserved for relaxing or working out but that is not the case anymore. Now, Athleisure is the wardrobe of choice due to the pandemic and Americans are not looking back. It is a closet staple and daily wear even when people are not planning to exercise.

On average, Americans have spent $277 in the last 12 months on Athleisure. One out of ten admitted to having dropped $500 or more.

  • 70% of Work From Home (WFH) employees wear athleisure, 29% who work in an office do the same.
  • Top reasons why people love athleisure: comfort, versatility, look.
  • 56% of people have at least one pair of athletic shoes they do not use for exercise.

This report dives into sustainability – nearly 70% do not know they can recycle athletic shoes or how social media impacts athleisure purchasing.

Take a look at the full report .

Just the Facts

Many Americans keep their shoes until they can barely function as a shoe. Nearly 3 out of 10 people said they replace their athletic shoes whenever holes form. About 2 out of 5 replace their shoes every year.

 Nearly 70% of Americans do not know athletic shoes can be recycled. During the study, 2 out of 5 people admitted to throwing their shoes in the garbage when getting rid of them. Only 3 out of 10 people donate them, and just 12% said they recycle their shoes.

While many hadn’t thought of athleisure and sustainability, 60% said footwear and clothing sustainability in general is important to them.

In 2022, Methodology + Media surveyed 1,116 Americans about their opinions on athleisure. Respondents were 48% male, 50% female, and 2% non-binary or transgender. The average age of all respondents was 37 years old.
