CUTE ATHLEISURE OUTFITS TO WEAR ALL DAY
This blog is part of a series from THIS POST I published a couple of weeks ago.
I was just out with my husband for lunch this afternoon, and every women in the restaurant had on an athleisure-type of outfit. It’s more popular than it ever has been and there’s a reason why. Indeed we want easy, versatile, and comfortable…. wouldn’t you agree?
The looks I’m sharing today are definitely worthy of normal everyday life. They’re comfortable, but still feel styled. In my book…. they are sure WINNERS!
I’ve definitely changed the way I work out these days. I’m not quite the gym rat I was even just a year ago! My workouts are different…… a little less intense, and a lot more about moving my body, staying strong, and feeling good. Most mornings that means a walk, some weights, stretching, or a combination of all three.
And because I’m not leaving my workouts completely drenched in sweat anymore, I can actually wear what I went on my walk in earlier that morning. How many of you go from the gym (or walk) straight to the grocery store, post office, and dry cleaners? I do all the time. This way of dressing has for sure made me feel better about myself while I’m out and about.

ATHLEISURE THAT DOESN’T LOOK TOO “GYM”
Athleisure is really all about looking stylish while dressing for an active lifestyle…… and thankfully, there are SO many cute options these days. Joggers with a flattering fit, yes, please! Elevated tees and tanks? I want them all! And not only these, but then add in cropped jackets, lightweight layers, great sneakers, and matching sets too. It absolutely works for real life and whatever your day has in store.

I’ve loved THIS SET below from FREE PEOPLE. Note that my torso is short, so it may hit a little cropped on an average sized woman. But the fabric is so soft and nice, easily worn to walk in or for me, I wear it more every day!

COMFORT IS CLEARLY MY THING
I’ll admint…. I have a slight athleisure problem! I have three ginormous dresser drawers full of joggers, tees, tanks, and workout pieces, plus loads of jackets hanging in my “other” closet. Eeeeeek! I’m certainly not afraid of investing in great athleisure clothing…… I’ve actually still got things from over five years ago or more! What can I say? Clearly I’m a fan of feeling comfy all while looking like I’m put together.
Unquestionably the key for me is choosing pieces that have a little something extra… an interesting silhouette, a great color, a flattering waistline, or a jacket that instantly pulls the whole outfit together.

CHICO’S ZENERGY brings it every time. I’ve obviously loved this line for years, and as you can see below, it’s been a longtime favorite in my closet. I’ve linked very similar looks to the first and third pictures. The middle look in white is still available. The quality is something I’ve always raved about…. comfortable and made to last. Best of all, these are looks you can stay active in and feel fantastic!
FROM YOUR WALK TO THE REST OF YOUR DAY
The good news is, you don’t have to completely change clothes after your workout to look stylish. Add a cute jacket, sunglasses, a great crossbody bag, or even a little jewelry and suddenly those workout clothes feel like an outfit. And if you’re anything like me, at this point in my life, I’m all about clothes that can keep up with my day and help me feel like myself….. exactly what I’m going for!
