Style Love | Athleisure Wear

Before I get into today’s post I want to take a quick moment to wish my sweet and wonderful husband a very happy birthday!! He’s a one-of-a-kind man and I’m so lucky to share life with him!! Without getting too mushy…Happy Happy Birthday to my favorite person in the world! 

* * * * * * * *

I’ve been loving this trend for a while now and anything that pairs comfort and style is a win in my book!! When three of my favorite blogging ladies (Ashley, Amanda & Ashley) posted themselves wearing the trend I decided it was time to dig a little deeper into Athleisure! Don’t believe it’s a word, well you’re right – it’s not! Something that the fashion community came up with to give a broad name to being able to wear clothes that look like they can be worn to the gym, out for a day of errands or even dressed up for a date!


 

I’ve found a couple pieces that I’m borderline obsessed with and looking for the right time to purchase! 




While I’m not sure how exactly I’d pull it off without looking frumpy, this Lou & Grey jacket is at the top of my list and also these joggers. If you’re like me and still not 100% sold, then these Target joggers might be the best starting point!! But how cute are the sequined pants – I mean that’s dressed up right there! 




Is this taking comfort too far? In my opinion, not in the least – I think if styled appropriately it’s a great look! So the question is, would you wear it?

    I love the looks that Ive seen from the blogger friends you mentioned, but like you, I'm just not sure how to pull it off myself without looking frumpy. I love the looks that you pulled together too. Maybe one day we'll figure it out šŸ™‚

    Happy Birthday to your husband! They are the best, right?

    Soooo, I'm still on the fence about jogger pants. There is something mc hammerish about them. I'd have to learn how to style them right. They do look super comfy, though. Love the tunics and cardigans. I mean, athletic wear is my jam!

    I love the look and you selected such great inspiration pieces. I think the key is wearing heels with them so they you don't look frumpy. Makes me wish I could wear them to work… but way too much standing and walking for that. Let's see… where else could I wear them?

    While I like them on others, I absolutely could not pull these off!! lol xo

    YAY for spreading the jogger love!! Gap has some really cute ones that I want to try on too. Athleisure is one trend Iā€™m totally on board with!

    Happy birthday Gary!!! I'm loving the jogger/atheleisure trend now (I wasn't so much before) but I can't find a pair of joggers that look good on me. I tried on those gray Target ones and they definitely didn't look right. Guess I'm back to the hunt!

    Was cute as it is, I don't think I'd be able to pull it off. Blaire on the other hand does beautifully! So cute, can't wait to see your take on it!

    I think if people can pull it off – more power to them! Some looks are definitely cute, while others make me want to tell people to pull up their pants! why is the crotch so low on some of them lol. i would definitely wear them to the gym or at home, but then i have normal sweatpants for that šŸ˜‰ you should definitely try it – that lou & grey jacket is gorgeous! happy birthday to Gary!

    I got some joggers thru a blog promo with puma (yes, puma, haha) and they look sooooo awkward on me! Too long to bunch up without looking like a 5 year old in her mom's clothes haha

    I'm so glad the fashion industry has caught up to me. As a yoga teacher, I've rocked this look for years! And as a SAHM, this stuff is ALL I wear! So yes. Love this look, would love to see more women wear it šŸ™‚

    Fabulous picks, girl! I'm with you – as long as they are high-quality pieces and styled correctly, they definitely can look chic and not sloppy. Also, happy birthday to Gary!

    I absolutely love the jogger pant look! I just got a pair at Old Navy and actually wore them out to dinner last night.. the ones I have are a bit more sweatpant looking so very casual. I want to add a nice looking pair so I can dress them up a bit more!

    I have weird pair of pants that I like to call my "lady trousers". They aren't as casual as some of the dressy sweats, but they're like fitted pajama pants. Haha, I feel a little like a grandma when I wear them, but they are so comfortable.

  38. Shannon Rice
    February 19, 2015 / 3:40 pm

    I love this idea of dressing comfortable, but chic…isn't that what most of us want anyways?! I'll definitely be trying out the whole sweatpants and heels look šŸ™‚

    I thought this look would be great for travel because it looks so comfy but I always struggle with what shoes I would wear because I'm not a heels kinda girl. The flats looks cute with them, though!

    Happy birthday to Gary!

    Not a fan. I think anything that looks like sweatpants or lounge attire with heels looks ridiculous. I'm definitely not a fashionista though.

    Happy Birthday to Gary! This is a big birthday week for you! I'm all for this style! I got a pair of pants that I usually wear just as sweat pants (not dressed up) but they look really similar to the Lord & Taylor pair, so I'm sure if I could figure out how I could maybe dress them up!
