With an eye toward fitness and fashion on the rise, it only makes sense that garment offerings for the gym are reaching far behind that category, with a new found versatility that works even when you keep your clothes the same but trade in your trainers for a pair of open-toe booties. I zeroed in on the amazing pants from Athleta, showcasing two different pairs that you can wear per look, and showing how to translate them behind the confines of the gym.
Not only are the pants an incredible fit and my personal favorite, but thanks to hi-tech and hi-quality fabrics, they blend right in for a bunch of occasions, given the perfect top, footwear, and jewels. See below for my top picks, with pants from Athleta that range in hue from grey charcoal to blue denim, creamy white, and even printed, and function from lifestyle and adventure travel to running, the gym/training, and yoga.’

Honestly , I couldn’t take wearing my winter puffer one more day! The alternative? A heavy duty layering effect instead, comprised of puffy vest, denim moto jacket, hoodie, and a long sleeve shirt. At least the sun was shining, which was definitely helpful in ditching my coat for the day; I am still truly looking forward to the day when this season is over, and I celebrate by dry cleaning and storing my heavy winter coat,which has gotten more play this season than ever!
Are you enthusiastically looking forward to the end of the winter season too?
