Run into Fall with New Athletic Wear

Fall is a great time to get some new athletic wear for your sweat sessions or if you’re like me, something new to wear for every day! I am one of those moms that love to wear joggers and yoga pants on a pretty regular basis. It’s not that I don’t like to dress up, believe me, I do, but this is my standard day-to-day office apparel aka workout apparel.

Each year I tell myself that I’m going to do a better job of getting dressed up each and every day…and then I look in my closet (and I’m usually freezing) and guess what goes on. However, these days you can buy so much athletic wear that is cute! If you want to be fancy, you can call it “athleisure.

Hoodie and Leggings

The first outfit includes a GapFit hoodie. I know it comes in at least 10 different colors and it’s been around forever. I currently have black, grey, and a light blue color and I have worn them all several times. They are longer too, which I like because I always always wear this hoodie with workout pants or leggings. It is also the perfect, lightweight hoodie to wear on cool mornings if you are on vacation walking on the beach. Doesn’t that sound heavenly! It has the moisture wicking technology and is made out of jersey knit, so it’s super comfortable. It has thumb holes as well, if you wear it on a brisk morning run.

The leggings are from Nike. I like these classic 3/4 running crop leggings, but if you like them longer, they also have a full length version. They aren’t too tight (I hate it when they are super tight). I know Nike will always be a good fit.

The tennis shoes I am wearing are Tommy Hilfiger. They aren’t for working out, but rather a casual style to wear when you are running errands or picking up kids from school. They are super comfortable and almost five stars.

Define Jacket and Leggings

This look is another basic grey and black look. I went for simple here. My Define jacket from Lululemon was an investment. However, it was the first piece that got me interested in the brand. I never wanted to spend this kind of money on athletic wear, but I wear this all the time! It goes with me when I travel, when I run, to the lake, with jeans, with sweats — you get the picture. It’s worth the investment! I’ve tried other knock offs, but I have yet to find one that lives up to this style. It’s pretty fitted so you will want to size up. I love the thumb holes and the back of the jacket is actually what sold me. Oddly, I saw it in an action movie (I can’t remember the name), but she was an FBI agent and she always wore this jacket. I bought it the following week!

The grey shirt underneath is another GapFit athletic wear top. It’s a long sleeve with thumb holes (no hood on this one). It’s perfect for cooler mornings. It comes in several colors.

Everything I’m wearing, I’ve worn at least over a dozen times. You know you are getting your money’s worth when you find a piece that you wear time and time again. This is a mix of black and grey, which is super easy to pack and match with anything! You can add a fun pink or yellow top underneath if you want to get crazy and add some color.
