Top 10 Active Wear Outfits
Fashion & Beauty | October 26, 2014
I don’t know how about you, but I personally don’t like to compromise between comfort and style. As much as I like the look of skinny jeans with high heels, and a tight leather jacket, I don’t like to get out of my comfort zone like this on a casual day. And as much as I’d like to hang out in my old stretched out sweatpants all day, I won’t do it because I wouldn’t feel comfortable inside. One is about a physical comfort and the other is about energy. It’s no different than Feng Shui, You have to feel good inside and out, to be truly comfortable so picking the right outfit for yourself is just as important as creating a cozy home.
The perfect casual outfit for me will always be a comfortable pair of jeans and a tank top, or some cute active wear. I thought that instead of sharing with you my latest active wear outfit (sadly from a few months ago) I’d rather show you what’s in and out there right now, and see if you and I share the same wish list for brand new outfits.
1. Nike – I need this skirt and I need the hoodie. Jesse and I like to go play tennis every now and then, and this outfit would make me want to go even more often.
2. Lululemon – I think this outfit from Lulu rocks. It’s so simple, yet chick and sporty. I’d take the bag too.
3. Forever 21 – I’m quite familiar with this brand, but to be honest, I have actually just came across their active wear, and I like it. The tunic and the pullover hoodie were my two favorite pieces from their collection.
4. Fabletics – A new brand co-founded by Kate Hudson. They have cute, affordable outfits, and they offer an interesting membership plan that gets you a new outfit every month for a discounted price.
5. Lorna Jane – There are a lot more outfits to choose from her new collection, and it was really hard to pick only 4 of my favorites.

I am looking to update my workout gear (specifically, my sports bra) and am hoping for some suggestions. For years I have purchased the bulky, ugly unflattering bras you typically see. But I really want something cute and comfortable that can take the high impact of your workouts. Any suggestions? I love the Lorna Jane bras that you highlighted a few months back. Unfortunately, there are not any Lorna Jane stores in my area (Atlanta GA). I would love to try bras on before I purchase them. What are some other high end brands or stores that you recommend?

I haven’t been shopping for sports clothes for a long time. I’ve got all my latest pieces from Lorna, so I don’t even know what’s out there. What about Lululemon? Don’t they have cute bras?

Hi Nicole,
Nike actually makes the best high impact bras for all sizes (I’m small medium sized and had trouble finding a 32C high impact they tend to make only for larger sizes). Lulu only has the tatatamer for high impact (I don’t find it very cute on me). Other good ones are Victoria Secret Sport and Underarmour (I find underarmour a bit pricey though). Hope that’s helpful. Of course, you’ll have many more cute options from Lululemon or Tatika or many yoga places if high impact for jump rope ect is not your top priority! Happy shopping! 🙂

Thanks, Claire! I am also a 32C so your opinion really suits my situation.
Now that the holiday madness is behind me, I can go shopping for me again 🙂 Off to go bra hunting!

Thanks, Brittany! I often order from their sister companies (Old Navy, Banana Republic). I think I will throw in an item or 2 from Athleta on my next order 🙂

I like Fabletics. They are not so expensive as Lululemon and have really nice outfits. Some of them can be combined with jeans and can be wear to work. Althoug I do not like their bras – I am medium and their bra does not have enough support. I like bras from Nike. Those are the best.

Thanks, Kate! Nike does make some pretty nice sports bras. I will have to check out Fabletics for their cute workout gear. And maybe their bras will be appropriate for yoga workout days.
