Fashion Friday // Everywhere Active Wear
Workout wear is getting so fashion forward that is pretty difficult to coax me out of my leggings and into a pair of real pants these days! Luckily, I have found that with a little smart styling and a healthy dose of confidence you can meet almost any dress code in your stretchy pants!
I recently had the pleasure of modeling Vie Active‘s contemporary gym-to-street line for Carbon38. We styled the pieces for a wide range of active gal activities – from workouts to coffee meetings to Sunday brunches. Here are a few essential tips for getting the most out of your active wear.
Keep it simple – I love loud workout wear as much as the next gal. But, when you are putting together an outfit for play and work it is best to stick with basic colors like shades of blue and grey. Avoid outrageous neons and choose toned-down patterns to fit into any environment. Vie’s Flight Blue Feather pattern is the perfect example of this — playful, yet still muted and elegant. Use your instincts here. If you are in doubt, basics are always best.
Keep it Clean – I know this seems obvious, but it is so important to mention — your wore-in, tattered gym uniform only belongs in the gym. We all have those favorite, super-comfortable sports bras that we love working out in and that’s fine; but this everywhere active wear look only works with crisp, clean pieces. I love Vie’s slouchy Jogger Pants so much for everyday wear that they may never see the gym. I also like to invest in some cute kicks for day-to-day wear only.

Keep it up – There is only one hard and fast requirement to being a fashion rule-breaker and that is confidence! Breaking fashion rules is fun and creative (and in this case comfortable). Have a blast, hold your head high and keep a spring in your step. You are bound to get noticed in your cool-casual look so make sure you have a smile on your face.
