What I Want to Workout In – Alo Yoga & More

Aside from being motivated to work out more when wearing cute clothes, new workout gear is actually functional as well. If you workout on the reg and have been wearing the same clothes for a few years, chances are it’s time to toss your old leggings and tank and invest in some new gear. Believe it or not, the fabric in most workout clothes won’t hold up past a year (high quality brands such as Lululemon and Alo hold up for much longer, in my experience) before you notice threads coming loose and hems fraying. Quality doesn’t always equal price, but with workout clothes you get what you pay for. I’ve had Lululemon leggings from 6+ years ago that look better than brands that shall not be named after 6 months. If you’re looking for some stylish new clothes to sweat or lounge in, look no further for inspiration.

I’m wearing this tank, these leggings (highly recommend the high waisted version over the regular!!), and these sneakers.

What I Want: Workout Clothes

+ Nike Zoom Vista Grind

These have been on my wishlist for a while. The neon color is so fun.  They also come in slightly more muted hues if you want something a little more low key. These can be styled to be a little more uptown as well by pairing a biker shorts with a blazer.

+ Tie-dye hoodie

Perfect layering piece for the summer. Wear this to and from the gym, running errands, laying around doing nothing…

+ Alo sports bra

Not the most supportive bras (I would not recommend doing any sort of cardio or HIIT in most Alo bras). But this fabric is so incredibly comfortable.

+ Alo jacket

It’s hard to imagine wearing a black jacket outside right now.  But trust me when I say that in a month or two you will be happy to have one. A zip up is ideal for running around and walking outside.  Plus, you have the added bonus of actually looking cute enough to swing by a coffee or brunch date after your workout.

+ All Access Biker Shorts

I bought a matching set from All Access earlier this year. It’s possibly my favorite fitness purchase of the year to date. The fabric is moisture wicking and cooling, and the waistband on the leggings is so flattering. I’m a recent convert to biker shorts (so late to the trend, I know) – this pair from All Access works on the street and in the gym.

+ Alo lounge pants

I live in lounge pants over the weekend.  I wish I could say I looked put together walking my dog or running errands, but I’m really all about comfort over fashion 90% of the time. These are perfect for travel as well.
