Look Good, Feel Good | Workout Clothes That Will Kick Your Ass Into Gear

My favorite athleisure pieces for both working out and on-the-go.

Look good, feel good. We’ve all heard it before but that’s the thing…sometimes clichés are clichés for a reason. This majorly overused phrase rings true for me, especially when it comes to working out.

I don’t know about you, but the more confident I feel walking into a workout, the harder I work out, and the days I feel “meh”, my workouts tend to reflect that mood too.

I’ve tried a lot (and I do mean a lot) of workout clothes and have found some staples over the past few years. Personally, I also wear my workout clothes around even when I’m not working out—errands, weekends, lounging, etc.. so I like to invest in pieces that I know can handle a lot of wear and items I feel great in.

These sweatpants are such a nice thick material and are really warm. The fabric is not so thick that it’s unflattering though, and that’s so important. Sometimes sweatpants can be a little “too” slouchy for my preference (as far as leaving the house in them goes lol) but these are such a good fit. They hug all the right places.

size : xs

Such a good cropped hoodie! I tend to size up in crops because I like where the smalls hit me vs. the extra smalls. Wearing the hoodie with the matching sweat pants is such a mood lol. Adding a jean jacket to the mix is perfect when I am headed to run errands. I have this set in both basalt and white.

size : small

This is more of a fitted hoodie, but it isn’t skin tight. I’ve worn this a ton while traveling, but it’s also perfect for working out a chilly days.

size : xs

The CloudKnit material is so so soft. Think Lululemon align soft, but with a slight sheen. The fit of these are great and I love pairing it with the matching hoodie. These are definitely flattering on the bum, which is not always the case with joggers.

size : xs

This is my go-to top for workouts, I own 4+ different colors. I definitely could not do without this top. I normally pair it with leggings.

size : xs

This is a slightly cropped, but not too cropped, tee. I normally get an xs in outdoor voices but went with a small so that the crop hit exactly where I wanted it.

size : small

Align leggings meet joggers = perfection. These are AMAZING. I never knew I needed them, but they are so stinking comfortable and flattering. These cinch at the waist the same as the high waisted aligns, and are fitted until about knee height on me.

size : 4

These leggings are THE softest leggings in the world. I wear them a ton, normally with my cloudKnit tee, it’s a uniform lol. I mainly do pilates, barre, etc.. in these. Basically any low impact workout where I’m not ending up drenched in sweat.

 

size : 4

This top is fitted the whole way down so it doesn’t ride up when I workout—which is SO important. Nothing worse than having to adjust your clothes during your entire workout.

 

size : 4

These are the leggings I wear for high impact workouts— they are made with a sweat wicking fabric (you guys know I don’t sweat a ton but I know that’s not the norm). These will feel tight as you pull them up but that’s good, you don’t want them to slide down while working out. Once you have them up the fit is perfect.

 

size : xs

I wear these a ton when I know I’m going to be walking a lot.

A fun take on the dad sneakers. These are so comfortable and are perfect for the athleisure “look”.
