Athleisure has gradually made its way into my wardrobe. I tend to prefer to get fully dressed most workdays — i.e., skirt/blouse/jeans/dress/shoes/accessories — because it puts me in a solid headspace to greet and power through my day, but there are pockets of time and occasions where athleisure has become a welcome alternative of more formal dressing. I’m thinking specifically of slow Saturdays bathing the dog and handling chores around the house, or downtime before/after a formal event, or running out for coffee, or morning drop-off. One styling approach that has helped me feel pulled together even when in leggings is going monochromatic or tonal, i.e., wearing a similarly hued sweatshirt and leggings. Below, a few favorite moments in the athleisure category…

EYELET SWEATSHIRT WITH 327S
RIBBED BUTTON-UP COTTON SWEATSHIRT — COORDINATE WITH MY FAVORITE $25 LEGGINGS (COMES IN TONS OF GREAT COLORS) OR LULULEMON ALIGNS AND APLS IN A SIMILAR COLOR
LOVE THIS $30 MEN’S SWEATSHIRT IN MOODY BLUE — WEAR OVERSIZED OVER LEGGINGS WITH STATEMENT SNEAKS
THIS PALE MOCHA COLOR SWEATSHIRT WITH MATCHING JOGGERS STRIKES ME AS VERY SOPHISTICATED, ESPECIALLY WITH BETH SNEAKERS
