Sweater + Legging Weather is Upon Us! Here are Our Favorites:
Because we've spent more time at home, as of late, athleisure has become more normalized than ever. We're reaching for the cotton joggers instead of the jeans. The flowy sweater instead of the button up blouse. Rather than pulling out our workout clothes, solely to be active in, we're been wearing them nonstop. We don't see any reason to stop this. Now that temperatures are beginning to drop, maybe it's time to splurge on some new pieces.
We all know that there are two different types of comfort clothes. There's the kind that needs to be comfortable in a supportive, I'm about to sweat for 45 minutes on an elliptical, kind of way. Then there's the kind that needs to be comfortable in the I'm working from home, may run a few errands and want to feel relaxed, type of way. Some pieces cross over into both sections. Some are strict one typers. Today, we want to shed some light on some athleisure pieces that we've dubbed as our favorites for both categories, as well as a few all stars that check both boxes.
