Athleisure – Skirt The Rules | NYC Style Blogger http://skirttherulesblog.com NYC Style Blogger Wed, 31 Mar 2021 03:24:27 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 A Maternity Friendly Athleisure Outfit http://skirttherulesblog.com/2021/04/02/a-maternity-friendly-athleisure-outfit/ http://skirttherulesblog.com/2021/04/02/a-maternity-friendly-athleisure-outfit/#respond Fri, 02 Apr 2021 11:00:00 +0000 http://skirttherulesblog.com/?p=20596

On Fridays (plus Saturdays through Thursdays), we wear athleisure.

Dark wash denim jacket (XS) / Beige long sleeve top with thumbholes (S) / Black maternity workout leggings (S – here are my favorite non-maternity leggings) / Brown tote bag with zipper / Veja V-10 sneakers (normally a 6.5, wearing a 36) / Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in ‘Pillow Talk’

I picked up this long sleeve top from Target’s in-house athleisure line earlier this spring – it’s non-maternity, but I sized up from an XS to S to accommodate the bump. I love it because it’s lightweight, super soft and has thumbholes, which for some reason make me feel instantly cool and sporty. It’s great if you’re warming up for a work out, running errands on a breezy spring day, or really just lounging around the house which is what you’ll most likely find me doing these days!

Maternity leggings are so comfy, I might just never go back.

Gray zip up hoodie with thumbholes (only $24 – normally an XS, sized up to S for the bump) / Black sports bra ($22 for a pack of 3 – normally an XS, sized up to M) / Black maternity workout leggings ($20 – S) / White leather sneakers (6.5 TTS) / Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in ‘Pillow Talk’

I haven’t purchased many maternity-specific clothes during my pregnancy, but a good pair of everyday leggings and workout leggings is a must. So far, these fleece-lined maternity leggings have been my favorite for NYC’s cold winter weather. Since I’m trying to stay active during the rest of my pregnancy (which didn’t happen during my first semester), I figured bump-friendly fitness gear is a must!

I snagged a couple of pairs from Amazon, and this affordable pair of maternity workout leggings happen to be my favorite – so much so that I now own them in black, gray and purple! They are SO comfortable and stretchy, and while there’s a bit of extra fabric around my joints, I like that it will continue to accommodate my rapidly growing belly.

Bonus points that it has side pockets – they kind of remind me of my favorite pre-pregnancy workout leggings, minus the compression. I’ve worn them for spinning at home on my stationary bike, yoga and muscle strengthening exercises – and while they’re probably not meant to endure high impact movements, chances are that I won’t be going that HAM during pregnancy anyway!

Don’t judge me if all I wear is athleisure and loungewear from now through March.

White Funnel Neck Tunic with Thumbholes (XS – I would size up if you prefer looser sleeves) / Chloe Mini Marcie Crossbody Bag / Black Leggings (XS) / Keds Champion Leather Sneakers (6.5 TTS) / Maybelline Lip Crayon in ‘Lead the Way’

When I saw this funnel neck sweatshirt hanging on the rack at Target, I knew I had to have it! I feel like funnel necks are kind of having a moment – at least in the world of athleisure – because I’ve been seeing them pop up everywhere. And I’m loving the more open take on turtlenecks!

This top especially makes for an easy, but stylish athleisure outfit because of the ribbed detail, the side zippers and the thumbholes. My only regret? Not getting it in gray and black!
