Along with water, shelter, and food, exercise is another essential item in my life. I typically spend an hour per day at “the bar” getting my daily dose of exercise induced endorphins. With the spring season, however, comes 5K and 10K road races and my hubby has us lined up for one at the end of the month. I’ll be swapping out the barre clothes for jogging clothes at least twice a week, beginning with this MinkPink tracksuit.

I was immediately attracted to the print as it reminded me of a gorgeous Free People dress. The top is great because it provides enough support for a jog minus the suffocating effect. I am very picky when it comes to sports bras and normally only feel comfortable in the Free To Be bra. The length is slightly longer than a standard sports bra, providing a little bit more coverage (score!). On a brisk day, I plan to wear a mesh shirt, like this, over the bra top for added warmth.

The pants are my favorite 3/4 length leggings, hitting just below the knee. Rock these moisture wicking pants on the running trail, spin class, or at bootcamp. When you’re in between home and the studio, conveniently store your goods in the zip back pocket. I styled this ensemble with black Nike sneakers and an iridescent S’well water bottle (last mentioned here). If you have yet to purchase a pair of trendy sneaks, it is not too late to ride the “athleisure” style bandwagon.

If you have any trendy activewear recommendations, I would love to hear them! A special thanks to Rode’o Boutique for sponsoring this post and to Ava Trimble for capturing the moment.

When it comes to workout pants, I prefer the capri length. For hot-natured folks like myself, full length leggings can become uncomfortably warm. The JOJO Capris hit mid calf (keep in mind I am 5 feet tall), making them a great option for barre class, spin, and everything in between. Versatility in workout attire is key, as it is a superfluous purchase.

If you like your workout pants to fit you like second skin, you’re in luck with Dona Jo fit wear. Not too loose, or too tight, the quick-dry 5-way stretch fabric hugs your curves just right, while the mid rise waist keeps your goods in place. They are just as comfortable as they are attractive and the colorful designs speak for themselves.

I paired these poppin’ pants with the softest black racerback from Lucy. The Workout Racerback is a beloved basic and features a shirt tail hem for added back coverage. I polished off the look with my favorite Nike walking sneakers, aviator sunglasses, and Klean Kanteen water bottle. Is Dona Jo activewear in your future?!

If you didn’t think that color-blocking existed in the activewear space, you would be wrong. Check out the Peace Pant leggings in olive. These full length pants feature multicolored panels keeping things interesting while you work out. Pair them with a black tank and stay cool.

From fitted racerbacks, crop tops, strappy bras, to low-back tees, Onzie has got it all. I am particularly enamored with the Navy Hamsa tank. This pretty little thing features a mosaic print front and low-back design. Pair this piece with a Chic Bra Top and leave everyone in class with strap envy.

 
Who doesn’t love a pair of pants that can go from the studio to the streets with little to no effort?! That is exactly what you will get out of the Bell Pant in Warm Tribal. These 70’s inspired bottoms are stretchy enough for the studio, and groovy enough for a night on the town. Style them with a solid tank, and cover up after class in a leather jacket.
