No matter how you stay active, your body type or size – you absolutely deserve athletic wear that is stylish, comfortable and versatile for every day activities. Athleta has introduced their most inclusive style and size range and you are going to love the options as we jump into a new season of activities!
Athleta For All – Active In Style
When I started my wellness journey I bought a good amount of clothing that I would have considered “workout gear”. That workout gear has served me well but as I continued on that wellness journey it became clear that my “workout gear” drawer needed some updates. As spring starts to show it’s face around here, I am itching to add those hikes and walks back into my wellness routine. And with a new season comes a perfect time for me to update that drawer with some versatile items I know I will use.
I have to be honest, even though I am doing really well with adding activity and healthier food choices to my daily routines, I am not at the level I was hoping but I am taking one day at a time and finding that grace that we all should be giving ourselves. Some of my favorite ways of staying active is by going to Reformer Pilates, going for hikes and taking walks. I want something to wear to these activities that have me feeling confident in comfort and in style all while being able to move my body like I need too.
When I first heard that Athleta expanded their sizes to include sizes 1x-3x, I knew I had to check them out. I have always loved the styles that I saw with Athleta, but the sizes just never matched what I needed. There is no doubt that the Athleta style looks great and the quality of the items are super high which is what every BODY deserves!
Never Believed That One Size Fits All
One Size Fits All…don’t you hate that? It doesn’t matter what size you are, that phrase is terrible because it just isn’t possible. Athleta took on the challenge that every BODY should be thankful for. Creating a size inclusive line of clothing. And to be clear, Athleta didn’t just add extra fabric to the sizes and call it a day…nope. They worked directly with active women who wear sizes 1X-3X to refit and test each piece to get the fit and performance right for all women. Across their amazing assortment, each piece retains the same design intent and fit, from size XXS – 3X or 00-26!! AND these styles are available online and in-stores, not tucked away in the back corner, but all together, like they should be.
I am super excited to share the items that I have bought from Athleta. First of all, let me be clear, these items might be my first Athleta items but I know they won’t be the last. I picked up the Ultimate Stash Pocket Printed 7/8 Tight in the Fluidity Medieval Violet. I loved the color and thought the fun pattern would finally mix up my normal black bottoms.
My first thoughts…SO SOFT…but still had enough support for a casual walk or a cardio class at Pilates. In addition to the two stash pockets on the legs there is also one back waistband pocket. The fabric pulls sweat away from the body to the surface of the fabric so it can evaporate and dries quickly so you stay comfortable even while breaking a sweat. The UPF 50+ rating is a must here in Colorado for that extra protection from the sun.
Follow the size guidelines – my fit like a glove and have quickly become my favorite leggings to wear for my workouts.
Tops From Size XXS – 3X or 00-26
I don’t know why but I always buy more bottoms than tops but when I saw this fun Athleta Ultimate Train Tank I knew it would work perfectly for my upcoming hikes and Pilates classes. I LOVE the back of this tank. I feel great in it! Just like the leggings, this top is so soft and comfortable. It is also has the wicking feature of keeping sweat from your body so you stay nice and comfortable during your workout. And once again the added UPF 30+ is a always a great feature when heading outside for your daily workout.
