Being back on campus for another semester after a relaxing winter break is always hard to get used to, and the cold weather doesn’t make it any easier. My solution to dressing for those first few lazy days back on campus is simple: athleisure. Time to break out your comfortable workout leggings and lace up your sneakers, but instead of hitting the gym, hit the books. Exercise clothing is a super easy way to make you look like you have your life together because, hey, you could be going to the gym right after class. Nobody has to know if you’re really on your couch binge-watching Netflix.
This Fashionista’s athleisure look caught my eye because of the oversized chunky sweater she threw over her workout tank. It’s so easy to take a basic workout outfit and make it weather-appropriate and wearable for everyday by simply adding a sweater or cute jacket, and this Fashionista illustrates that perfectly. The sweater slouches off one shoulder, still keeping her warm but also adding a casual vibe to the look and showing off a bit of her Nike tank top. Subtle details were also mixed into this look with a pair of weave-patterned workout leggings. The design on the back takes this simple pair of leggings up a notch and really adds to the style behind this look. Being as this is an athleisure outfit, this Fashionista kept jewelry minimal with a simple black pendant choker, proving that chokers are back in style for all occasions, even exercise. Her favorite running sneakers by Under Armour ensure that she’ll be able to walk around Delaware’s beautiful campus all day and still remain comfortable.
So if you’re feeling a little chilly and lazy as you head back to campus for the rest of the winter, take my advice and jump on the athleisure trend. I promise you’ll look cute, put-together, and remain warm and cozy all day. Who knows, it might even motivate you to hit the gym after class.
