WHAT TO WEAR: Workout

Ah, finally! The time of year has arrived that we all look forward to. Barbecue smell is in the air, pools are opening and the sun is shining as the outside world becomes our lifestyle. This season is the perfect time to take advantage of the nice weather and finalize that beach body.

Check out this week’s Fashionista. She is here to show you how working out can be done in style. She is wearing typical workout attire: an athletic tank top and shorts. However, a color theme and accessories have played up her simple look.

The outfit’s prominent color, pink, radiates through various pieces. It is seen in her Old Navy floral tank top, Dick’s Sporting Goods headband and Nike sneakers. The background colors of black and gray give the pink an extra kick. Using neutral colors to compliment a bright one is a fashionable strategy.

Another tactic this outfit implements is accessorizing simplicity. Feminizing an athletic outfit can be a problem, but accessories are the solution. Samantha is wearing a lively headband, an inspirational bracelet and a stylish watch. Headbands are perfect for workouts. In addition to keeping unwanted hair from the face, they are an opportunity to display personal style. Watches and bracelets are also nice for completing a sporty ensemble. This Fashionista is wearing a bracelet that is stylish yet meaningful to her. It motivates her to push through her workouts while making her look great.

One Simple Change: Want to have a girl’s night out after your workout? You earned it. Just swap the shorts for yoga pants, add a handbag and you’re set! What better time of the year to go out with the girls for some froyo and gossip.
