I went on a tear buying activewear. I felt like everything I had was dated and just worn out. I was also inspired a bit by the softer fabrics in this post to find more soft workout options. I really felt like I was lacking in the activewear top situation. Sharing what I bought and liked; activewear edition.
What I bought and I liked; Activewear Edition
This tee is quite thin, great for layering without adding too much bulk. It doesn’t feel super stretchy but has an almost weightless feel.
First off I love the colour of this top! I would say the sizing is true to size but is more fitted than it looks on the model. If you want a loser relaxed fit size up. There is lots of stretch in this tee and has seaming that gives off a Lululemon vibe.
Unlike the last two tops this one is cotton not polyester or some sort of athleticwear fabric. This is a bit more cropped and boxy. Really you could get away with wearing this tee with regular clothes more easily. This tee feels a bit bulkier but I like the cut.
This is the short sleeve version of the first top. Fit is similar, although I do wish it was slightly longer. If you prefer longer tops go with the purple one above. This is very light though.
I had heard plenty of good things about these socks so I wanted to try. They fit a bit like compression socks which my feet like. I did see in the comments that people felt they fit small. I don’t have large feet so I think they fit great if not a bit big. I didn’t have any problems with the no show heels falling down. I think if you have a foot bigger than a 9 you might have issues or maybe people just don’t like the compression fit? I like these and they are on sale!
When I first tried these on I did two things. I loved the fleecy feel and I immediately put them away for when the weather was cooler. I feel like these are not really summer joggers. They will be great for cool fall days or even early winter. That being said I have worn them on cool mornings the last couple of days. They have a thicker feel than usual joggers. I also sized up since many said they fit small in the comments. The size up was comfortable and a bit roomy without being too big. These are now on sale. I am considering them in another colour.
These joggers really only have one thing in common with the previous pair. They are soft. But even the softness is different. The other pair was a soft fleece inside. This is more of a soft overall fabric. Where the other joggers were thick and structured these are thin and light. Almost a jogger legging hybrid. They show every lump and bump but they are ridiculously comfortable. My full review is here (with dupes)
