Working Out In Style

My fitness fashion wish list

Working Out In Style

On May 21st, SELF Magazine brought Workout in the Park to Chicago and I met with "Days of Our Lives" soap star and "The Biggest Loser" host Alison Sweeney. We chatted about her love of denim and flip flops - the ultimate California girl, as well as her disdain for muffin tops and ill fitting clothes. She loves a great DVF wrap dress, just as much as hitting her local boutique for garments that are budget friendly. As spunky in person as she is on the NBC hit diet challenge show, there is no doubt they picked the right workout buddy to encourage hundreds of Chicago ladies to get their dance-on during a rainy day in Grant Park.

Her fashion-fit fusion? Ali stresses how important it is for her to wear arm-bearing slim fitting tops so that you can actually see your form and admire your progress in the gym mirror. Steer clear of the baggy t-shirts that don't breathe, so opt for a cool blue cami and flared crop pant like her from Lucy.
 
What motivates me to get to the gym? Clearly a well thought out weight training look gets me going every time. I've selected some of my favorite options from local designers and shops that take you from the mats to martinis in one swift move or keep you on trend while on the treadmill! Workout then wear it out. Enjoy!

 

Multi-Functional Fashion
This great striped tank isn’t called Push Ur Limits for nothing. Get a great workout in a fun and flattering top and leggings with flair from lululemon. No one would guess you just worked out! Give them a stylish shoulder with this great jacket with oversized hood for extra flair!

Beat the Heat Fashion
Summer sizzle is here!  Stay cool and fashionable with my picks for workout wear for exercising during summer’s hottest months with this super stylish bra and ruffle legging. Need to make a stop? Add this great jacket with ruching down the center that will make you look and feel thinner than before your workout! Plus I love the hidden compartment of this gym bag so you can change out of your hot gym shoes and cool off in your sandals!

Toned Up Trends
Who says you can’t pretend your treadmill is your runway? Translating summer’s hottest trend—colorblocking, into your gym wardrobe courtesy of Garmental! We love sweatin’ in style and thanks to Anna Hovet we can do both! We love using the skirt as a top-there’s a drawstring in back. Put it all together with the reversible hoodie vest and ultra-light leggings.
