Let's be honest, workout pants are always flattering. Sometimes the high waisted jeans or "going out" leggings can make us a little picky about our bodies. But throw on those lululemons and suddenly your butt looks perkier, the leg definition from Pilates seems to finally be visible, and you feel toned rather than tucked in. It's a weird but awesome effect.
This is not a suggestion to start throwing out those leather leggings and slim fit skinny jeans - they're still the major essential go-to's even when they make for not so desirable situations on a night out! But dressing up activewear can be fun for certain occasions. For example, spontaneous trips to the local dive bar, going out after a sports game, and quick weekend errands where you know you'll run into someone on the one day you felt like going makeup free. The key is to take the flattering aspects from your favorite lounge wear and mix that with some casual accessories. Be effortless and keep it a secret that those trendy pants are actually an Athleta purchase. Here are a few inspirations for the look:
Kate Beckinsale made sweatpants look timeless last year by pairing her slouchy white pants with matching heels and a chic, neatly styled ponytail.
Atelier Versace and Adidas - who knew?! After an elegant night at the Met, Gigi Hadid switched into a see through dress and sneakers for an after party. Might seem like an odd pairing but the sneakers do distract from the exposing style of the dress. Opting for Adidas rather than heals plays down the shock factor and gives a nod to downtown flair.
Stating the obvious, Rihanna has a super hot body. And this goes to show she can show it off without a sultry look. Or a deliberate sultry look. Even in her Manolos and sweats, Ri still oozes perfection.
