Workout Clothes You’ll Actually Want To Be Seen In

ABOUT

Just because you’re working out doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fashion for function… and with clothes from Athleta now you don’t have to.  With everything from active wear to jackets and dresses to sweaters to shoes you can sweat it out and look uber-cute while staying uber-comfortable. Athleta is a little more “fashion” than Lululemon and holds to the same principle of creating stylish sportswear.

AMBIENCE

University Village is one of my favorite places in Seattle. It’s a beautiful outdoor mall with lots of lovely landscaping, charming  outdoor dining and seating areas and tons of fabulous shops. Althleta has moved in to University Village right next door to the H&M, and they have created an outdoor and activewear wonderland. Gap Inc owns the sportswear company and this is the first location in the northwest. 

EXPERIENCE

The store is really beautiful and reminds me of a more rustic Lululemon. There are weathered wood accents, plank wood floors and burnished metal light fixtures. You’ll find performance tops, shorts and jackets perfect for running and yoga near the front of the store. All the sportswear features really pretty feminine details and patterns plus, they have lots of great colors to choose from. You can also choose from an array of yoga pants, bathing suits and underwear.

The back of the store houses the”Adventure Travel” line which includes really cute tissue tees for layering,  pants, knit dresses, cashmere sweaters, down jackets and clothes that look more Nordstroms than the gym. This stuff is perfect for active Seattle women (and especially busy Moms) who need functional clothing but still want to look stylish. I love the infinity and  lightweight printed scarves.

The new Athleta store is also offering complimentary classes like crossfit, yoga and running clubs!

WALLET WATCH 

Athleta sportswear prices are comparable to Lululemon with some items being a little easier on the wallet. Tanks run about $50, yoga pants range from $65-$90 while jackets range from $70 – $130. The clothing price range between $50 and $150.
