Wardrobe Wednesday | Workout Wear Beyond the Gym
Lots of my friends run around in yoga pants or workout clothes, but I just felt like I wanted to be in “real clothes” outside the gym. Now that I’ve invested in some better quality workout wear and have seen the styles that go “beyond the gym”, I’m rethinking my former position.
I think it started with my Zella Move pants (they have capri too). They are those pants you can workout in, but also find yourself reaching for on the weekend because they are so dang comfy and easy to run errands or lounge around the house in. Also, I find myself sometimes going straight from the gym to the grocery store or wherever else I need to be, so I want to have some gym clothes that do double duty. So, whether you’re actually working out and then running errands or just want to be cute and comfy sans workout, lots of athletic brands give you that option.
For example, this outfit I put together includes a Zella athletic top, but it could easily work for the weekend, right?

Meet Megan
Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
Love all of these! I am obsessed with those boots!!!
I'm a huge fan of wearing my leggings everywhere; to the gym, to class, under a tunic dress and with boots out on a dinner date, etc. You've definitely inspired me to get some new options though, I'm loving those comfy tops!

I used to feel just like you- keep gym clothes at the gym. When I began staying home with my kids, however, I changed my tune. Workout clothes are so comfy and often perfect for running around doing "mom" stuff- carpool, errands, soccer games, etc. I do think it helps to have a stash of cute workout clothes for these occasions, and I am in love with Zella right now. I actually just posted about my favorite running gear today, and the Zella Live In Leggings made the list. They're so great that I often wear them all day 🙂
I like the aqua top (second pic)!The color is so pretty!!!
I have the Zella booty pants and love them! Also, I love the live in leggings from zella! Clearly I need one of their dolman tops for throwing on over a tank though after leaving the gym 🙂
Love the styling on the first outfit! I just bought a sweater from Nordstrom yesterday in the same color. As for gym clothes and even shoes, the line is definitely blurring between the gym and outside of the gym. That being said, I guess I don't like the idea of people not showering and walking around in their gym clothes, kind of gross, lol. The only other thing I don't like is when women wear gym clothes/leggings/bottoms that reveal too much meaning you can see the entire outline of the hips, legs and privates with their workout clothes "outside the gym". I don't mind leggings as long as there is a longer tunic. I wear yoga pants at home since I am pretty physical lifting my son and while I have worn them outside of my house (never wore them in a gym, lol), I prefer to wear something else when running errands. Most of the time I just wear a straight leg denim jegging in different neutrals. In terms of the bottoms above, I like the look of the wider bottoms that you showed above. The cuffed ones look like boys pajamas and the leggings look a little too revealing.
love all the outfit, comfty an d nice at the same time!!!
