Activewear is Not the Answer to Dressing Comfortably !

The omnipresence of athleisure wear truly shows that women have given up on figuring out what to wear.
As a personal stylist, I believe this means the death of self-expression. ​Everywhere I look everyone looks like everyone else!

The clothing you choose to wear is a form of personal self-expression.  How you dress allows you to send people a message of who you are. ​Choosing to wear workout wear daily is one form of self-expression. But it says nothing about you other than that you might go to the gym sometime today.

I talk to women every single day about their clothing choices. ​Most of them tell me they wear athleisure because they feel frustrated in their efforts to find a wardrobe that is comfortable and makes them love how they look. They are not choosing to wear their activewear regularly because they feel that it is the best expression of who they are. They are wearing these clothes because they have given up. 
Sure, the athleisure trend makes it easy to get dressed and be done. You can blend in and while you might not feel special in your clothes you do feel comfortable and acceptable.

But, these women call me because acceptable is no longer good enough! Wearing yoga pants doesn't make sense anymore! They want more - they deserve more!

While I agree that feeling comfortable in your clothes is key, wearing my workout clothes 24/7 is not the best, and certainly not the only, answer to make you feel good. 

If trying to figure out alternatives on your own feels overwhelming, don’t worry. You can lean on me this season and I will help you find ease​ and joy ​by creating a wardrobe and outfits that are aligned with who you are!
