Athleta Round Up
Hi friends! Happy Monday. I hope this post finds you well, and by well, I mean off for a long weekend :). I saw that Athleta was having a good sale over this holiday weekend, so I thought I would round up some of my most recent Athleta faves. Some on sale, some that aren’t (more on this below) but all good options for Athleisure or athletic wear!
For several years, I have been a die hard Lululemon fan ONLY. I still love Lulu and their clothes, but the big reason I love them so much is because of the QUALITY. For a while after college, I bought my workout clothes exclusively from TJ Maxx - which is totally fine, I still am obsessed with TJ Maxx. However, I found that about every 4-6 mos. the clothes I consistently worked out in that I bought there did not hold up - they would start peeling or the seams would start to unravel. When this happened, I was buying more and more just to replace them all throughout the year - which really can add up!
I still am wearing my first pair of Lulu leggings that I bought 5+ years ago and they still look and perform in a workout like they did on day 1. If you workout consistently, sometimes quality should win out over quantity so that the items you are buying hold up longer! I still won’t pass up a good deal at TJ Maxx - especially on white workout tanks (bc no matter where you buy those, I feel like they always get gross). Once I discovered that Lulu had such great quality items, I started looking for other brands that had similar quality so that I could find some different pieces and mix it up a little. Enter: Athleta.
Athleta has so many great pieces both for hard workouts, or “dressier” Athleisure for wearing to the office and I happen to love both! Whenever I see they are having a sale, I have to jump on it, especially since other similar brands cough, cough - Lululemon, NEVER have sales and when they do, all of the sizes sell out in the blink of an eye! This is where Athleta takes the cake in my opinion!
Athleta Sale Finds
Here are some of my top picks from Athleta’s sale!
Uptempo Hoodie Sweatshirt: I have this pullover in this color. This fits TTS and is flattering with leggings. It is a little longer in the front and back than it is on the sides. Lightweight and comfy, comes in multiple colors that are also on sale!
Well Rested Ribbed Sleep Set - this got me THROUGH my COVID quarantine! My mom got me this for Christmas and it is so comfy! Fits TTS and is on sale in the pink color and a light blue!
Coaster Luxe Sweatshirt - I have this in multiple colors and it is so soft! Perfect for Athleisure wear or travel wear! Seen here in this pic:
4. Retroplush Hoodie: I bought this in the tan color, which is on sale along with the pink one. I would 1000% recommend sizing up in this one. The arms on the small I ordered felt a little short, and it definitely has a “cropped” feel on the length. I would definitely size up for an oversized feel!
5. Ultimate Train Top: I have this top in the burgundy color shown. Super light weight and dry fit material that almost feels like silk. Not heavy at all and runs TTS. I definitely want this in all the colors
6. Momentum Half Zip: A great throw and go pullover. I have this in the red shown above, which is on sale this weekend! Runs TTS
7. Ranier 7/8 Tight: Love this color and this style of legging. Still a lil’ pricey, but if you love the color and style, better to buy them on sale than for full price! If you prefer this style in a different color, make sure to sign up for Athleta rewards - you will get 20-30% off your entire purchase emails throughout the year.
8. Conscious Crop Bra: This comes in sooo many colors, only a few of which are on sale this weekend, but all are neutral so would go with anything. I have this in blue and love to wear it to do my peloton or Pilates workouts!
Other Sale - Limited Stock
A few of my other fave items are on sale but have limited sizes/colors available!
This biker set is so cute and comfortable! Unfortunately the bra is no longer available in this color but I will link the same style below that is a different color, but stocked well in multiple sizes that are on sale. The shorts are sold out in the hot pink, and have low stock in the smaller sizes, but will still link below!
This printed set is on sale! The leggings are well stocked in the smaller and larger sizes, the in between - not so much. The bra is sold out in the A-C size but the bigger sizes are in stock. Will link both below!
Athleta Faves Not on Sale
Wind Down Sleep Robe: This is yet another COVID recovery piece for me. All about comfort. This robe is the perfect weight! I have several “fuzzy” robes, which are great for winter but can be a little hot in all of the in between seasons, right after a shower or when blow drying your hair! This robe is so lightweight and soft. Fits TTS.
Flurry Blizzard Rib Turtleneck: can be worn for Athleisure (I did on Christmas), or to work out in. Would be perfect for a winter run. Fits tight and is thicker than your average dry fit shirt, great for layering! This is meant to fit tight, so I would say TTS. If you hate tight clothes esp on your arms, skip this one!
Ranier 7/8 Heathered tights: Like the ones above on sale, just in grey! Love the zippers on these. Very different than leggings you would find anywhere else. Fits TTS.
Whistler Half Zip: I cannot stress enough how much I looooove this pullover. It comes in 4 colors, but I was so drawn to the fuchsia. Thicker than your average Nike half zip, and feels more insulated for outside. Fits TTS and you will want allll the colors. Reminder: sign up for Athleta rewards so that you will get exclusive 20-30% off your purchase coupons throughout the year!
5. Cozy Karma Asymmetrical Pullover: This is so so soft on the inside. Almost like furry??? idk what the material is, but feels like you are wearing a blanket or wrapped in a warm hug. Comes in several colors, has a cool neckline and a tulip hem. One advisory, because of the way this wraps and crosses over in the front, the shortest part of this is front and center. Just something to keep in mind if this makes you uncomfy while wearing leggings!
6. Flurry Force Insulated Jacket: super sleek looking, I have in black! Comes in other colors, the pink is on sale! The sleeves are almost knit, so they are tighter throughout the arm. Great for layering for a walk!
7. Stroll Fleece Full Zip: thicker, warmer jacket. Looks more professional than athletic so this is one of those pieces that you could totally wear to work. Great neutral and can dress up any outfit! Runs TTS
8. Uptempo jogger: my absolute favorites. Feels like I am putting my legs in butter (weird - but no other way to describe how soft and smooth these are, lol). Come in multiple colors, and run TTS. A couple of the colors are on sale, I just tend to migrate toward a more neutral look but these are so comfy!
If you stay looking for comfy athletic wear like I do, I hope this helps you find some markdowns on great quality pieces! You can’t go wrong with Athleta wear. In addition to a 60 day return policy, they also have a “Give-it-a-workout guarantee” where you can try and workout in any of the clothing you buy. If you do not like it, you can still return it as long as it is within 60 days of purchase. Quality is guaranteed!
I hope you all enjoy your long weekend and short work week!
