Ask Sophie Mae: Fashionable Workout Wear

“Dear Sophie Mae,

I want to look stylish at the gym, but always end up wearing the same old black sweats. What are some cute and comfortable options?”

Dear Ms. Fit,

It’s been said that if you still look cute after a workout, you haven’t worked out hard enough. That being said, you still want to look fashionable at the beginning of your workout, right? After all, you never know who you’ll run into while you’re getting your sweat on. You may be in the same spin class as your future boss or even doing crunches next to your future hottie husband!

While most people would opt for basic black because it can make you appear more slim, you shouldn’t hesitate to add pops of color into your workout wardrobe. The gym is a great place to experiment with trends you may otherwise be to shy to try.

I’ve selected three workout looks to help you look stylish while you sweat. Whether you’re going to a yoga class or Crossfit training.

Looking Stylish in Dance Class

{ While you may be fairly conservative outside of the gym, you can feel free to have fun with your workout gear. I created this look for gals who love their hip hop or Zoomba classes. These Capri leggings are comfortable, yet stylish and I’m a huge fan of some crazy kicks while working out. }

Style Copy Cat: Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen may have two pretty famous sisters (yeah, you may have heard of them), but ever since her movie debut in Martha Marcy May Marlene in 2011, she has made a name for herself and has proved she has some serious acting chops. Elizabeth has become known as quite the fashion plate on the indie red carpets as well.

Her style always seems effortless and oh so chic. She typically favors designers that offer unexpected silhouettes like Prada and Marni. On her days off, you can usually see her sporting funky hats, her round sunnies and vintage boots. Take a cue from this style-setter by keeping your color palette more muted, while paying close attention to fit and detailing.

Editorial Inspiration: Kate Moss for Mango 2012

Maybe it’s because I’ve always had a major girl crush on Ms. Moss or perhaps it’s the fitted blazers paired with men’s style trousers that made me swoon over  Mango’s Winter 2012 collection. The Spanish retailer has consistently offered us fashion forward options at great prices and this season is no exception.

One of my favorite pieces is the long-sleeve sequin dress. The shape is just so sexy, yet completely sophisticated at the same time. I’m also a huge sucker for a great jacket, so I naturally gravitated toward the military inspired styles that are so on trend right now.

Baby, it’s cold outside! Well, at least if you live outside of California. Elle Poland highlights the military coat trend that’s sure to be a huge hit this winter. Look for structured coats in army green with black leather accents or tweed jackets with structured shoulders. For a fun way to look hot while keeping warm, try pairing your new coat with a fringe mini and tights or belt the look or an hourglass silhouette.
