Athleisure Fridays

One of the many great things about my place of work is the casual dress code. Jeans are a mainstay most days for me, and on Fridays, things get even more casual. I'm talking athleisure at work. 

Athleisure is one of the best things to happen in my lifetime, and that's not an exaggeration. Yoga pants to work? Seriously?! #blessed. Don't be fooled - I do actually perform activities in my workout clothes, too; I love sweating it out in yoga, and I've recently been reunited with the gym. There's just something about pulling on a pair of yoga pants and slipping into some tennies on a Friday morning after a week of wearing constricting clothing and shoes that feels like magic. If you don't have the luxury of working in a casual office setting, these looks are just as fitting for weekend wear. 

My equation for pulling off a successful athleisure look always starts with yoga leggings and tennis shoes matched with a less athletic looking piece on top. Less athletic doesn't equal less comfort, though. My top usually consists of a long sleeved tee or a knit top. Depending on the weather, I'll then build onto it by adding a sweatshirt, cardigan, or light jacket, and if it seems appropriate, a scarf or very casual necklace. Keep the look simple and have fun with it!
