We’ve all been there: You reluctantly drag yourself out of bed on Sunday for an early-morning workout class (even if you hit snooze a few too many times). Once class is over, you check your phone and see your group chat is blowing up with last-minute plans for brunch. You think, Oh shit. I’m sweaty, gross, and my outfit is definitely not the vibe for a nice restaurant. While you can hop in the shower and throw on a quick makeup look in the locker room, you can’t make a cute fit appear out of thin air if you don’t have enough time to stop by your apartment.
It’s a tale as old as time but we’ve got the solution. Here are some of our favorite, versatile athleisure pieces you can rely on when those last-minute brunch plans pop up:
Whether it's leg, arm, or cardio day, this trendy sneaker provides you the support and stability you need from the gym and beyond. Vionic's podiatrist-approved cushioned orthotic feels like you're walking on a cloud even when you're jogging on the track. Channel your inner Bella Hadid, the queen of athleisure, by completing the look with an oversized sweatshirt, long biker shorts, and a pair of statement sunglasses. 7 colors available This workout dress is where comfort meets style. My favorite feature is the shorts liner that's complete with sticky grippers on the hem—so you don't have to do the awkward shimmy (you know the one) to adjust them. Style it with a crossbody fanny pack and baseball cap to give it that it-girl touch. 15 colors available I used to be very hesitant wearing jewelry to the gym because I didn't want to tarnish my favorite pieces—that was until I invested in a sweat-proof solid gold necklace. This dainty necklace won't get in your way when lifting weights or during your pilates class. The timeless round diamond accent will match not only your activewear looks, but your entire capsule wardrobe for years to come. 3 colors available Upgrade your go-to hair tie for this mesh scrunchie. The tight Alo logo pattern almost looks designer and the small knot bow adds a Parisian girl vibe to any gym fit. I'm not lying when I say I've never seen athleisure look this chic. Get sweaty in the strappy sports bra then throw on the sheer mesh overlay in the locker room for instant street style. Pair it with their Airlift leggings for the full monochrome look. Running fans, avid tennis players, and pickleball lovers: This one is for you. Move effortlessly across the track or court in this lightweight skirt. Lululemon's Luxtreme sweat-wicking and quick-drying fabric keeps you cool as you break a sweat. Plus, it has a pocket perfectly sized for storing your phone while you're on the go. 8 colors available I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I turn to bodysuits (like this one) when I don't know what to wear. They make a complete outfit on their own or you can dress them up by pairing them with a button-down or cardigan with jewelry. Plus, the double straps on this one add a touch of sporty elegance. Ditch your old drawstring gym bag for this stunner from Calpak. This lightweight duffel has nine pockets—including one to stow an extra pair of shoes inside. The Luka Duffel also makes for a great work or travel bag. 8 colors available A crop tank top that doubles as a supportive sports bra? I'd like 10 please. Abercrombie's sculptLUX fabric is smooth and flattering without pinching or restricting you during workouts. The square neckline leaves enough room for a dainty necklace or statement earrings to dress it up before leaving the gym. 22 colors available "Flare leggings," or for us zillenial/millenials, "yoga pants," are back with a much more sophisticated look. The fit of these flare leggings almost resemble tailored trousers with their flattering hemming and silhouette. Customize the flare (and show off your cute dad sneaks) by adjusting the invisible zipper at the ankles. 2 colors available
