Ever see a fashion trend and think, “I am never, ever wearing that,” only to find yourself eyeing it later?
I couldn’t believe the spreads I saw in fashion magazines months ago proclaiming the virtues of “athleisure,” and I was determined to leave sweatpants in the past.
However, late winter in Nashville can be a dreary affair, featuring rain, clouds, and temps in the 30s. I want pants that are warmer than leggings and can take me from the gym to the grocery store. Enter sweatpants.
Clockwise from top left:
1. Ivy Sweatpant, by LA Relaxed. Made in the USA, featuring organic cotton. $72
2. Ahnya Pants, by Patagonia. Made with organic cotton and fair trade certified sewing. $79
3. Phoebe Sweatpant, by Threads for Thought. Organic cotton and recycled polyvester, made with transparency. $49
4. Street Fleece Pant, by Everlane. Made with transparency. $60.
I’m still not sure I’ll take the plunge, but it sure is tempting on gray, chilly days. What do you think? Is athleisure for you?
