I have a bit of a weakness for cute workout clothes, especially matching sets. Do I need another pair of leggings? Probably not. But a new outfit does make me a little more excited to get dressed for the gym, so I’m not going to complain. Lately, I’ve been trying more Fabletics, and I’ve picked […]

I’ve learned that loving one piece from a brand doesn’t mean I’ll love everything they make. I’ve had leggings that fit perfectly but couldn’t find a sports bra from the same collection that I liked nearly as much. When I’m shopping for activewear, I look at what a brand offers across its leggings, sports bras,

Finding the best workout leggings sounds simple enough, but it depends on what you’re wearing them for. Some days I want plenty of compression for squats or jumping rope. Other days, I’m doing yoga at home or running down the dirt roads near our house. And plenty of days, my leggings have to get me

I don’t mind paying more for leggings I love, but at $100 a pair, my expectations are pretty high. Lululemon has a loyal following thanks to its fabrics and workout clothes that can last for years. Still, when I’m mostly wearing those leggings to Target or around the house, I start to wonder whether I

When the temperature drops, a team beanie can be a pretty useful piece of gear. Players can wear them to early-morning practices and cold-weather games, and coaches, parents, and fans can use them to show their team colors on the sidelines.

Coach is still one of the easiest places to start when you want a leather handbag without jumping straight into four-figure designer pricing. The brand has been making leather goods for decades, offers everything from smaller shoulder bags to work-sized totes, and still has plenty of styles that are much quieter than the monogram-heavy Coach

I saved up for a Longchamp Le Pliage in college, back when it was the “it” bag on campus. If you’ve owned one too, you know why it caught on: It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and folds down flat for travel. Longchamp still does those things well, and the brand offers far more than nylon

Going braless is often the right way to go. But sometimes, you just don’t feel like freeing the nipple. For those occasions, nipple covers offer some coverage without requiring putting on a whole bra. Historically, however, a lot of them have sucked. Today, there are plenty of nipple covers that actually provide coverage and disappear

I have a belt in my closet that I’m pretty sure I wore in high school, which tells you about how much attention I had been paying to belts. I also had one I kept mostly because I could swap my Western buckles onto it, even though it was so big that the extra leather
