My Amazon Athleisure Favorites

Athleisure style is here to stay and with Amazon’s ease of shopping & great fashion finds; you will love staying in style this summer!

Happy Shopping! I want to share with you some of my favorite Amazon athleisure items! And most of my favorite items are under $40! First, if you don’t know what athleisure means; it’s a big style trend nowadays. As it’s when you wear athletic + leisure styled clothes that can go from the gym to running errands! And since I love wearing them so much, I thought you might also might be looking to update your athleisure look. Plus you can’t beat the amazing prices and fast delivery (ok, not as fast as normal for Amazon, but still great for inexpensive, easy shopping at your home). Also, athleisure wear is so comfy, you can wear it all day!

Bike Shorts are the “Must-Have” Summer Item

Bike shorts to me are the summer version of leggings (here are great leggings too if you’re not ready for bike shorts) , and a must-have for summer athleisure! As the shorts are so comfortable, they look & feel good and you can wear them almost anywhere! Plus the shorts come in varying lengths, 5″, 8″ and 10″ inseam to fit your comfort level. The length that I feel most comfortable wearing for athleisure/running errands is the 8″ (as seen in these pictures below) . The 5″ is great for the gym, hiking and running. And the 10″ is a bit long for me, unless I am biking. Also there are so many colors to choose from. But don’t wait, as I have found that the popularity has hit the masses; so sizes and colors tend to go fast. As most everyone else has found it’s a great summer staple to have too.

How to Get the Look

How to wear the bike shorts? There are so many great ways to wear bike shorts; just think of what you wear with your leggings. Ok, but not the winter look with boots, yikes!!! To get an Athleisure Look: pair it with a t-shirt or loose fitting sweater and give it a slight tuck in the front of the shorts. For an Athletic Look: sports bra/camisole or tank top and then a jacket or sweatshirt over it for cooler days/nights. Or on warmer days, you can throw on a t-shirt over the sports bra while running errands.

The Right Shoes Can Make (or break) the Outfit

What shoes to wear? When going to workout, a good athletic tennis shoe is always a great choice. I prefer a nice bright white one with a little color, as seen by my UA tennis shoe. Actually, I bought white laces to change out the neon yellow laces for a more toned down look too. Then when you’re ready for a more casual or athleisure style, look for a classic all white sneaker. The Adidas shoes are an awesome compliment to this look. Or even flip flops to wear to a yoga class or running errands.

The Best Accessory to Complete the Look

Sunglasses have become the newest way to accessorize an outfit. Yes, for wearing, but also for hanging on the neckline of your shirt! It’s like the “jewelry” for your athleisure look! And with so many awesome knock off sunglasses; it’s easier and so much cheaper to have a great variety for each look. This is the time to be a bit bold and change up the sizes, shapes & colors! Now I still have my nice, “brand name” sunglasses for when I dress up; but have fun with sunglasses for your athleisure look!

Also, if you own an Apple iWatch, changing out the bands is another great way to accessorize your outfit. As I have bought so many watch bands from Amazon for different looks; the rubberized, leather & the stretchy velcro. They look and feel just like the ones from Apple, but much less expensive! This too can be a great way to accessorize your athleisure look & tell time! 🙂

Go have fun shopping and get ready to be a part of the summer 2020 look!
