It’s no secret that years of working from home have changed the game in how we get dressed — when it comes down to jeans or leggings, we’re team stretchy every time. To keep your activewear looking chic outside of your HIIT class, the key is in striking a balance — between sporty and professional (for the office) or sporty and sexy (for going out). We believe in the power of the third piece to take your fit up a notch, whether that’s a tailored blazer, utility jacket, or lightweight button-down shirt. For days in the office, weekend errands, and afternoon plans with friends, read on for some styling inspo to elevate your fave activewear pieces.

SHOP THE TREND

BOOKED AND BUSY

She’s got plans. A tailored blazer is a no-brainer: we love this iteration by Birgitte Herskind — it’ll ward off any office AC, keep you covered on the subway, and is easy to throw on post-Pilates. It’s the perfect third layer to this houndstooth playsuit by The Upside (a BANDIER exclusive!). Add a few gold accessories, chunky leather slides, and you’re out the door. Barre to bar, literally.

HOT GIRL WALK

Weekends are for hot girl walks — we don’t make the rules. Everyone knows the ultimate base for a HGW is a little black set, and this strappy Le Ore Bra + Center Stage Bike Short are a duo that won’t fail you. A sweatshirt around the waist in case of sudden breeze, a comfy pair of Nikes, and a baseball hat — it’s sporty, it’s easy: you’re set for 70 degree park days or a run to Whole Foods.

TRUST IN TONAL

A matching set is a tried-and-true choice, but keeping your third piece in the same color family is a sure way to keep things looking put together and intentional, rather than throw-on-and-go. Le Ore’s sweat-wicking Le Sculpt set is Pilates-ready, but chic enough to keep wearing throughout your day. Add a pop of color with a bag and you’re set. We’d even wear this to the office, with a crisp button-down over top for a little coverage and polish. Because yes, we believe wearing activewear to the office should be a thing.
