Ladies of fashion, it is time once again for me to discuss one of my ultimate fashion don’ts…first it was crocs and now…drum roll please….the track suit. This little getty up has caused not only myself, but some of my most fashionable friends great confusion. WHY do women insist on wearing a suit that, as it’s name suggests, is made for the track? Okay, it all matches and fine, it’s comfortable, but what fashion trend are you exemplifying when you don running gear to brunch with the girls? Honestly gals, read these words and seal them to memory – track suits are made for the track. Yes, I said it - made for a brisk morning jog or an evening run, not for a trip to grocery store or stop by the spa. This fashion disaster has officially retired (because I said so) and it should now take up permanent residence on the very back rack of your closet, next to the hawaiin print moo moo and the magenta crocs.
Sorry gals, even the “couture” Juicy track suit that you wear to the airport is a no-go. You know my feelings on “rolling out of bed” fashion at the airport, and the ole track suit falls right smack in the middle of that category. The track suit is not flattering, you can’t make it stylish (no matter how cool you think the cami underneath that horrible zip up jacket is) and just because it’s comfortable doesn’t mean it should be your default choice when you have nothing to wear! Remember, that silly little track suit belongs on the dang track.
Okay, now that the velour/nylon/cotton mess has died, it’s time to settle into more appropriate “comfort” wear. You may be wondering what my “default” outfit is, and as a self-proclaimed fashionista, I have decided to lead by example. Whether I’m jet setting to a big city, running to my favorite fresh food market, skipping to a facial or leaving for a day o’ shopping, I always reach for my favorite jeans, a deep-v tee (ahem, American Apparel of course) and my leopard print gladiator sandies. Fashionable, functional and flattering…no track suit necessary. Simple pieces like dark denim, tailored shorts, flowing tank tops and a deep v-necks give you room to move and the chance to display your best assets. An embellished flat will keep you comfortable all day and give a little personality to your overall look. Who can argue with a hot ass, tan cleavage, foxy legs and/or a fab shoe…anyone? See below for a PERFECT “on the go” outfit and check out those gams!! I rest my case.
As I have said many times before, wearing functional clothes does not mean that you have sacrifice style. Yes, I understand that you are a working mom of 8, and yes, I understand that when you rock corporate attire 5 days a week you want to “slum” it on the weekend…but honestly, the second you justify the “slummy mummy” look is the second you’ve officially let yourself go! Being a mama or being superwoman does not mean that you can’t enjoy the perks of how fashion makes women feel....stylish, creative, sexy, feminine!! So, the next time that you have a million things on your to-do list and zero time to finish, fight to the urge to venture to the back of your closet where the fashion no-no’s live…I promise that if you put on something that is stylish (whether its your fav jeans or a super cute sundress), and lets you navigate comfortably through the day (leave the heels at home, ladies!) you will totally have the confidence of a fashion do gooder– and all the dudes will totally check you out in the grocery store!
xoxo,
