Pretty Fix: The January 2017 List

Welcome to the first Pretty Fix of 2017 and this month is all about activewear! I can already hear you saying “but I thought we were supposed to be getting OUT of our yoga pants?!?” Yes, while that’s true, so is this. I spend every morning of my life in workout gear, even when I don’t work out. It’s sort of my “transition outfit” from pajamas into real clothes. The important thing is getting dressed in real clothes, which usually happens late morning for me. So it’s important to have the right pieces in place since I wear these clothes more than any other type.

If you’ve set a resolution to get more active in the new year, I can tell you from personal experience that having new workout gear is incredibly motivating! There’s no time like the present to get yours in place as motivation (or reward) for working out.

This month’s fix is made up of pieces that I’m actually wearing for my workouts and daily dog walks. Better yet? Almost all of it is ON SALE!

Here’s your January 2017 Pretty Fix.

Pretty Fix – January 2017

Guest Stylist – Lauren Maas, Health and Fitness Coach

As a health and fitness coach, Lauren understands the need for workout wear to be comfortable and functional. Her picks for this capsule include pieces with moisture-wicking technology to help regulate body temperature and prevent chafing. She has also chosen pieces that have mesh or other built-in ventilation features. Several of the lines have anti-microbial technology which combats odors. It’s really important for those who are newer to working out or running to have proper footwear to prevent injury, footwear options with more cushioning are recommended. As far as materials, items with a higher percentage of spandex are included for greater tension to give you a tighter feel and more support. If you don’t like the compression aspect and feel restricted, looser options are also included.

Great looking (and feeling) workout wear is the ultimate motivator! Get your workout capsule wardrobe ready with the 2017 Activewear Capsule, opening on Friday.
