Hi all,

Today we're talking workout clothes and office wear. Two items that you don't necessarily associate together, right? Sure, athleisure is a thing, and it's my stay-at-home or quick errands uniform, but how can we combine these two and challenge ourselves to stay active even during the work week? That's where Athleta's #WorkInYourWorkout challenge comes in!

Don't forget to comment below letting me know your thoughts on the outfit and how you stay active during the workday!

#WorkInYourWorkout & Staying Active during the workweek

The challenge at hand: how do we infuse our workday with activity? How do we remain active during the workday? And how do we remain looking chic while doing so? This week I took the #WorkInYourWorkout challenge to be more active and since the weather was nice, I opted to either ride a bike or walk to my meetings around town instead of taking the subway or a car. Overall, being more active made me feel better - more accomplished. The mentality of walking or biking to your first meeting makes you feel like even if something goes wrong, by that time you've already accomplished something -  being active.

But in order to do so, and in particular with this heat, you need the right outfit. If you walk from where I live to SoHo or West Village in a suit, you'll arrive as if you had taken a shower - drenched!

Active Wear for the office

This white button-down is a perfect example of what we're after. It's lightweight, thin and perfect for work or a meeting. The shirt features also a button detailing running down its sides making it trendy and offering a modern take on your regular white shirt. It also features a thin, sharp edge collar, making it also very much on trend for Fall.

Waist down, I opted for great fitted active-wear pants. They fit perfect, are true to size and are very comfortable making them a great buy. Paired with the white-button down, which covers the hips, no one will be able to tell you’re wearing active wear clothing to a work meeting.

To finalize the outfit, and be prepared for those cold offices, I also added this black sweater which I have tied around my waist for my commute. 

Thank you for reading and I look forward to seeing you in the comments!
