Whimsy-Fit

San Franciso, CA

I’ll be honest: athleisure has never really been my thing.

But sometimes the day starts with a workout and then immediately turns into errands, appointments, coffee and going home to change just isn’t happening.

So I work with it. The hoodie and sneakers can stay. I just need something that makes the outfit feel more like me.

Enter the tulle skirt.

It adds exactly enough unnecessary whimsy to make very practical clothes considerably more fun.

WHY IT WORKS

The sporty pieces give the outfit a casual foundation, while the tulle brings volume, movement and a completely different mood.

Because everything stays in grey, black and brown, the contrast comes from the pieces themselves instead of a bunch of competing color.

And the sneakers are important because they keep the tulle from suddenly turning the outfit into “dressy.”

STEAL THIS IDEA

If you have to wear the practical thing, add one completely impractical thing.

Tulle over leggings. A dramatic coat with sweats. Jewelry after Pilates.

You don’t need a whole new outfit. You might just need one piece that makes it feel like yours.
