Transitioning to spring can mean several things including shorter hemlines, bright hues and getting fit. For many athletic apparel brands, workout clothes combine both utility and its ability to highlight style for everyday wear. For the last few seasons, designers have been integrating sporty looks into their collection on the runway and athletic apparel lines now offer a range of designs far beyond what was available in the past.
To celebrate being fit in style for spring, here are a few looks that will help lighten the load of working out.
The GapFit Blackout Above: Technology Mesh Leggings, $69.95 from The Gap. Perfect for Barre classes, this unique black interlock fabric provides maximum coverage so you can bend and stretch with ease. The breathable jersey also pulls moisture away from skin to keep you dry.
