As someone who's cold basically all the time, I have a soft spot for all kinds of layers: sweaters, jackets, sweatshirts, you name it. Alala has been hitting the sweatshirt game hard, so I was really excited to have the chance to try out a whole slew of their current styles. Here's how they shook out. And lest you think that there's only one way to wear an active fashion sweatshirt, I mixed ...

Athleta Elation Tights + Capris Review
The elation lineup is one of Athleta's newest additions to their Powervita collection. The elation leggings are designed with simplicity in mind, forgoing any decorative seams or extra elements. I went a little crazy and bought these in three colors: two pairs of capris and one pair of 7/8 tights. I ended up returning one of the capris, dark may rose, but I kept auberge and maritime pine. ...
Athleta Stripe Salutation Tight Review
Striped leggings are a staple of my active wardrobe--I'm always willing to add another pair to my collection. I had tried two pairs of Athleta's powervita tights before and neither worked, but these stripe salutations lured me in for another try. This pair finally makes it clear what all the fuss is about! A lot of people have said that powervita is similar to lululemon's nulu, except ...
Tracksmith Harrier Tank Review
The harrier tank is one of Tracksmith's signature running tops.

Compared to the past version, this one is quite a bit lighter. It's made of merino and just a little bit of elastane for stretch. Although it's fairly light, the merino fabric does not ...
Lululemon Time to Sweat Bra Review
Lululemon has come out with quite a few appealing sports bras lately. For a while, it felt like they were only releasing cute bras for smaller cup sizes, but I've been happy to see more options at lulu for mid-range cup sizes and even a few additions for larger cup sizes as well. Most recently, the time to sweat bra caught my eye. I fell in love with it and have gone back for multiple colors ...
Athleta Stripe Contender Tights Review
Stripes are one of my all-time favorite patterns for workout pants. When I saw these contender tights from Athleta, they had my name written all over them. I purchased these in XXS, my usual size in Athleta. In my opinion, they fit true to size. The fabric is mid-weight with good compression. The compression feels similar to lululemon's luxtreme. The fabric feels slightly thicker than ...
