STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Spring Leisure

April 15th, 2016 at 2:00am

Now that the snow has finally melted and the spring flowers are in bloom, we cannot help but look forward to the sunny months ahead. After yet another brutal winter in the Midwest, any word of a warm day brings nothing but excitement. You can enjoy all the great things the outdoors has to offer, rather than hiding inside your heater building. Whether you enjoy running through campus, de-stressing through yoga or picking a spot on the lawn to work on some homework, athleisure is the answer this season.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with athleisure, it is athletic clothing that can double as a casual outfit for day-to-day wear or as a fitness outfit. This means you can toss out those old T-shirts and take notes from this fit Fashionista. She is sporting a burgundy colored wrap sweater, which is the perfect throw up for your workout or casual outfit for class. The front snaps make the wrap versatile enough from windy breezes to sunny days.

She paired her fun colored wrap with a basic white T-shirt and a solid pair of black leggings; both essential pieces in any wardrobe. Her accessories were kept to a minimal with a pair of stud earrings, black Nikes, and a simple black lululemon bag. Oh, and did I forget to mention the coveted Saint Mary’s ring? Whether you are you looking for an outfit to be active in the spring sun or a comfy outfit for class, athleisure is your perfect match.
