STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Leggings Beat Your Jeans

March 8th, 2016 at 2:00am

Jeans are not always the most comfortable thing to wear to class. Sometimes I wake up and would rather skip class altogether then have to go through the trouble of picking out a cute outfit and prying on my skinny jeans. Luckily for Fashionista’s everywhere, athletic wear is trending and head-to-toe looks can be spotted all over campus.

I spotted this Fashionista on campus rocking a complete Under Armour outfit. She was getting ready to hit the gym after class and admits that athletic wear is part of her daily ensemble. Her capris offer more stretch than jeans and are twice as comfortable. That paired with the comfortable jacket and tank top offer some great layers in case her teacher has the heat cranked up in the classroom or things get really intense at the gym. Her shoes are made for walking and offer an extreme support, but they are still stylish because of their reflective accents. Lastly, her duffel carries both books and workout gear, so she can have everything she needs for a long day at school. This girl is ready to get her study and her fitness on.

Athletic wear has become the go-to option for many busy college students looking to stay comfy and active. Whether it is a full outfit like this Fashionista, a pair of tennis shoes or yoga pants, you definitely won’t be judged for taking it easy on yourself. If you are one of those magical people that find jeans to actually be comfortable, I salute you, but I would choose a pair of leggings any day.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Don’t be a hero. Substitute those skintight jeans for a stretchy pair of leggings and pair them with some sneakers, and call it a day. Athletic wear is your friend my fellow Fashionistas!”
