How I Style Athleisure Pants for Workwear
Am I smiling too big? I am so excited it is a three day weekend! So let’s talk leisure…well, athleisure-style and how I wear it to work. Athleisure is when designers use the inspiration of athletic wear and design any pieces…evening wear included…to wear throughout our lives. I only own this one pair of pants…silk joggers I purchased at Chico’s about three years ago when the trend first hit everywhere.
I hope you can see the design of the pants at the bottom and how they match a jogger pant. I ie these because they do not have the athletic stripe on the side so it is easy to wear them for work. The military jacket I am wearing is also Chico’s and is very lightweight making it perfect for spring warmth. You can see we are having our typical summer pattern of clear skies and full sun. If you love it, I highly recommend San Antonio! I like this style for my work, it shows I am put together, professional, and creative. The pants are very comfortable. I am glad I did not assume they were only for casual style.
Looks like summer is upon us…anyone have incredible plans for the weekend? Please share! And if you are styling athleisure wear in a fun way, share that as well! As always, I have a slide show below and will see you tomorrow for Would You Wear It!
Keep Smiling!!
I have a gray and black pair of those pants also no stripe….what a life changer to be able to wear for work
And we moved to San Antonio a little over a year ago from Chicago and are so happy we did…beautiful fun city.

Welcome, Alicia!! So happy to have you here. Enjoy your weekend… you have a fun lineup planned! Thanks for being here!
Pam, this is exactly what I meant several weeks ago when I commented that post retirement ladies tend to wear athleisure wear . Not that any of mine is silk, but I can still style it nicely with jackets and accessories to camouflage the gym look. It’s great for travel because it doesn’t wrinkle and takes up very little space. Even a cargo athleisure pant can be upgraded with a jacket and some of the new flatform style shoes. It’s a fun challenge to re-invent the pieces and integrate them into your wardrobe.
It took me a while to accept this style. While I love the comfort and like to juxtapose contrasting styles, it was so different that I couldn’t quite figure out the proportions and proper mix. Now I think I like it … but fear it is one of those styles where in years hence you see a picture of yourself and laugh. Oh well, life needs more laughter and I love this on you, Pam. How about a post on how to actually pull it off?
