Let’s be real. I feel better when I look good. Call me shallow, but it’s true. This also holds true for when I go to the gym. In some twisted way, stylish workout clothes that fit well and make me look good inspire me to hit the gym more often.
After wearing only one brand of workout attire for nearly five years, I came across a new company that I am so enthusiastic about. Albion Fit not only has a broad range of everything from fitness attire, to swimsuits, to leisure wear, their pieces are designed by women who know and understand a woman’s body (I mean, you can’t go wrong with that one).
When it comes to workout attire, there are a few must-haves for me to wear them.
- A cute butt is essential
- It has to suck it all in
- Prints or design should be minimal yet modern
- Quality fabrics to last years of washing
- Clothes can be worn outside of gym
These Mesh Tech Leggings are my new favs. They are high waisted and have a wide waistband at the top which is excellent for keeping everything tight and pulled in. The most crucial thing is that my backside looks cute in them! The mesh panels on the back of the legs add a little sexiness to the leggings and also helps to flatter the calves. I wore this with the Go Long Crew which is lightweight and perfect for the winter. The length of the tee is long and sits perfectly at the hips (or can be knotted like I did) and the wide neck of this tee can also be worn slightly off the shoulder. I love the versatility of the tee because it can be worn several different ways for different looks. See below for links to full outfit details and 15% off!

And for those days when you just don’t feel like working out or dressing up, you would appreciate Albion Fit’s loungewear. I live for athleisure wear because it’s easy, comfy, and can still be pulled off as street chic.
The At Ease Joggers are my go-to pants for just about anything. The drawstring waist makes for easy on and off and the detailed stitching throughout the joggers adds minimal design. Nothing says sporty chic like a bomber jacket. This slate floral bomber jacket the perfect throw on to any workout look or off duty style. Underneath this amazing bomber, I am wearing the Exhale sports bra. For me, the selling feature of this bra is that it is longer than most sports bras (so it doesn’t tug up and you can wear it as a top too without it being overly revealing). The bra is lightly padded but also has a hole for inserts just in case you need to slip in additional padding (no judgement here). The back of the bra features a modern design and is a racerback style. The joggers and the bomber can be worn with so many other pieces outside of workout clothes which makes them even more functional for your closet. Full outfit details are below along with a code for 15% off!

What draws me to Albion Fit is that they make quality, earth friendly products that are breathable and can last for years to come. Especially since you are wearing them, stretching them, sweating in them and washing them nonstop, it is nice to know that you won’t have to replace your workout attire for many, many years.
/ Tips to Motivate you to Workout /
- Create a playlist of songs that pump you up
- Wake up with the mindset that you will exercise today
- Workout first thing in the morning to get it done
- Look at inspiring photos of strong and fit people
- Eat a healthy breakfast so you start the day off right
- If all else fails, put on some workout clothes and see where it takes you!
Thank you to Albion Fit for sponsoring this post and keeping me fit and looking fabulous while at the gym and running errands!

I wish I looked this chic while working out girl!!! And totally agree with all your advice..I live for high-waisted leggings and quality fabrics when working out. Love how you styled all these pieces 🙂

I have no doubt you look incredible while working out and dancing! You are major goals Jessi! High waisted leggings are my jam!
I just received the same leggings and can’t wait to workout and shoot in them! You’re right about how workout attire affects your mood. I workout daily but feel extra motivated when I am wearing stylish or great quality workout apparel!
Oh yay, we can twin! I LOVE these mesh tech leggings! The fit is incredible and the different fabric on the calves makes a difference. Working out in cute clothes is very inspiring!
You look incredible babe! Really inspiring me to get off the couch and start working out because I only have like, less than 3 months before my Cabo trip… and #bodygoals isn’t going to happen on its own lol. Thanks for sharing these chic workout clothes with us! xo, sharon

You hardly need to workout babe, but if you do, definitely do it in cute fitness wear like Albion. =) They really set the tone for you to work harder in the gym. Plus even if I don’t hit the gym, I look stylish in these while running errands.
You’re not shallow at all, you’re just saying out loud what most people don’t dare to. Of course looking good matters no matter where you are and I’d like to go as far as to say especially at the gym. It somehow motivates you to work out even harder. I’m glad you got to work with Albion Fit as they apparently make gorgeous clothing you can wear both in and outside the gym. 🙂

Hehe Thomas! They definitely make casual chic look good and I love not having to think about what to wear when I pull these pieces on. They are great for everyday wear and also for the gym.
I can see why those are your favourite! They’re super versatile and chic! Perfect athleisure look for casual or errands days! You always style every outfit perfectly!

Thanks Rina! They definitely are versatile and even when I am not working out, you can still find me in these leggings and soft tee.
Those pieces are super cute! And flattering too!
These definitely are flattering especially the leggings! I love this bomber too. Not only is it on trend it is perfect to wear everyday (even without workout clothes).
It’s not shallow at all to feel good when you look good! It’s essential!! hahah Nice recommendation! Thanks!

Oh this is incredible; I’m inspired and excited to go to gym next month. I would totally love to follow your style since I idolize your fashion sense even working in out. Now I am motivated to do it! Ajah! 😀
xo, Katrina | https://katrinaisha.wordpress.com/
You look amazing in all of this! The gradual shift towards athleisure is everywhere right now and you’re killing it!! These are definitely pieces that I could see myself wearing and ps, those grey leggings are the bomb!

Wow, you look gorgeous?! Are you working out like this?! WOW!! That is my inspiration, go girl!! Big Xx Susanne – http://bagatyou.com
Oh my gosh you definitely made me giggle with your first paragraph! I’m the exact same way – I love to know I look good when I’m at the gym.. it helps me be more motivated haha! And your requirements for activewear is definitely the same as me as well! Totally love these pieces from Albion. They have so many great choices!!
Stephanie // SheSawStyle.com
Seriously so true, i 100% feel more mot
Oppps! I was saying… 100% agree. If I’m wearing a cute workout outfit I’m that much more motivated to work out and if I look flgoodnib the outfit (cute butt yes please) well then there’s half the battle. I’m loving this brands philosophy and that it is by women. Always love supporting other female entrepreneurs. I’ll def check them out and thanks for the discount code! Yei
I am the same though, I feel more put together and motivated with an activewear outfit that works for me. I love these joggers, those are so cool for after the workout. There is a real culture here of people wearing active wear but never really working out. They just like to look like they do, but instead are meeting people for coffee or doing the school drop off run. So strange.

Just your activewear would motivate me to be more active if I already wasn’t; it’s so chic. I love the popping neutral colors in it 🙂

High waisted anything is my jam! I really need some more high waist leggings to keep everything tucked in. Those gray leggings are perfect in fit and style! I love the athleisure loungewear too. I wish I could see a photo of the back of the sports bra. I like longer ones too bc you can wear them with the high waist leggings without being too revealing. You look great and I hope to look this good after I have a couple of kiddos!!!
You make sporty so so chic! I love those pants.

oh Christine, you make even working out so chic! i would so work out in this cute outfit!! always gorgeous 🙂

You look gorgeous babe! and those leggings ( the first outfit ) do make your butt super cute hehe I’ve browsed Albion Fit website before and was really loving so much stuff. I love the fact that the leggings are high waisted. I swear by anything high waisted lately, but especially for the gym, it’ll hold everything in place! The second outfit is such a cute athleisure look! Always love your tips and thanks for that amazing giveaway!

Omg, I just ordered few pieces from them and happy to read your blog, because you loved it! Both outfits are perfect and I can see their fabric is really good as well. I can’t believe how chic you look even in work out gears!
http://www.queenhorsfall.com
I absolutely agree with you about feeling better and working out better when I look my best. I don’t think it’s a shallow thing, I think it’s all about wanting to present your best self to the world. The clothes from Albion are perfect and I loved your list of must haves for workout wear. You look so gorgeous in both the workout clothes and the street wear. This brand is impressive and I’m glad for this introduction to it.
Your outfit is on fire! And yes, I feel good when I look good, even to work out, so I hear you! xo, Jessica thisseasonsgold.com
I love both outfits so much. Besides looking fit and great, you do look so chic. I used to exercised every day and was quite obsessed with it. All my outfit attires for the gym are Nike. Albion has some stylish fit that after seeing your pictures would love to check them out. Thanks for sharing such amazing pieces, Christine! hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Albion’s athletic wear looks so chic and comfortable! I love a good pair of workout leggings so I will definitely need to check this company out. Love that you paired it so casually with a beanie! Also the sweats look super comfortable too! That hoodie is super cute with that floral design. It’s such a change seeing you in more casual/comfy wear. Love it!

Hi Christine!
I totally agree with in terms of I’ll feel good when I look good. That’s why this year my main goal is to lose weight. I gotta admit since blogging started it’s been hard to say no to free food. hahaha but luckily thanks for people like you who motivates me to lose weight. You look amazing and fit! you’re such goals. I love that workout gear you’re wearing. I should check it out.

Love your workout outfit girl! Specially that legging! You sexy legs have pulled it off well! Love watching your workout snaps on snatchat from time to time! You should totally do a post on your workout routines !

YOU are one to talk babe, I need your hard core workouts to kick my butt into shape. I have no idea where you find the time! But seriously kudos to you!
I wish I could look as good as you in those workout clothes! But I love how you highlighted each unique detail of every piece and why you love them 🙂 Great idea to tie the top into a knot- a lovely way to add a tighter silhouette to a shirt that can also be worn loosely as well. Finally, I’m definitely feeling those joggers – I’m all about comfort so I can see myself wearing those 24/7! Thanks so much for a great review of this brand 🙂

Wow, their pieces are really stylish! I hate wearing gym clothes outside of the gym just because I feel I look sloppy or not as well put together but ughh everything is sooo cute. Looks like I’ll be doing a little shopping myself (and hopefully more exercising too). Thanks for sharing!
Athleisure is in! Definitely take advantage of it and wear gym clothes out! If you feel self conscious a great bomber or even a fur coat (if you’re in a colder area) with a a beanie will take gym clothes to instant streetstyle status. =)
Nice and perfect looking outfit..
