It’s almost time for back to school, and at my kid’s ages, it also means the mom taxi goes back into full rotation! From school drops offs to dance to baseball then back home I want to be in comfy clothes that I can wear all day and that’s where athleisure is my friend!
Now since Spanx came out with their popular Air Essentials line more and more similar feeling styles have been popping up. At Walmart it’s the Scoop Scuba line, Amazon Ododos Modal line and now Target has the Airy Sleek line. All of these have that marshmallow soft feel while being warm and light all at the same time. At Spanx what I’ve never found a good alternative for are their athletic dresses, I wear them almost daily and are worth every penny for the non rolling, long enough shorts and easy access back.
Vuori is another higher end brand that I’m finally seeing some affordable options for that feel very similar to the popular performance and villa fabrics. CRZ and Ododos on Amazon have been the closest feeling I’ve found outside of some Zella pieces.
Here’s some of my favorite outfits that will take me now and into fall!
