I've talked about (and worn) my Brooklyn Ankle Pants a ton. They're just a great, comfortable and lightweight option that are totally bullet-proof. They're washable, dry lightning fast and never need an iron. The Brooklyn are my #1 travel pants in warm months! I posted about them most recently here.
The Athleta Triumph Hoodie is a bit of an investment but it is WORTH IT. I have two and they are so well-made and comfortable and come in all kinds of good colors and patterns. Plus, you get sizable pockets, a warm collar, thumbholes, and a nice deep hood. I reviewed my leopard version here.
Ah, the Rainier tight. If you spend any time outside in the colder months, you should consider a pair. They're brushed inside for coziness and have secure zip pockets. I have a pair of the reflective version and they are super bright when light hits them! (Outdoor walkers/runnings, these are what you need.) I reviewed my pair here.
My favorite cozy around-the-house sweatshirt isn't on the site anymore but this Balance Pullover looks to be it's replacement. They do such a nice job with the elevated sweatshirt and I love the blue camo version. I reviewed mine here.
This is the Ultimate Train Tank and it's as close to perfection as you can get. It's high-necked, which is crucial, and just the right amount of loose-and-breezy without flapping around and getting in the way. I am mad because I missed it in the bright blue! Dang it.
I own and love the regular Chelsea Cargo pants (reviewed here but not currently available) and was super delighted when I realized there was a new lined version! I ordered a pair and they are PERFECT. Warm and cozy without being bulky and lots of good pockets. I'm going on a trip soon that involves a really long flight, so these will be ideal since they look cute but feel like pajamas. I'll post an outfit this week!
Finally, even though this is stupid and boring, I still think Athleta makes the best everyday cloth mask. I have two sets of the color set above and they wash really well and still look like new. I love that they're adjustable and aren't overly large. I bought my first set early in the pandemic and they're still going strong though if I'm being honest, I can't wait to burn them on a ceremonial bonfire.
I now own 3 pairs of the Brooklyn joggers/pants. One of them is the lined version, which is very cozy in this 40゚-ish weather we're having. Like you said, they have great pockets and they weigh nothing. I have their fleece pants and tights from years ago for when it gets snowy.
ReplyDeleteThe lined pants are pretty amazing!
DeleteAhem…if you are ever near Cincinnati, there is a Gap Warehouse clearance center where you can get Athleta merch (as well as Gap, Banana and ON) for nickels on the dollar. You have to be a savvy shopper (a lot of returned items or pilling/flaws) but worth the effort for the price.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm pretty sure I've bought some of that stock via eBay! (I always wondered where they got it.)
DeleteThanks for letting me know the reflective rainier pants are back! I purchased a pair of the new version as I LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteYay! They're the best.
DeleteI have three of these hoodies (well, I only had two until I saw that red one on sale last week!). It just fits SO good, and as someone with long arms, hoodies with long enough arms (AND a thumb hole!) are hard to come by. I am actually wearing the lined chelsea pants today - they are SO comfortable without looking like the magic pj material they're lined with!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I love these pants so much. I'm wearing them today too!
