My All-Time Favorites from Athleta.

I know I talk about it a lot, but a good chunk of my wardrobe is from Athleta. They make great options for workout and work-from-home (there's a lot of cross-over tbh) as well as the absolute best pants for travel. Here is a short list of my very favorite pieces, including one new purchase:

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Ahem…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.

    1. Thanks! I'm pretty sure I've bought some of that stock via eBay! (I always wondered where they got it.)

  4. I 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!
