37 Autumnal Activewear For Chilly Outdoor Workouts

The weather is cooling down and that means it's time to start bundling up. You may think that doesn't apply so much when you're sweating it out on leg day but you'd be surprised. You'll be especially glad you layered up during warmups and cooldown periods. The annoying thing often about this, however, is that you look (and feel) way less cute than you would in the summertime. Fortunately, with the varied selection of activewear available to us these days, there are easy ways to remedy that.

Below, I've compiled a list of my go-to 'athleisure' styles. Among my all-time favorites are the fleece-lined joggers (so comfy), long sleeves with cut-out or lace designs in the back (these make for such an easy outfit flip when going between the gym and brunch) and the cutest, coziest socks that genuinely make mornings less miserable. After all, happy feet = happy me.
