3 Style Hacks That Will Let You Rewear Your Workout Clothes All Day

New year, new roster of fitness classes — and let’s not forget the new activewear to match. Though we can’t deny the excitement of a badass new sports bra or yoga pants, those workout clothes become even more essential as you discover ways to wear them outside of the gym. Or even better yet, tap their potential as two-in-one pieces that can transition immediately from the locker room to whatever your iCal says is next.

If #barretobrunchgoals sums up your 2016 resolutions, look no further: We teamed up with fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff to show you three easy ways to rewear your workout clothes all day using pieces from her line of effortlessly chic athleisure, plus a few other faves from her current collection. If the outfits leave you feeling inspired, be sure to enter to win a $2000 shopping spree and a B+C kit + class combo. Our suggestion for what to do with the loot? Upgrade your stash of gym clothes from wear-once pieces to slay-all-day status. Here are three outfits to get you started:

Athleisure to Brunch: The Anti-Hoodie

A structured outer layer (read: not a hoodie) will make all the difference when it comes to pulling together your post-sweat look. Pair with your statement tank from class, roomy jeans and mules for a cool-girl touch that dresses things up to the perfect degree (and puts that yoga pedi front and center).

Rebecca Minkoff Neoprene Wes Moto Jacket ($198) + Rebecca Minkoff Fresh Juice Muscle Tee ($58), Zara Mid-Rise Cigarette Jean ($70), Gianvito Rossi Color Block Suede and Cork Mules ($330), American Apparel Nylon Pack Cloth Weekender Duffle Bag ($32), bkr Holiday Bottle ($35)

Athleisure to Work: Sweatpants to the Office

Clever layering is all it takes to make your sweatpants office ready: Throw an of-the-moment tunic top or boxy, midi-length LBD over the pair to chic them up instantly. During the rest of winter, add a tissue turtleneck to the mix to stay warm. Balance the high-low combo with heels and your sporty vest from before.

Rebecca Minkoff Mia Vest ($148) + Mango Side Slit T-Shirt ($50), J.Crew Tissue Turtleneck T-Shirt ($35), Ten Pieces Printed Track Pants ($75), Rebecca Minkoff Brie Heel ($150), Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Feed Bag ($325)

Athleisure to Date: A Double-Duty Top

A form-fitting top with stylish details like a peplum or even a crop top feels almost natural paired with a statement skirt as they do with yoga pants. Bring pops of color to other unexpected places like your bag and booties. Jazzy minimalist accessories will help seal the date-ready deal.

Rebecca Minkoff Vita Top ($78) + Topshop Chevron Stripe Wrap Skirt ($68), Rebecca Minkoff Bethany Heel ($325), Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C. Crossbody ($195), ASOS Swirl Hoop Earrings ($11), Bite Beauty Smashed Agave Lip Mask ($26)

The problem with workout clothes is that you can't just re-wear them the same way you re-wore that top from two days ago. You just sweat your butt off, and they stink. It's safe to say, once you wear a workout set, just throw them in the wash. But what if the amount of times you workout does not correlate with laundry day? It's safe to say you need to expand your workout wardrobe. If you want to avoid spending hundreds of dollars, but still want a variety of sets... to Amazon we go! Here are 12 dependable workout sets to add to your exercise wardrobe.

Amazon

A super simple, yet perfect set for any workout occasion. This ribbed two piece set is Amazon's Choice, and it's highly rated for it's quality. You can get this set in 28 different colors for $20. Personally, I have multiples of this set in a few different colors.

Amazon

OLCHEE Womens Workout Sets 2 Piece

There are so many options to choose from on Amazon, so I tend to trust a number one best seller! This acid washed combo is flattering on any body type. The waist tucks in your tummy during any type of workout, and the quality of the material is durable. While sifting through many radiant reviews, I decided to get one for myself, you can too for only $20.

Amazon

ENERBLOOM Womens Yoga Jumpsuits Workout One Piece Romper

Though this technically isn't a set, I am a sucker for a one-piece anything. Sometimes, it makes my life easier knowing there's only one component to my outfit — I can just toss it on and go. This super cute workout romper is stretchy, breathable, and it has pockets if you're wearing it on the go. It's available in six colors for $30.

Amazon

OQQ Women's 3 Piece Outfits

There is nothing I love more than variety. This workout set gives you two different top styles to pair with your shorts. The material is lightweight and sweat-proof, but will not stretch out. For $34, you get two different outfits and that alone is worth it to me.

Amazon

This set is giving me all the Y2K vibes. Super breathable, this set is made from stretchy material for optimal comfort. It's perfect for a yoga or pilates class. Honestly, this set could also be worn just lounging around the house, too. Add this to your workout wardrobe for only $20.

Amazon

Buttergene Women Workout Set

This is a great option if you prefer long sleeves when working out. This particular set is very snug, and it hugs you in all the right places — great for activities like running.

Amazon

RXRXCOCO Seamless Workout Set

What a fun strappy to add to your collection! This highly rated set caught my eye for the top alone — I mean that back is gorgeous — but upon further investigation, there's so much more to it. The quality of the material is both comfortable and fitting. Plus, if you like a scrunched booty short, you should absolutely get this set for only $22.

Amazon

SUUKSESS Women Seamless Ribbed Workout Set

If you opt for leggings versus workout shorts, this set is perfect for you. The fabric is thick, so it won't be see through and it will last. This unique workout top is a halter top, but still provides support in whatever activity you are doing. You can get this set for $28 — just keep in mind it runs small!

Last year, some of us celebrated the holidays apart from our families for the first time. COVID has brought with it many changes, some of them arguably positive (like increased flexibility to work from home), some difficult (such as the realization of vastly different political and social views between family and friends), and some horrible (obviously, the health implications of a global pandemic). However, for some of us, celebrating the holidays without family members isn't exclusively due to COVID. In addition to so many of us living in different areas than our families of origin, some of us simply don't have close bonds with the people we grew up around. Sometimes, this can cause loneliness.

If you're not close with your family members, the holidays can be a difficult time. This is doubly true if you don't have a close circle of friends to call upon. But make no mistake, if this sounds like your situation, you're not alone — there are thousands of other people going through the same struggles you are. We sat down with Irad Eichler, founder of Circles, a website that connects people who are sharing similar struggles, like heartbreak, grief, or loneliness. Here are some of Eichler's tips for coping — and even thriving! — during the holiday season when you're not planning on spending it with your family, for one reason or another.

Don't Fall For "Perfect Families" On Social Media

Laura Chouette

The first VERY important step to having a joyous holiday season when you're going it alone is to stop believing the narrative that others' family situations are perfect, Eichler says.

"Remember people only post a moment in time, and only the moments when they look their happiest and best."

In addition to the fact that everything you see on social media is curated for the 'gram, it's also important to remember that by focusing on what others have and you lack, you risk failing to see the great things at play in your own life.

"These holiday periods can become a time of focusing on who and what we don't have, rather than who or what we do, and can cause a negative spiral into depressing and dreadful feelings of inadequacy," says Eichler.

Gratitude is the reason for the season, after all. So instead of only seeing the negative, try some gratitude journal prompts to help you focus on what's actually really wonderful about your life right now.

Make An Effort To Deepen New Connections

Joel Muniz

While it may seem like everyone has friends and family to spend time with during the holiday season, that doesn't mean no one is available for deepening a blossoming relationship or new friendship.

"Make a list of people you can or would like to connect with, and try to reach out to at least one of them," advises Eichler.

Reaching out doesn't have to mean a big plan or an hour-long conversation. Even a quick text letting a friendly coworker know you're thinking about them can go a long way toward deepening the relationship and moving it in the direction of closer friendship.

Don't have an acquaintance in mind? Then it's time to make new acquaintances. What's more in line with the Christmas spirit than attending a Meetup or event full of people eager to make new friends?

"Join groups with similar interests to yours, such as hiking, baking, or games. Push your boundaries and be brave - you might find new people who have much in common with you."

Give Back

Priscilla Du Preez

The holiday season is a great time to focus on giving back to your community, and coincidentally, acts of generosity and kindness are known to reduce loneliness and help people feel happier. One study found that knowing a few of your neighbors and doing small acts of kindness for them — such as cheering them up, listening to them, mowing their lawn, providing advice about local business recommendations and job opportunities, and chatting over the fence — was statistically correlated with feeling less lonely and having a lower risk of depression.

Helping out elderly neighbors can be a particularly gratifying way to give back.

"Notice older lonely people in your neighborhood or community who might have no family at all, and offer to help them," says Eichler. "These can become mutually meaningful connections, and help you 'adopt' a grandparent."

Connect With Others Online

Thought Catalog

Finally, use the Internet for its highest and best purpose: to connect people. Whether you're using Meetup to find in-person events, digital forums for having conversations about special interests, or programs like Circle for getting support from others in your situation, the opportunities to create new connections are practically endless.

"There are many interest groups that can be found digitally, where or any person can connect with others in the same life stage, going through the same challenges, or who would like to explore the same interests," Eichler states. "Meaningful connections can be formed easily in these circumstances. The Internet enables us to find and connect to people all over the world who fit this, and to whom we can become more easily attached, as we are able to find people with the exact interests that energize us."

I don't spend my whole life in workout clothes, so its hard to justify spending $90 on a single sports bra. But, I still want cute workout clothes that are good quality and provide great support. So, I did some digging on Amazon and found 8 sports bras that do just that... without the massive price tag.

Amazon

Champion Sports Bra

This sports bra is the best solution for the bustier girlies that need extra support when working out! Champion has always provided quality and comfort when it comes to women's sportswear, so I am not surprised by the thousands of positive things customers have to say about this bra! It's designed with adjustable cushioned straps, cup support, and fairly tight compression.

This bra is currently available for $36 (was $48) in sizes all the way up to 42DDD.

Amazon

CRZ Yoga Strappy Sports Bra

Amazon strikes again with the perfect dupe! In this case, it's Lululemon. Everyone raves about the quality of this sports bra being identical to the nearly $60 dollar one from Lulu. It's made for medium support, but still provides some compression. You can remove the padding inside, too, if you prefer more stretch. Additionally, it literally comes in any color under the sun (39 different ones, to be exact) for only $26.

Amazon

Hanes X-Temp Wireless Bra

Yogis unite! If you are in need of some low-impact support, look no further than this comfy Hanes sports bra. According to customers, this bra is snug, but not too tight, and is incredibly soft. I would recommend a bra like this one if you have a smaller chest! It comes in a 2-pack for just $15!

Amazon

The Gym People Sports Bra

This longline sports bra has been an Amazon #1 best seller for a while now! And I understand why, because I own multiple of these in several colors. Not only does this product act as a sports bra, it can be an everyday top, especially in the summer when you're out running errands. You get the support and quality of a performance bra, and the style of incorporating it into an outfit. Get yours in one of 29 colors for just $23.

Amazon

Syrokan Sports Bra

If you are a runner girl, this is the sports bra for you. This is a no-bounce running bra, which your back will thank you for. This sports bra is great for any high-impact athletic activity, or if you are just looking for some extra support in the day-today. Because it is a tighter fit, I recommend sizing up. You can get this bra in several colors and patterns for $32.

Amazon

Warner's Easy Does It Comfort Bra

Sometimes, a seamless and stretchy sports bra is all you need, especially if you don't require as much support, but want to ensure a comfy workout. This one comes in 15 colors and can be worn for a workout or simply around the house. The best part is it's only $18!

Amazon

Puma Seamless Sports Bra

Puma delivers on a classic, reliable sports bra with this style. With perfect support and a great fit on anyone, people are loving this Puma bra. It's a timeless and sexy brand that provides great athletic wear in general! The back of the bra has crossed straps that can be adjusted for extra support. This seamless bra comes in a couple different styles, and in either grey or black for $18.

Amazon

Baomosi Seamless Racerback Sports Bra

This is a really reliable sports bra for an affordable price. It's good for low- to medium-impact activities, such as strength training or yoga. However, the quality and comfort are things that were most highlighted the reviews. It comes in a couple of vibrant colors, and along with this grey, it also comes in a basic black. You can purchase the bra individually, or shop it in a two pack or three pack. One bra is just $14!

Zach Bryan and Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia's explosive breakup is everywhere right now. From his seemingly one-sided social media posts to all the bombshell revelations she keeps dropping, it's clear this split is NOT amicable. Both parties are dropping tons of lore, info, and everything in between — including new music?! — right now, so it makes sense if you can't keep up. Luckily, I'm here to help break this breakup down for you! Here's everything you need to know about Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry's relationship...or lack thereof.

October 22, 2024 – Zach Bryan Announces His Breakup With Brianna Chickenfry

On October 22, 2024, after some recent speculation that Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry split up, Zach took to his Instagram stories. The country star said, "Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I'll always thank her."

He continued, noting, "I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna's privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too."

To wrap it all up, he closed by apologizing to his fans. He said, "With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself."

Brianna hopped on her own Instagram stories shortly there after. She posted, "Hey guys I'm feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I'm ready I'll be back and ready to talk. I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything's always gonna be okay 🫶"

The Brianna got on Youtube next, posting a raw, emotional video about the situation. Sitting on the floor of her bathroom, she opened up as much as she could in the moment about her breakup. She said, "I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up. He didn't text me, he didn't call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts, like, 'Are you okay?'"

Brianna, with her teary eyes and red face, explained she's been crying for "five days straight." She said, "I'm at the point where it's like, how can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally, like through stuff that you shouldn't because you just love them and you want them... like you see the good in them?"

The internet personality said that this is all "so embarrassing" and "really, really heartbreaking." She elaborated that the couple broke up on October 21, but wanted to process on her own and "didn't want it to be public."

Much like her Instagram story, she told her audience that she'll come back when she's ready.

November 7, 2024 — Brianna Claims Zach's Emotionally Abusive, Wanted $12Mil NDA

Well, it appears this week, Brianna decided she's ready. On Barstool Sports' BFF's Pod November 7, 2024, Brianna gave an inside look at the breakup unlike any other. Not only did she claim Zach was abusive, but she also alleged that he offered her a $12 million NDA to "not talk about the relationship."

After saying it's been the hardest year of her life, she said. "I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him. My brain's rewired and I'm scared to make him mad and last week, I didn't want to talk about it 'cause I was scared."

Brianna then described the alleged emotional abuse. She noted that everything was cyclical and that he would build her up only to break her back down again. "There was always another excuse as to why he was treating me so poorly and why I'm crying myself to sleep every night, why he's screaming at me," she said. "And then you wake up, it's the apology, it's the 'I'm going to be better like I need you in my life,' but if you've been through this — I don't expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven't been through it. I hope you never have to go through it but if you've been there you know what I'm talking about."

Not only does Brianna allege she was offered an NDA, but she said that other women that came before her had to sign their own agreements. She declined the offer because she didn't want to "sign away [her] experiences and what [she] went through to protect someone that hurt [her]." She also wanted to share this experience for other women who've suffered something similar.

And when it comes to the logistics of losing out on the famous lifestyle and alleged $12 million? She said, "It was never about the money — I was with the dude because I loved the dude."

November 8, 2024 — Zach Quit Touring Amid Abuse Allegations

On November 8, 2024, Zach posted on Instagram — where he clearly loves to share all his big news — that not only is his new single "High Road" out today, but that he's also ending his tour early. Read his full statement here:

After not being home for a year and a half I drove out to my mothers gravestone in the dead of night a few days back on familiar Oklahoma roads and I came to realize just like in the past, that she never would call me again

Told her I quit touring because I got accepted to get my masters in Paris next year, I told her I was back in Oklahoma, told her about all my best friends in New York and all the nights we howled with the moon, told her about the immeasurable laughter my band and me have shared these last five years, all the calluses on my finger tips, every tear shed, told her about making it on The Rolling Stone and most importantly told her about porch swinging with my beautiful sister.
I wrote the chorus for this song a month or two back and finished it when I realized I was blessed with all these things.

I figured it was about time I released it.

Thank you guys for listening to ‘This Worlds a Giant’ last night and thank you to all the people who love me; who have truly carried the weight with me.

Seems that all these Quiet Dreams have gotten much too heavy but I’m home now and I’ll hold you through the pain.

High Road is out today and I appreciate all of you"
