I got my first pair of Sweaty Betty's power leggings last fall, which I wrote about here. More than 6 months later, they're still one of my go-to pairs of bottoms. Since then, I've added two more pairs of power leggings to my repertoire. I styled them two (completely!) different ways in this post, and at the end I'll share notes on fit and function. Disclosure: the printed power leggings in ...

Active Fashion Picks for Spring

Since they're ...

Activewear ripoffs. We need to talk about them. Knockoffs have been a problem in fashion for ages, but it's only recently started to infiltrate the world of active fashion. As the activewear market has grown by leaps and bounds, businesses are on the lookout for easy ways to cash in on this popular niche. Producing and selling copycats of successful active designs is emerging as a ...
