Sneak Peek of lucy Activewear Spring Collection

I attended a fun event last week, a preview of the lucy Activewear Spring collection. Despite being sad I could not partake in the champagne part of the event, it was fun to be in such a beautiful space – the penthouse of The Standard Hotel in the East Village – and see some beautiful workout clothes.

Disclaimer: I was not compensated to write this post, but lucy was kind enough to give me a cute pair of pants and if I wasn’t pregnant I totally would have had a free glass of champagne as well. Just keeping it on the up-and-up!

As soon as I saw the clothes, I was making a mental list for what to put on a wish list for post-baby workout gear! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll probably recognize the photo above of some of the Spring looks. But they’re not available until January, so instead I’m sharing a few pieces I loved from the lucy Holiday lookbook.

I admit, I wasn’t familiar with the brand – I’d heard of it, but didn’t have any of their clothes or know much about them. Here’s what I was impressed with:

• The quality of the fabric: It felt weighty and like it was the kind of stuff that would last through countless workouts and  washing.
• The colors: I loved the Spring colors – the pale acid greens and yellows, mixed with grey (and a healthy dose of purples, too). The Holiday line has a lot of blues, grays and a gorgeous peach shade throughout.
• The versatility: This was a big selling point for me. A lot of the lucy pieces are obviously designed for not only working out, but for looking cute too and from the gym, or just hanging out – they even use the hashtag #wearever. Given that I am in workout clothes about 80% of the time, it is a huge bonus if they are actually stylish and fashionable as well.

Hands down, my favorite piece is this cute top, the Lean and Mean Pullover, priced at $79:

See what I mean about versatility? It would look just as good running errands or doing mama stuff as it does as a workout layer.

Another standout for me was the relaxed fit Get Going pant, $89. Apparently I’m not the only one who loves these – it’s one of their best-selling pieces.

Another top I loved that I think would be super bump-friendly is this layering piece, on the right, the Yoga Girl Pullover, $79. I’m all about layering for winter and I love this criss-cross wrap detail. The outfit on the left includes the Perfect Core Bra, $55, and Novelty Perfect Core Legging, $108. Without giving too much away, the Spring looks coming out in January are based on the idea of ‘Highrise’ – so they’re all about city style, but also play with rise and length. So a legging with a higher rise and a bra with a longer torso might be the updates to this look… 😉

Also loving all the cute back detail on lots of the lucy tops. Check out the  Dashing Stripes L/S top, $69, on top; and the Feel the Beat Tank, $59, on bottom. Also shown in the bottom image are the Yoga Girl leggings, $89, which I love for the color-block detail as well. I need to also point out that the Russian Twist exercise shown with the medicine ball in this image is one of the exercises I often see performed incorrectly by people when I’m at the gym.

And I pretty much just want to move in to The Standard. Look at those views!

You can shop for lucy activewear on their website and they’re also available on Amazon or Dick’s Sporting Goods. No NYC stores yet, but they’re looking for spaces! Woo hoo!

How often can you be found in workout clothes?

Have you heard of lucy before? Do you have any of their clothes?
