8 Outfits To Kick This Weekend's Butt
Neon Fix
The Workout Way: We won't say that colorblocking your bike gear helps the ride, but it certainly can't hurt. We love how these shades clash with each other and the printed shorts. A SPIbelt will help you carry your keys and cellphone, but it's so thin you'll hardly notice you're wearing it as the miles tick by.

The Brunch Switchup: Pair high-waist trousers with a low and chunky heel, a crossbody bag, and top it off with your pale-blue vest from earlier in the day. The best part of this look, however, is the Alexander Wang sports bra with a triangular shape that channels the ultimate '90s crop-top queen: Gwen Stefani.

The Workout Way: If your fitness fashion is neither extremely body-con nor completely baggy, but it feels like your sweatpants are weighing you down, this slightly slouchy style and bright, body-skimming tank might be just the upgrade you need.

The Brunch Switchup: A long, white vest can transform a basic tee and gym pants (although, you don't have to tell anyone that's what they are) into something seriously polished. A few statement accessories make this look feel special as you head out for your pal's annual, fancy-pants rooftop mimosa toast.

The Workout Way: So, your headstand could use a little work, and maybe you napped a bit too much during savasana — it's okay! If you're looking to step up your game, sartorially speaking, bring in a few clever details to your practice, such as a belted shirt, leggings with sheer panels, and sneakers (strictly for commuting, of course) that have a sophisticated splash of color. Plus, an art-deco printed mat might just motivate you for the next series of downward dogs.

The Brunch Switchup: Ditch most of the tight stuff and throw on a loose maxi when you head out for your favorite breakfast sandwich and a walk through the weekend flea. Keep the colorful sports bra, to peek out from under the slinky dress, as well as the sneakers. After all, you've got a lot of browsing to do.

The Brunch Switchup: Should your morning match carry over into a Bloody Mary outing, swap in walkable flats, a structured jacket, and an easy-to-tote backpack — no gym bags, please. Choose neutral-colored accessories in solids or subtle prints, so as to not compete with your already standout ensemble.
