First Lady Style: Fit & Fab!

Hints of warm weather are on the horizon! Take cues from Mrs. O on how to look cute while you get in shape.

By Celia L. Smith · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Red Hot

Colorblocking is even cooler and unexpected with sports apparel, just take a look at this red and black combo the First Lady is wearing. Find a bold track jacket to play up a dark work-out look like hers.

Work It Out!

Work-out pieces don’t necessarily have to scream “gym.” If it looks great outside of gym, like this zip-up look Mrs. O’s sporting, all the better.

03
White Out!

If there’s one thing we learned from Olivia Pope and Michelle Obama in this look, is that white is one of the freshest colors to work-out in.

It’s Electric

Pair popping shades with neutrals for a boost of energy.

Back To Black
All-black translates as chicn even through gym gear. When all else fails, pile all of the black pieces together in your closet for a fab look like the First Lady’s.

06
Color Coded
Get pumped up for your workout by sporting everyday colors that complement you. Mrs. O looks great in purple outside of the gym, so it’s a no-brainer she would be lighting up the gym in this shade.

Color Cure

Livelier colors are bound to make you more energetic for your work-out. The bolder, the better.

Spring Cleaning

As you clean your closet for spring, lighten up your work-out palette as well.

Blocked Out

Like Michelle Obama’s jewel tone look, create your own colorblocking moment by mixing each piece in a different color.

T-Shit Chic

Pair your everyday T-shirts with your track pants to get the most out of your wardrobe.

On The Run

Casual outings to the park call for casual clothes and Chuck Taylors.

Put A Cap On It

A cute cap sleeved style from your closet sweetens up sporty track pants.

Short Stuff

Play with lengths for various activities. If you’re bike riding like the First Lady is here, try knee shorts with a tank.
