Why We're Taking Style Cues From The One and Only Flo Jo

Why We’re Taking Style Cues From The One and Only Flo Jo
By Dominique Hobdy · Updated October 23, 2020
In the midst of Black History Month, we’re taking some time to honor the style and grace of Florence Griffith Joyner, affectionately known as Flo-Jo. Not only was she a colossal talent and track & field legend —still holding the 1988 record she set for the 100m dash — she always managed to inject her personal style into her passion. Aside from being the fastest woman in the world, Flo-Jo was a true testament to the fact that sometimes achieving our biggest goals is partially about looking the part. We never saw Queen Flo-Jo without a custom “one legger’ bodysuit, cascading curls and her famously long and fabulous nails. There’s a reason Beyonce made it a point to honor her with a meticulously detailed replica of one of her more famous looks. We want you to take a page out of Flo-Jo’s book by investing in your fitness look to motivate and execute your goals. If you feel like you’ve been slacking, maybe the only thing that’s missing is the right look! Get fly like Flo-Jo with this stand-out gear and channel her champion ways on your next visit to the gym.
