Sporty Chic • How To Wear SweatGear Leggings To Work (and beyond)

October 10, 2019

SweatGear designed by Minnette • Hello Smart Blog

Yes, it may sound odd to sport your trusty SweatGear gym leggings to the office. BUT when dressed up with work-wear pieces, these sporty chic bottoms can be the secret to creating a polished-yet-comfortable look. For anyone who thinks leggings are strictly for working out, take a look at Chanel and Prada’s Spring/Summer 2019 runways. Both featured leggings and bike shorts! If there’s anything these designer examples have taught us, it’s that the comfortable staple is not only quite on point from a fashion-forward sense, but it has a proper place alongside your polished wardrobe pieces.

Gen Z Yellow

February 27, 2019

Ever since Pantone dubbed “Rose Quartz” color of the year back in 2016, it’s been *the* hue of a social media-minded generation of millennials. Invading every facet of their lives, from beauty products and home goods (yes, millennial pink trash cans exist) to technology (at this point, who doesn’t have a pink iPhone case?).

Smartgirl Street Style • Twinning

May 28, 2018

Introducing Twinning – The Street Style Trend For Two Every season it’s something new. Some hot-ticket item no style blogger or editor worth her Gucci Princetown slippers will be seen at fashion week without. A few years ago it was a Kenzo sweatshirt; shortly after, a Chanel Lego purse. Then came the fluffy Fendi bag charms. Don’t let the ‘it’ item’s ubiquity in street style galleries fool you – such pieces typically carry a hefty price tag only the Chiara Ferragnis and Anna Dello Russos of the world can afford. Until now. This year, the ultimate street style bait is…
