Work It Out In AW77, The Greatest Sport Hoodie From Nike

Lisanne Silverman on Oct 5, 2009 10:16 AM PDT

You work hard- so should your clothes. The Nike AW77 hoodie

, named for Athletics West (Nike's elite track and field club that year) is Nike's hardest working hoodie yet. Crafted from water-resistant French looped cotton, it's supremely comfortable and durable. The head cushioning, fully lined multi-paneled scuba hood zips up to your chin to block out the elements. Day after day, wear after wear, the ribbed cuffs and waistband hold their shape, and the body and hood will keep their form-- they're designed by athletes, for athletes, after all. Not one detail has been spared, from the windproof zippers to the top-shelf pockets and drawcords. It's quilted with insulation for warmth where you need it, and not where you don't. The interior of the hoodie is clean, with no exposed edges, so it's all about comfort. Meet your new favorite hoodie at Nike, and show it what you're made of.

Get Physical In Fall's Gym-Inspired Looks

Lisanne Silverman on Sep 4, 2009 12:19 PM PDT

You don't have to run marathons or have a relationship with the Stairmaster to appreciate fall's athletic-inspired looks. Just look at Isabel Marant's fall '09 runway, where sweatshirt tees go from gym to glam when paired with layered skirts and embellished ankle boots. Alexander Wang has been taking sweatpants out of the gym for a few seasons now, and given their slouchy, not sloppy cut, they could almost pass as dress pants if worn with heels and a blazer- just don't tell your boss you slept in them the night before. On a budget? American Eagle and Free People can hook you up without the pricey membership. The key is to look for pieces with unexpectedly luxe touches (like cashmere or sequins), or pair casual ones with something more polished- in other words, leave the sneakers at home. Click the slideshow for more ways to get the look!

Slip-On Sneakers Offer The Ultimate Laceless, Low Maintenance ...

Alex Gambardella on Jul 9, 2009 8:17 AM PDT

Summer, whether or not you have the time off, is all about embracing laziness. After all, when it's this hot outside, it can be tough to even muster enough energy to rise from your lounge chair to get a refill on your lemonade. So naturally, you can't possibly be bothered to do something as strategic as tie your shoes every time you leave the house. But what if flip-flops aren't suitable for the situation at hand? Enter slip-on sneakers -- the athletic yet cute alternative when you want to keep things casual but don't want the hassle of unlacing or re-knotting each time you want to kick them off or slide them back on. Go for a tieless version of your trusty Converse Chuck Taylors, or if slides are more your style, take a look at these cute backless bikers from Bebe! Whichever brand you choose, whether made for speed or style, slip-ons are perfect for sliding on and off at the beach or slipping into in a snap when you're running late! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite pairs.

After all, 'tis the season of bangin' bods, so it's time to start working on yours!

Being wary about that first squat will all change once you see you can get sexy in style as both your fear of looking silly and the winter pounds will wither away in a winning workout wardrobe.
