What to Buy from Athleta When You’re Over 50
Are you familiar with the brand, Athleta? They were founded in 1998 and make clothing for “active women”. Sure, they have workout gear, but there’s so much more to them than just that. Today, I’m sharing what to buy from Athleta when you’re over 50 and aren’t planning on running a marathon anytime soon. These are cute, comfy, and for yes, for active women, but will go great for everyday activities. Did I mention they’re cute??
What To Buy From Athleta: My Favorite Purchases For Spring and Summer
A Pop Of Color – Retreat Linen Top and Wide Leg Pants
Nothing says spring quite like a breezy linen set, and this pink number is giving me all the warm-weather vibes! It’s easy, relaxed, and perfect for layering. The soft linen fabric and loose fit make it ultra-comfortable, and the bold pink color adds a fun, vibrant touch that screams springtime freshness. The top was a little too oversized, so I reordered a small, which fits perfectly.
Brooklyn Ankle Pants – The Perfect Mix of Casual and Dressy
You can never go wrong with navy and white; it’s timeless, elegant, and always looks polished. This outfit strikes that perfect balance between casual and put-together, making it easy to throw on and go while still looking chic. The striped top is a classic piece that can be worn for years to come. And, the ankle pants are fantastic for traveling since they seem to be wrinkle-resistant.
Trending for Spring & Summer – Stripes
If you love mixing sporty and chic elements, this outfit is for you. The wide-leg pants and sneakers keep things relaxed, while the satin tee adds a little polish. This is a great look for those days when you want to feel put-together without sacrificing comfort.
The stripe detail on the side elongates the legs, and the high-rise fit is flattering and easy to wear. Stripes are all the rage this spring and summer, so you’ll be right on trend.
Paradise Oversized Short Sleeve Top
This top feels like summer! Made with breathable linen and a touch of stretch, it’s got that loose, boxy fit that just floats over any bumps or lumps—ha! Two cute chest pockets and a high-hip length give it a relaxed feel that looks great with joggers or travel pants. Available in white and flax, and it’s super lightweight—perfect for warmer days!
Coaster Luxe Recover Sweatshirt
This one’s a dream for cozy days, especially after a walk or workout. Thumbholes, side slits, and a longer back give it that just-right relaxed fit. The reviews are glowing, and it’s the kind of everyday essential I’d reach for on a regular basis. It even makes leggings feel dressy! Available in lots of great colors.
Trekkie North Mid Rise 15″ Skort
Okay, this skort is great for my apple shape readers. You’ve got those great legs – show them! It’s got built-in shorts, a flattering mid-rise waist, and quick-drying fabric that makes it perfect for pickleball, walking the dog, or just running errands. Plus—yes, ma’am—it has pockets!
Skyline High Rise Tailored Short
If you’re looking for a dressed-up short that still feels like athleisure, this one’s for you. The tailored silhouette is great for pairing with tanks or blouses, and it’s got a hidden zip pocket in the back—so handy! The high waist gives a polished look without squeezing the bum. And I’m here for a breathable fabric that still holds its shape after sitting through a grandkid’s ball game!
Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pant
These are the same linen pants as the pink ones I styled above. The linen blend with a relaxed fit and wide leg is so breezy, so stylish! The elastic waistband makes them comfy enough for travel days, and they’re cute enough for dinner out after. They come in multiple colors, but I love this neutral olive branch color. Bonus: they’ve got pockets too!
Brooklyn Heights High Rise Cargo Pant
Yes, the cargo pant is back—and better than ever. These are made from super light material, and while they have a slight flare, they are straight legged for the most part. The side pocket is a must for cargo pants, but it doesn’t look bulky. They’re available in five colors and would be great for long car rides or when you’re spending the day at the airport.
Salutation Stash High Rise 7/8 Legging
Okay, maybe a few of you are running a marathon, lol. These leggings are a cult favorite for a reason! That fabric is buttery soft and holds you in without squeezing the life outta you. The high waist keeps everything smooth, and side pockets are perfect for your phone. They come in lots of shades and work great with longer tees or tanks. I’d wear these on repeat!
Transcend Square Neck Crop Sports Bra D-DD
This bra is proof that you can be supported and stylish. The square neckline is modern and flattering, and it’s made for D-DD cups (thank you, Athleta!). The fabric is breathable, stretchy, and feels like a second skin—perfect for yoga or a day of errands. Gurls, you won’t feel like you’re wearing a medieval corset in this one—promise!
Perfect Form Sports Bra D-DD
This light-impact sports bra is made for studio days—think barre, yoga, or stretching in the den while Joe hogs the TV. It’s made with VitaFree fabric that’s quick-drying and super breathable, plus the foam cups mold to your shape. The fit is close to the body and made just for D-DD cups, so it’s not bulky or squishy. I love that it comes in soft, pretty colors like mimosa pink and shadow blue!
And there you have it—my full scoop on what to buy from Athleta when you’re over 50. Whether you’re lounging, traveling, stretching, or styling up your everyday, these pieces are made to move with you and look fabulous doing it. Go treat yourself, Gurls—you’ve earned it!

Love the pink set on you. I will order the pants with the stripe and hope they are not too tight in the waist. I have an Athleta pair of lounge type pants and wear them probably 4 times a week. Great quality and style.
