Winter Athleisure You’ll Want to Live In: Athleta Sale Picks You Can’t Miss

How to Stay Active in the Cold Without Sacrificing Comfort

When the temperature drops, it’s easy to want to hibernate—I know I’m tempted to stay wrapped up in a blanket with a hot cup of coffee! But staying active (and stylish) in the winter can actually make these chilly months a little more enjoyable. That’s why I was so excited to see some fabulous finds on the Athleta Winter Warm-Up sale. These pieces are cozy, versatile, and perfect for layering—whether you’re heading out for a brisk walk, running errands, or just curling up at home.

Why Staying Active Matters (Especially for Women Over 50)

Staying active is about so much more than just burning calories. For women over 50, it’s such a boost for overall well-being. Regular movement helps improve flexibility and balance, which are key as we age. It boosts your mood (hello, endorphins!), keeps your heart healthy, and even helps maintain bone density. Plus, it’s a great way to stay social—a brisk walk with a friend can do wonders for your body and spirit. And let’s be honest, nothing beats that post-workout glow and sense of accomplishment.

Winter Athleisure That Works for Every Day

Let’s be real—finding clothes that look good and feel good can be a challenge, especially when it’s freezing outside. But Athleta’s pieces are the perfect solution. They’re comfortable enough for lounging but polished enough to make you feel put together. These aren’t just workout clothes—they’re life clothes, and I’m here for it!

I’ll admit it—it’s hard to stay motivated to move when it’s so cold that you can see your breath! But I’ve found that having the right gear makes all the difference. Here are a few tips that help me stay active during the winter:

• Dress in layers: Start with something lightweight and breathable, like a long-sleeve top, and add a warm jacket or vest.
• Invest in cozy fabrics: Athleta’s pieces are so soft and warm, it’s like wearing a hug. Their joggers and zip-ups are perfect for layering.
• Focus on indoor movement: When it’s too cold to go outside, I’ll hop on the treadmill or do a quick yoga session. These outfits transition seamlessly from outdoor to indoor activities.

Cozy Yet Polished for the Outdoors

This first look is my go-to for when I need to get outside but still want to feel warm and comfortable. The half-zip pullover and joggers combo is like a wearable blanket, but it doesn’t look sloppy—it’s relaxed but polished. Add the quilted lightweight puffer for an extra layer of warmth, and you’re good to go for a walk or running errands.

The Aire Puffer Parka in Feather is a lightweight yet warm jacket that’s perfect for chilly days. I found the large too big on me, even over the sweatshirt, so I’d recommend sizing down if you’re in between sizes. It’s a versatile piece that layers well, making it ideal for outdoor errands or brisk walks in winter weather.

This color is selling out quickly, and the sizes are very limited. However, grab the black version because it is just a versatile and lightweight, and it will be the next to go.

I’m wearing the Forever Fleece 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt in Pyrite paired with the Forever Fleece High Rise Jogger in the same color. Both pieces are incredibly cozy and feel like wearing a warm hug. However, they do run oversized. The large was too big for me, and I’d recommend sizing down to a medium for a better fit. Together, these pieces create a relaxed, polished look that’s perfect for lounging or casual outings.

From Gym to Lounging in Style

Let’s talk about this matching set! The zip-up hoodie and joggers are soft, stretchy, and oh-so-comfy. It’s the kind of outfit you can wear to the gym, then straight to the couch without skipping a beat. I love pairing it with a simple tank underneath for layering, especially if I’m heading to an indoor workout. Plus, it’s cute enough to wear out if you need to run a quick errand.

This set is definitely one of my favorites from Athleta’s sale—and if you love matching sets as much as I do, you’ll want to check out their other options while they’re discounted.

The Softluxe Crop Hoodie in Pyrite Feather Heather is a soft, cozy piece with functional zip pockets that I absolutely love. However, it fits on the smaller side and feels tight, so I’d suggest sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.

The matching Softluxe High Rise Jogger is in the same color and size. They aren’t oversized like the sweatpants, but I still needed to size them down to a medium. These joggers are stretchy, comfortable, and great for everything from gym sessions to lounging at home. I love how this set transitions seamlessly from activewear to relaxed downtime, making it a winter wardrobe staple.
