Life as a mom is rarely calm. In fact, it can often seem like there’s never enough time in the day to take care of your children and home, much less yourself! And in all that hustle, moms often throw on whatever they can find without a second thought about whether it’s comfortable, functional, or stylish.

As a mom-founded and women-run company, we know the struggle you’re going through! But we’re here to tell you that you don’t have to embrace the “messy mom” look just yet. In this guide, we will show you the secret to getting ready effortlessly while feeling comfy and chic using functional activewear from Stelle. We’ve created tons of stylish activewear for moms to help you find better balance through this busy time of life.

But we know you’re busy, so let’s get right to it!

 

Why Activewear Is a Busy Mom’s Best Friend

We love athleisure and activewear because they’re incredibly versatile. The athleisurewear movement isn’t just about comfortable workout clothes—it’s about stylish pieces you can wear to school events, running errands, or chasing your kids around the house. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to be wearing a workout-friendly outfit when you find 10 minutes of peace to fit in a quick fitness sesh!

That’s why mom-friendly activewear is the way to go! When you intentionally build your wardrobe with everyday activewear pieces that don’t look like they belong in the gym, you can effortlessly transition them between a yoga class, a night with the girls, or school drop-offs.

Plus, you’ll be able to embrace each chaotic day in comfort, function, and style—without skipping a beat.

 

What to Look for in Stylish and Functional Activewear

It is important to remember that not all activewear is created equal—especially for moms. You need items that are comfortable, flattering to your shape, low-maintenance, and non-restricting. So, it’s not just about finding stylish workout clothes but ones with the right fabric to suit your current lifestyle.

Let’s look at some critical features of functional workout clothes for moms:

  •       Comfort & Fit: You want to look good and feel good all day, so comfort and fit are critical. A great choice is high-waisted leggings in a medium-weight fabric. It’s thick enough to hide cellulite without cutting off your circulation, and high waists do wonders for hiding any post-baby belly. Supportive bras are also necessary, especially if you change bra sizes after childbirth. Proper support will help prevent backaches or uncomfortable bouncing while you go about your day. 
  •       Moisture-wicking Fabric: Raising kids can be a messy job. Whether you’re playing out in the yard, cleaning up the house, or wiping off the latest round of spit-up, it can feel like you’re always covered in sweat or other liquids. That’s why moisture-wicking fabric is so important! It’ll help you stay cool while you’re busy and dry off faster from any mid-day cleanups.
  •       Stretch & Flexibility: Being a mom requires a lot of movement, from picking up toys and children to hustling through the store, so fabrics that move with you are a must! You want stretchy and breathable fabrics that also pass the squat test. This is another reason we love medium-weight fabrics—they’re super-stretchy without being see-through or restricting.
  •       Easy-Care: Last but certainly not least, you need clothes that don’t require special attention. When you barely have time to get dressed and do your kids’ laundry, you certainly can’t be dropping things off at the dry cleaners or running separate cycles! That’s why you want low-maintenance styles and fabrics that you can throw in the wash like everything else, even after a messy day.

Here are a few reviews from women who love Stelle!

“These are for the moms in the housssssssssse!!!!! If you are looking for a lightweight, semi-stretchy, semi-painted on my big thigh spandex- this is the money shot! It holds in the FUPA, rounds the behind, and is a nice calf-ish length, so my swollen ankles aren't. Looking for something a little professional, pair these with a nice flowy blouse- they are that JET black and sleek, they'd fit right in with a little pump or sandal.” –Tricia

“These are all I wear anymore. They are my favorite. They work great under my clothes for work, they are great in the gym and even as cute top in the summer. SO comfortable.” –Carolyn

“These really did it for me! 7 weeks post-partum, and I needed a little extra tummy support. The material is stretchy and breathable but helps me feel confident :)” –Jean

“I absolutely love this shirt. The material is incredibly soft and gives off that Lululemon vibe. I got it in white, and let me tell you, it's not see-through at all. This lightweight top is perfect for workouts or just for everyday wear. It fits true to size and is super stretchy, too.” --Perry

How to Style Your Activewear for Maximum Versatility

If you’re wondering how to revamp your workout clothes for daily wear, don’t worry! We’ve got some great tips on how to style activewear so it looks like a fashionable outfit with minimal effort. We also have a complete blog guide of activewear styling tips if you have a few spare minutes to dive in. But for now, here are some basic principles:

  •       Create a foundation of neutral colors like black, navy, and gray. Bright colors tend to look like workout clothes, while neutral colors are easier to transition to daily activities.
  •       Mix and match textures to help disguise your activewear. For example, pair your favorite leggings with an oversized sweater for a chic and comfy look for girls’ nights and casual events.
  •       Add on layers for extra style points. Layers are very “in” right now, and a cute jacket or cardigan quickly elevates leggings from comfy to chic for school pick-ups and errands.
  •       Don’t forget to accessorize! We know you’re in a rush, but if you can throw on a cute hat, a pair of earrings, or even a stylish crossbody bag, you’ll take our outfit up a notch.
