Athleta

Walked in here the other day and loved everything I saw. Will definitely be trying out their leggings, which have great subtle patterns and a quality feel to them. The style is athletic-​wear mixed with either a casual feel or upscale feel — think non-​tacky quilting details on puff vests, for instance. I’m genuinely impressed with everything from the pom-​pom hats, leggings (people underestimate how valuable these are to gain a customer following), sweaters and shirts. Not to mention the sales staff were very nice. They were bought by Gap and I have to say, good call. Hats off to the designers, will be returning.
**Edit: The prices of these items try to rival Lululemon. $ 148 for a basic vest is a little over-​the-​top, considering that the quality and function isn’t even Mountain Hardwear warmth or durability. The steep price of $ 98 for leggings which go on «sale» for $ 78 isn’t exactly motivating. Take note from Nordstroms «Zella» leggings, or even Nike leggings, which are already established brands that don’t even have such high prices for a sale item.
