Whether you're still riding the holiday high or diving into those resolutions, January brings its own special magic. While the festive sparkle has officially dimmed, there's something incredibly energizing about a fresh start – a time to dream big, set intentions, and of course, find the perfect outfits to match our ambitions. After putting my athleisure collection to the test, I can’t wait to share some cozy RBX winter combos that'll keep you stylish and comfortable as you chase those New Year's goals.
Nothing says "New Year energy" than a goal-setting coffee date with your bestie. While some of our grand plans might not make it past Valentine's Day, the excitement of dreaming big never gets old. I needed an outfit that felt cute and casual, but also that said, “I might hit the gym later… or not.” The winning combination? The Tech Flex Ultra Hold Legging and Uptown Fleece 1/4 Zip Mock Neck Tunic – perfect for sipping lattes and planning for the new year with your gal pal.
First off, the Tech Flex leggings are a revelation for those of us who like to look put-together while staying supremely comfortable. Made for high-impact workouts, these leggings feature moisture-wicking fabric and a supportive high waistband that keeps everything in place whether you're reaching for your latte or doing actual squats. The opaque fabric means no awkward transparency moments – because we've all been there, right?
Even though the winter chill was in full force when we strolled around the market square, I stayed perfectly cozy in the Uptown Fleece 1/4 Zip Mock Neck Tunic. It's the perfect top layer, with incredibly soft fleece fabric that's just right for brisk days. The longer hemline in back provides just the right coverage, and those perfectly placed pockets are essential for keeping your phone and lip balm close at hand.
Later, I decided to embrace the winter air further with a long walk along our local boardwalk that leads to the beach. The weather was crisp, but I stayed cozy by layering up with the Perfect Weekend Quilted Jacket over the Studio Practice Long Sleeve Tunic Tee. The Studio Practice Tunic Tee's super soft, stretchy fabric felt like butter against my skin, and the thumbholes kept my sleeves perfectly in place during my coastal jaunt.
The Perfect Weekend Quilted Jacket lives up to its name with its thoughtful design features. The curved lines and large grid quilted fabric add a touch of sophistication to the casual athleisure look, while the lightweight construction makes it perfect for layering without feeling like you're wearing a space suit. The ribbed wrist cuffs kept the coastal breeze at bay, and the longer back hemline meant I could sit on the boardwalk bench to watch the waves without catching a chill. Between my cozy layers and the gorgeous winter sky stretching over the water, it was the perfect afternoon for a seaside stroll.
As we step into this new year, these pieces remind me that style and comfort aren't mutually exclusive. Here's to many more adventures, both planned and spontaneous, in outfits that make us feel confident, comfortable, and ready for whatever the day brings! And hey – no judgment if those New Year's resolutions don't make it past January! 😉
