[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stupid thread. Frumpy is not usually associated with insecure. [/quote]
+1. I'm not in favor of people going out in public in their workout gear unless they are working out, but those would be frumps. Insecure people would be the women carrying handbags with logos on them, Tory Burch shoes, crazy amounts of makeup, and an unfriendly demeanor. [/quote]

[b]You must not live close-in.

There are 4 Pilates studios, an orangetheory, revolve spinning, 4 yoga studios, two major gym chains, cross fit, a rowing boutique gym...all within a 4 block radius of my house.  Everyone is walking around in workout gear.  Usually--you pop into Whole Foods, Traders or South block juice shop after a workout.

If you workout everyday--it's common.  We are very active and take kids to parks and fields and it would be idiotic to shower and dress up as opposed to going there in active wear.  Sidelines of kids sporting events also have lots of gym/active wear.

I WAH so it saves time to save my shower for end of day.  If I WOH -yea wouldn't stay in gym gear.  No plans to impress some SAH yentas...

Rather keep a tight, fit body than worry about somebody catching me in workout gear.[/quote]
I live right in Dupont. I workout. I get dressed in my workout clothes, go workout, and then, get this: go home and shower because it's gross not to. It's not idiotic to get dressed like a normal person when you leave the house (pants, shirts, casual is fine, doesn't have to be business dress). I do it every day. I refuse to be a slob. Just because you overpaid for your tights doesn't mean they aren't pajamas/workout clothes.[/quote]

+1 if I'm not going to shower at home I shower at the gym. Spending the day in workout clothes after working out is foul.[/quote]

I always wonder about this too.  I swim at Wilson pool and workout at home, so I never wear "athleisure" outside of the home.  Are all these women I see at Whole Foods with their sweaty hair and workout clothes on all rank and stinky?  Are they gonna stay that way all day?  Or are they just "rocking" that look and just happen to have sweaty hair?[/quote]

Sometimes I go to the grocery store after the gym. Then I go home and shower, and get on with my day. [/quote]

The gym is 1/2 block to Whole Foods which is one block to my house.  I pop in for my salad and whatever groceries I need and then walk home.  WTF would I walk home shower and then walk back to WFs?  I WAH full-time so it maximizes my time.  I often throw on dry workout clothes and then shower after the kids come home from school to save time to get my work hours in.  OR---if it is 97 degrees (like this week) and I have to stand outside at a 90 minute soccer practice I am showering when I come home from that.  [/quote]

Everyone in my neighborhood does this. Everyone [b]walks[/b] home from the million exercise studios---so they will stop off at Traders or Whole Foods or Starbucks on their way back home.  Most often, people bring a dry shirt, or in winter you have a big coat on over it.  It's the norm.[/quote]
