The coolest athleisure with a Fly Girl feel.
Who remembers the Fly Girls? That’s where Jennifer Lopez got her start. The Fly Girls were all about big hoop earrings and attitude, but their style was equal parts cool and comfy. (Because they had to break it down, you know.) Fly Girl chic immediately came to mind when I spotted this jacket at Athleta. It’s cool, has a street vibe, but you can easily go for a run in it.
I wore it over these slick paper bag waist pants, which come in a super lightweight stretch material made from recycled plastic– okay, how cool and sustainable! These pants are chic enough for the office but seriously feel like your comfiest loungewear pants. (I wore them with a leopard sweater and ankle booties last week and got a ton of compliments on ’em!) They’re also wrinkle-resistant, making them great for everyday wear and travel.
Those 90s Dad sneaks from last week are back not only because they totally go with this vibe, but I’ve been wearing them nonstop since I snagged ’em from Shopbop. They are beyond comfortable (and give you a little height!) once you get used to the fact they are quite a bit heavier than your average sneaker in 2019.
Shop the look:
I will be rocking this Fly Girl jacket all spring and summer long– it’s such a great piece! It’s obviously the perfect topper to an athleisure look, but I dig the sporty spin it gives a t-shirt and jeans, or even worn later with a summer dress and sneakers.
KC friends, what are you up to tonight? Stop by the Off Broadway Shoes at the Legends from 5-7 p.m. and see me! I’ll be there hosting a girl’s night out to celebrate Off Broadway’s store redesign and all the new spring shoes. Would love to see you, so swing on by!

Ahh, I haven’t thought about the fly girls in so long! Love this look!
Haha, right? It’s the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw how this jacket looked on! 🙂
Loving this whole casual chic look, and of course the reference to the Fly Girls <3

You always do athleisure so well, Ash. You are rockin’ this fly girl look, especially with the big earrings and the paper bag waist pants. I actually just watched an old episode of In Living Color the other day and it happened to be the episode where they introduced Jennifer Lopez as their newest addition to the Fly Girls.
