These seamless capris look like an answer to lululemon’s in the flow crops–the fabric, styling, and fit all appear to be very similar.įor hot yoga lovers, or just lovers of short shorts in general, these essential knit shorts offer just a little bit more length than other boogie shorts without being too long.
CALIA BY CARRIE UNDERWOOD ZIP
Notice also in this picture that the designers have put all of the zip pockets in the front instead of the back. These essential capris are the perfect example of the feminine design details: they have a floral lace embossed panel down the side of the leg.
This collection plays up the feminine, with an emphasis on soft colors, florals, and delicate details. Prints, on the other hand, are made of polyester blends, like these floral crops. You can expect these to feel cotttony, like lululemon’s luon, because of the use of supplex. Most items are made of a nylon supplex/spandex blend. On the technical side, Calia goods use something called Bodybreeze technology for moisture wicking, and Bodyfree anti-microbial technology designed to keep away the sweaty stank. The colors shown here–smokey plum and dark ocean–are really nice choices for a color palette. The essential leggings and capris have seaming and ruching details that make these stand out from your average tights.
CALIA BY CARRIE UNDERWOOD PLUS
The line is available in sizes XS-XL, plus also includes accessories like yoga mats and water bottles. Carrie also mentioned in interviews that she doesn’t believe it’s necessary to break the bank on your workout wear (another very popular line right now), so most of her line is priced moderately–a pair of crops will set you back about $65. It’s sold exclusively through Dick’s Sporting Goods. In reality, I’m pretty sure the real reason is “this market niche is hella lucrative right now, soooo…”Īnyway, regardless of the rationale behind the brand, the new Calia line launched today.
So, I have to say that explanation falls very, very flat to me. Literally dozens of crossover fitness lines have sprung up over the past couple years, it’s not exactly a barren market. Ok, I call BS on that one–that seems to be everyone’s line whenever a new brand launches, and yet there are seriously so many brands that do that already. It’s been getting a lot of buzz, and a few items have even sold out in some sizes already!Ĭarrie said her inspiration for because she had trouble finding workout clothes that were both functional and cute. She joins the likes of Kate Hudson and Jillian Michaels in the world of celeb-endorsed fitness clothing. Country music star Carrie Underwood has branched out from her career as a singer and added activewear to her resume with the launch of her label Calia by Carrie Underwood.
