His & Her Athleisure Wear – Spotlight on the Camo Trend

BookmarkThis!! his & her athleisure wear - matching camo t-shirts

Today two of my favorite people are making a cameo in camo on the blog to share some his and her athleisure wear in collaboration with Nordstrom.  I get so many messages on Instagram from people who enjoy the amount of teasing my husband dishes out in the comments of my photos.   Grown men still flirt like little boys.  He’s quick to needle me during the awkward moments when he’s behind the camera so it was fun to trade places and give him a taste of his own medicine.   Middle aged modeling is not for the faint of heart.

So I grabbed my hubby (who is 6’3″ for reference) and my brother (who is 6’6″ and was home from Dallas for the weekend) to share some menswear I picked up at Nordstrom.  As a blogger and toddler mom I do a LOT of online shopping.   Nordstrom has free shipping and returns so you can imagine the maze of cardboard boxes that my husband has to put up with in our house.  It was nice to actually tell him a package was delivered for him for a change. When you’re ordering for a significant other on Nordstrom.com it’s super helpful that they have fit guides for each item saying whether things run true to size.

I have been hot on the camo trend so I grabbed a few items for us over the last few weeks.   I am big on retro sneaks and tees so you will see Chris wearing some classic Reebok sneakers (true to size) and I have on Adidas superstars (which run big, size down .5-1 size from your usual).  The camo t-shirts we are wearing above are both from the men’s department.   I got size large for Chris and size small for myself.   Best of all they’re 2 for $30!!

My hubby owns a business and gets to wear jeans to work.  I’m not sure how he wears holes in his jeans so quickly with how little he washes his denim (calling you out, Instagram hubby!!!) but he was in need of a new pair so I grabbed these Levi’s.   My husband does Crossfit everyday so he has muscular legs and a small waist (a gift in life, but it makes it tough to find well fitting jeans).  This pair of Levi’s is more form fitting that his usual “relaxed” fit jeans without looking like skinny jeans.

I don’t usually go for white leggings because they show dirt AND CELLULITE so easily.   These Alo Airbrush pair defy the odds.  They are speckled with silver and super contouring which solves both of the issues I just mentioned.   These are what I would consider investment leggings but if you’ve been wanting to try white workout pants – these are the most flattering pair I’ve found.

I have gotten messages on Instagram asking about my brother, Pete,  when I put him on my Instagram stories.   He is 2.5 years older than me (so nearly 21 😉 ) and lives in Dallas.   He is never married and does not have any kids….yet!!   If you want to be sisters I am accepting applications though he is dating someone at the moment.  Pete is wearing XL in the camo baseball tee (that just got marked down 40% off) and jacket.  The jacket is almost sold out, BLAH!   I ordered all these items last week not knowing how quickly the men’s items fly off the (online) shelves.  I am sharing a bunch of similar pieces below.

With my brother in the mix it was easy to get my husband to have a natural smile for the camera.   These two are always cracking jokes about parts of the male anatomy I’m not that interested in ;).  With two sons and brothers I have decades of these jokes behind and ahead of me.

Since most men can get down with the athleisure trend (or maybe I’m trying to normalize my hubby’s affinity for loungewear outside the house) I’m sharing some favorites.   As you can tell from the pics below (and several others on Instagram) I am hot for the camo trend right now.

    […] white speckled leggings are a recent purchase.   I also wore them in this post about his and her athleisure looks.  I love the look of white leggings but they can easily show dirt (and cellulite) so it took me […]
