The Best Activewear Dresses for Summer 2023

May 30, 2023 · In: Fitness, Lilly Pulitzer, Spring & Summer

Summer is officially here! I don’t know about you, but my wardrobe is certainly not ready for summer this year… I’ve been trying to elevate my activewear/loungewear closet because leggings and a baggy tee just don’t cut it to run errands in during the summer. I’ve been experimenting with tennis skirts since summer 2021, and now tennis dresses are becoming just as popular and I am loving it! They’re easy to wear, practical, and they look like you put in effort when you really didn’t.

So no matter where you’re heading this summer – the pickleball court, an amusement park, the beach, or just running errands – here are activewear dresses you need to check out.

From Old Navy – $59.99

I recently snagged this dress from Old Navy and it is great, especially for the price! It has built-in shorts, padding in the bra, and I love the little cut out details. Plus it comes in a few different colors.

From J.Crew Factory – $54.99

If you’re looking for a fun printed option, this one from J.Crew Factory is so fun! It has built in shorts with pockets, and from what the reviews say I believe it has a built in bra as well.

From Addison Bay – $168

If you’re looking for a high quality piece that will last you for years, consider Addison Bay! These do not come with shorts, but if you’re like me and may need a longer short to layer, this is perfect to mix and match with your favorite spandex short.

From Lululemon – $148

If you know me, you know I’m a big Lululemon girl! I think their pieces are just amazing quality and the align tank is actually my favorite workout top – so I’m excited to see it in a dress. While it is definitely an investment I know you won’t be disappointed. This has a built-in bra and built in shorts.

From Amazon – $40

I recently showed this on Instagram and y’all loved it! The scalloped details are so cute, it comes in tons of colors, and it’s very flattering. I would prefer the shorts it comes with to be a tad longer – but I do like that the shorts are separate from the dress itself. It makes trips to the bathroom easier – and you can easily switch out the shorts. It comes in tons of colors as well!

From Lilly Pulitzer – $178

Lilly always makes extremely flattering activewear in my opinion. This dress has removable cups and undershorts, plus the collar makes it appropriate for many golf courses. This style is also available in different colors/prints right now.

Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the fertility clinic I’ve been getting treatment at since January. Instead we were told our baby girl no longer had a heartbeat. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to be thankful, and this year that is extremely difficult. 

For the rest of our lives we will question why this happened to us. We’ll wonder who she would’ve looked more like? What color would her eyes have been? Would she have loved the things we loved? I will yearn for you forever, baby girl. A piece of our hearts will always be with you, our first baby, now in heaven.

I’m sharing this not for pity or for attention, in fact I’ve felt very embarrassed to share. But I noticed after sharing my IVF journey a few months ago it opened a door for conversation. Conversations with people who have been through it, are going through it, or are curious about the process. These conversations are so important to break the stigma of fertility treatment regardless of your age or diagnosis. While I don’t share every detail of my journey, I’m choosing to share this to show it’s not always a straight and narrow path. 

So if you’re reading this and resonate, my heart is with you. You are not alone. You did nothing wrong. If you’re reading this and know someone going through it - I urge you to reach out. Whether it’s to tell them you’re thinking of them, or whether you’re offering a helping hand. This experience is isolating, scary, and confusing. I promise you that if someone has shared their journey with you and you decide to stay silent, it hurts.
