Did you guys know Carrie Underwood is launching a fitness clothing line!?
Her new line of fitness apparel, CALIA, is debuting today and will be available at DICK’S Sporting Goods stores nationwide. As someone who basically lives in gym clothes and as a big-time Carrie Underwood fan, I jumped at the chance to try out a few items from CALIA and have nothing but good things to say about the quality, style and functionality the clothing.
I was challenged to take some items from Calia and transform them from “studio to street.” I had so much fun playing around in my closet!
From Barre to Errands Around Town…
The first look I came up with features a Barre to Errands Around Town look!
For the barre workout, I paired a CALIA by Carrie Underwood Seamless Tank with a strappy black sports bra, black leggings and sneakers (for walking to and from the studio). This look easily transitions into a street look by adding boots, a colorful clutch, casual jacket and a beanie! I figured this would be a look I could wear after a barre workout to run around town since a lightweight tank and leggings are both items I frequently wear to my Pure Barre classes. A pair of boots, a denim jacket and a beanie are simple items you can easily throw on post-workout, so this look is a breeze!
The beanie is key for hiding “ponytail hair.” Haha!
A quick note about this tank: The tank has ruching along the sides that allow you to choose how long you want it to be – you can bunch it up or pull it down over your hips for additional coverage, which is how I chose to wear the tank since I have a such a long torso (and a growing baby bump)! I also love how it comes up a little higher on the neckline, which I appreciate from a modesty standpoint since I teach a lot of Spinning classes where I feel like I am bending over the handlebars of a bike!
From the Gym to Brunch…
The second look features the same comfy ruched CALIA Essential Tank but incorporates my absolute favorite item I had the chance to try from the new line: The Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater.
The gym look shown above is super comfy and features the CALIA Seamless Tank, CALIA Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater, CALIA Effortless French Terry Capri and sneakers.
It easily transitions into a brunch look by swapping out the sweatpants and sneakers for a pair of skinny jeans and flip flops!
But back to that sweater… The CALIA Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater is super long in the back (great if you’re wearing leggings!) and the material is incredibly soft and breathable. It’s the perfect springtime studio cover up that also translates well to out-of-the-gym looks, like this one I put together for a weekend brunch with girlfriends.
I paired the tank and cardigan with with skinny jeans, flip flops, an oversize clutch and a gold necklace and threw my hair in a loose braid for a quick and simple gym-to-lunch look.
I had a blast putting these outfits together and hope you enjoyed a little sneak peek into the new CALIA by Carrie Underwood fitness apparel line!

I am ALWAYS looking for new workout tops! It is hard to find ones that are both flattering and practical! A lot of these look awesome!
I teach pilates at 5 am so I’m definitely one for the slouchy cardigan to keep me warm when the sun is down. I also have long legs and no torso, so I love that you can adjust the length of this tank. I’m sold!!
All of these clothes look awesome! I think I would look into the leggings and the cocoon sweater!
I’m already obsessed with that cocoon sweater! I love the light colors an perfect to pair with a maternity tank for my 7 month baby belly!
Leggings and Tank top for sure!
I desperately need sports bras!
I’d definitely go with the long tank! Just tossed a few that were really starting to show their age, so I’m on the lookout for new ones.
I would love new workout tanks and a sweater like the one you showed to transition for gym to errands
I could definitely use some new workout tanks. It’s really hard for me to find good workout tanks because my boobs are pretty big and I need tanks that aren’t too low cut. Would love to try out a new brand!
I’d go for the leggings!
I really need to buy a new pair of leggings and a few new tank tops. I essentially live in athletic clothing, and burn through my workout clothes pretty fast. I hit the gym 5 days a week, for about 2.5 hours each day so I’m looking for good quality stuff that will last me a while (but that is also cute). Since there are only so many hours in the day, I barely have time to change my outfit however, Calia will let me go straight from the gym to class, tutoring a student, and to work. Not only do I have so many things going on in my life but I am a trainer at a gym as well. I live a really active and busy lifestyle, and Calia has the perfect items for me to go straight from that active lifestyle into other parts of my life; the items from Calia are perfect for transitioning from a workout to street style which is why I need to incorporate Calia into my lifestyle.
I would definitely buy a new sports bra & that dip dye sweater! It’s so cute and can transition from workout to running errands. I love it!
I’ve really been looking forward to her fitness line coming out and it looks amazing! Would love some new comfy leggings and a new tank to help me get beach bod ready for vacation 🙂
I could use some new capris and I love the comfy sweater!
Wow, the apparel options are awesome! I’d love to get one of those cute sports bras and a new pair of leggings.
I like keeping it comfy and light, so I would use the gift card for the tank tee and leggings. Lets me move comfortably and be flexible. At my age I need this, almost 59 and tend to get hot very quickly!
This would make workouts so much more comfortable and I would look great to boot!
I definitely want that tank and cocoon sweater!
I really need some new leggings! This would be awesome. Thanks for the giveaway, Julie!
Love this blog! As for workout outfits go, I’ve lost a total of 15# so far and am starting to not fit into the 5 outfits I lay out for the week. I would love to purchase a pair of new capri’s, and a new pair of running shorts to break in for my half marathon in May. I’ve never owned a cute razorback tank, so I’d probably splurge on someone flattering. And if enough left over, I really could use a new pair of workout shoes. They’ve really got some miles in over the past few months. And to be quite frank, they are starting to get a little smelly. A dip in the washing machine can only go so far.
🙂
I would buy new tank tops for spring running, it is right around the corner and I am itching for some tanks with cute backs!
I would definitely buy that cocoon sweater! So cute and functional. My second item would be some new leggings – my favorite pair just bit the dust yesterday!
I would love new sports bras and workout tanks to get ready for summer exercise 🙂
I would love to get some new tops and leggings! Spring is right around the corner, and a cute workout outfit can really help boost my confidence in the gym.
I’d love the Women’s Loose Fit Cross Back Tank Top and a pair of the Women’s Essential Printed Tight Fit Capris! The Mixed Open Knit Scarf is also really cute in the pink or grey!
No question…I LOVE the CALIA Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater, and CALIA Effortless French Terry Capri! SO cute!
I would stock up on that ruched tank in every color! Love that you can change the length of it, I practically live in leggings. With that said I’d check out those leggings too, can never have enough. And ugh that cocoon sweater! I’d love everything. Period.
Awesome job on transitioning the outfits from gym to street. Sounds like a ton of fun and I will be using your ideas. Thanks!
I would love some leggings and the cocoon sweater…..both look so comfy!
I could use a new workout top!
i’m trying to become more motivated to work out, and i think new work out clothes would be the perfect motivator! i would love some new workout tanks and a track jacket.
I could always use more leggings and tanks. I find workout leggins so versatile, especially when chasing around a toddler!
I would definitely buy that cocoon cardigan and a new pair of leggings!
I would love to check out the sports bras and definitely want to own the Women’s Inner Power Balconette Bra (so cute!) and almost any or ALL of the leggings/shorts. Just getting back into a 4-5 day regular workout routine and would love to up my gym (style) game. Thanks <3
I’m a stay at home mom and live in my workout clothes! I would love to look more presentable when I leave the gym to go on a play date or run errands. I love the cocoon sweater and would get a pair of leggings!
Such cute stuff! I’d love some leggings and a new workout tank.
Everything! I love the french terry bottoms and the light pink dolman top.
I LOVE the cocoon cardigan, and I’m always looking for leggings for yoga! You look SO cute in all of these!
I looked at the website earlier today and I love the double strap tanks, the balconette bra and the dip dye sweater you have. So cute!
I love the cocoon sweater (I need a few things so I feel comfortable in leggings). I would also love to get another pair of capri leggings. I love the pair I have and want more!
I’d probably get the Women’s Essential Straight Fit (the capri length) and the Women’s Seamless T-Shirt
I would get the cocoon sweater and some new leggings!
So exciting for Carrie Underwood! I adore her! I would purchase the Women’s Essential Embossed Side and the Women’s Shapewear Capris ! I have 1,000 shirts, but I always lack bottoms! I’m hoping 2015 is my year to kick it into shape! 🙂
This is so exciting! Thank you! 🙂 I am just healing up from an awful wrist break which needed surgery (5 pins!) so I need some new workout gear to get me excited about going back to the gym once I get all healed up! The crop pants in the grey are SO CUTE! As well as the dolman V-neck sweaters! I won’t be wearing a cast anymore so the sweater will fit my arm and keep it nice and cozy! Thanks for offering this!!! 🙂
I LOVE the long tank and the cocoon sweater! They look so cozy!
That sweater is great! I’m always looking for new pull-overs or jackets to wear over workout clothes.
I could totally use new tops and leggings for yoga!!
I’ve been waiting for her new line to come out! So exciting! I would go for the leggings, a top and the cozy sweater… !
Hi! I need some new leggings and tanks.. my workout gear is in desperate need of some revamping! Love these items!
I would love some new leggings and would die for the cocoon cardigan! So cute!!
The tank would be perfect for me because I purposely seek out long fitted tanks to wear under my looser fitting running shirts. I like the support they give but also how they cover my butt if I’m in a workout class where a lot of movement makes my shirt ride up ( hate that!)
I also LOVE the cocoon sweater. So pretty and feminine… and easy to throw on before/after a workout!
I love that sweater and am always on the lookout for new leggings!
I would really like to have the leggings and a new tank!
