Something Navy’s Arielle Charnas shares the activewear essentials she can’t live without

Between designing chic sweats, practicing her dance-cardio routines with buzzy trainer Amanda Kloots, and posting swoony #OOTDs on the style and fashion site Something Navy, Arielle Charnas has really stepped up her fitness fashion game in the past few years.

Last summer, she collaborated with cool-girl brand Koral on an exclusive capsule wardrobe for Bandier, and this year, she paired up with Monrow on another collection for the boutique fitness retailer. Think: super-cozy separates you could wear to the studio or just to your couch for a girls’ night in watching BFF flicks. 

At this point, over one million followers on Instagram look to her feed for a daily dose of inspo. And while plenty of her posts revolve around splurge-worthy denim, sharp jackets, and pointy-toed flats and heels, Charnas also has a strong affinity for activewear—be it crisp-white Supergas à la Kate Middleton or a feminine bodysuit. Let’s just say her closet runneth over with on-trend workout looks. But what if she had to choose just a few beloved pieces from the bunch?  Scroll down to see the fitness fashion essentials Charnas says would definitely make it into her gym bag—plus her favorite chic carryall.

Sneaker count

I would say between gym sneakers and everyday sneakers, I own around 30–35 pairs.

Kicks you wear with every outfit

They’re a splurge, but Golden Goose sneakers are worth it! They look cute with anything—a great alternative is a pair of white, canvas Supergas.

Go-to for great activewear

I prefer to shop online, and I get most of my activewear from Bandier.

Genius post-workout styling hack

I love to add a cropped sweatshirt to any post-workout outfit! I think finding the perfect, cute sweats to work out in are a must for every girl’s closet.

Gym bag of choice

I normally like to work out downstairs at my building, but when going to classes, I love to carry any type of bucket bag for easy access to everything I need.
