I never knew why workout and active wear always made me look and feel like a big slob. That's why I love Kristi Yamaguchi's new activewear line called Tsu.ya. The Olympic gold medalist who's a mom of two girls created the line merging modern designs with comfortable fabrics. A portion of Tsu.ya sales supports children's education and inspiration through Kristi's Always Dream Foundation. Tsu.ya is also available at select Lord & Talor stores.
"My lifestyle is demanding. As a mother, as an author and as an athlete, the clothing that I wear needs to be functional as well as fashionable. Up until now there wasn’t an activewear line available to me that met those needs so I created Tsu.ya to fill the void. Moms like me know that our attire needs to live up to our standards and to our activities and Tsu.ya does just that - and with style," says Kristi.
My favorite piece from the collection is the SLIK Jacket ($149) that features satin details and cinched waistline that's flattering to a woman's silhouette. It's perfect at the gym, yoga class, or school drop off. It's definitely a way cuter version of a typical sporty jacket. Her collection not only features outerwear but also tops, bottoms, and dresses.
