Stella McCartney for Adidas, Spring 2010

I haven’t talked about spring yet. I’m not even done updating my wardrobe for winter, the snow is still on the ground, and spring feels so far here in Switzerland, where January and February are when the temperature really drops, when it snows more than the rest of the year combined.

And yet… be it because I’m in a better mood these days, and I like to think Spring isn’t so far after all… or maybe because I bought the last issue of Italian Grazia and it had all the Spring collections on… or maybe just because I got the go-ahead to start exercising again and I’m starting with yoga! Be it as it may, the first Spring collection that really caught my eye is, oddly enough, one made entirely of exercise clothes. But not your run-of-the-mill stretchy stuff and sweatpants: these are the kind of clothes you’ll want to wear in and out of the gym, whether the gym is you destination or not.

My best friend, who has been a convert of this collaboration line for years, recently confessed to me that her wardrobe contains little else. “When you become a mom and you want to dress more comfortably, you either become a slob or you find clothes you can look good in while still being really comfortable” she said to me. These would definitely fit the bill, wouldn’t they?

Items from the Stella McCartney for  Adidas collection are priced $45-300 and they are available at select Adidas and sport stores, as well as online at the Adidas online shop, Net-a-porter,  Zappos Couture and Nordstrom.
