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 love the Cocoon sweater and can always use more leggings 🙂
Hi Julie!
I’m loving that cocoon sweater. It even looks like I could get away with wearing that to work on a Friday! 🙂 With the gift card I would also pick up some new tanks!
Definitely leggings and a new cute jacket!:-)
I heard about her new line too, thanks for the intro!
I’m moving full swing into my second trimester, and I desperately need workout tops that are bigger around the belly!!! Calia striped double layer tank would deliver a perfect solution 😉 I love the line’s sports bras too, an other item I will need to invest in as I’m finally growing real boobs! :-O
I could always use another pair of leggings since I also LIVE in them. Also, I’m in love with the cocoon sweater!
The two things in terms of workout gear that I think make the most difference are a good pair of leggings and a supportive sports bras. I am always on the lookout for another pair of each because they tend to make or break the comfort of a workout.
I love that sweater! And I’m in desperate need of some new workout tanks 🙂
I LOVE the cardigan! And you can never go wrong with a new pair of leggings!
I would buy a new tank and for sure the Dip Dye Cocoon sweater.
You’e completely sold me on the cocoon sweater and I would love to try the french terry leggings. Congratulations to you and Ryan on the new baby on the way!
I could definitely go for some tights and a new sports bra!
loving the sweater and def new leggings!
That sweater is so cute! I would love to have one 🙂 Congrats on the baby news!!
Definitely the CALIA Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater (so cute!) and a new pair of leggings!
I love the striped double layer tank and the dip dye cocoon sweater. I,just had my baby girl in January and these two are cute pieces to get from the gym to errands!
I’d go for that sweater. Love it!
Thanks! Would love an effortless sweater and a pair of printed capris!
I am loving that long white tank and would also really love a new pair of leggings!
These are so cute!! I would love some new tanks and tanks!
A new pair of leggings and a cute sports bra sounds lovely to me!
Didn’t realize my girl Carrie has a fitness clothing line! The tank and leggins are so cute! I too suffer/was blessed with a long torso and I often find myself running and pulling my tank down at the same time- not cool. Who doesn’t always need a pair of cute leggins?
Well, since I’m due with my first baby in 3 weeks, I definitely need some new workout apparel-especially capris and tanks!
You’ve made these outfits so cute! I definitely like the Seamless tank and the French terry pants. I’ve always wanted a pair of those French terry pants and I LOVE Carrie! She’s adorable 🙂 Congratulations on the baby too!! <3
I love that beanie and that cardigan. I can totally see myself going to brunch after a long tiring workout. You don’t have change!
I love that Dip Dye Sweater! Texas winters don’t get cold often so I find myself layering short sleeves and tanks under comfy sweaters and cardigans!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that adorable sweater to replace my old, boring sweatshirts to cover me up on the way to the gym. And I need some adorable leggings to go with it!
I adore the dip-dye sweater, so cute and functional!
I would love the Women’s Effortless Cocoon Sweater and the Women’s Striped Double Layer Tank Top is so cute!
Great giveaway and huge congrats on the baby! I would love to get a few tops!!
first off…CONGRATS! You’re the first blog I’ve ever followed and I’ve enjoyed reading your blog every morning. I can’t wait to hear about your pregnancy and how you and Ryan will be as parents!!
I work at a school full time and teach barre classes in Boston. I totally understand the need to have a versatile wardrobe!
I would love any piece from this line. I can never have too many leggings and cute tops to wear to and from, as well as during classes.
The workout tank with the adjustable sides and the cocoon sweater! They look great on you!
I love the sweater!!
Love all of these! Could use some new sports bras for sure!
I would love that cocoon sweater and a new tank (I have a growing baby bump as well!).
LOVE the cocoon sweater! And I’d love a new sports bra!
What a great giveaway Julie! I would love to snag a new pair of leggings and a top for my barre workouts.
I love the seamless t-shirt and the journey printed flutter shorts! Her’s new line is super cute!
That sweater looks amazing! My first thought is that it looks like a great one to pair with leggings for long airplane trips – cozy and comfortable without that “straight out of the gym” look.
I love the cocoon sweater and tank top you featured! I hadn’t heard about this new line yet. I’ll definitely be checking it out!
I am in desperate need of new work out leggings! And I need some light cover up tops as well.
congrats on the baby! So happy for you and Ryan!
I’m training for the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon, so I would love a new pair of warm leggings!
I love that double layer tank top that she is wearing in some of the pictures of her site. I’d love that and I need like the zip jacket as well. I don’t really have a fitness jacket I really like.
I am in serious need of new leggings and tanks!
I would definitely buy the cocoon sweater and seamless tank! I live in leggings and these would look great!
I’d like to try the long sweater to layer over leggings and a new tank top since I’m growing a baby bump as well!
I <3 the cocoon sweater! I've been looking for one of these. For my second item, leggings! Like you, I live and breath in leggings. Can never have too many
I think I would LIVE in the Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater and a girl can never have too many pairs of leggings. 🙂
I love that sweater!
I love the cocoon sweater! I also can’t have enough athletic socks…no such thing as too many!
Congrats to you both on your new little blessing :)) I would love to get some new fashionable, yet functional sports bras and I love the ruched tank!
