Is it okay to wear workout clothes to a networking meeting?

I was recently asked for advice on whether it’s appropriate to wear workout clothes to a networking meeting. 

The person was struggling with transitioning from workout clothes to attending a back-to-back networking meeting.

 They had yoga classes and networking opportunities on the same day with only a short time in between to change and prepare.

I know that this is an issue that many women face, and with a little bit of planning, the process can be super easy. 

Thankfully, achieving a professional look after a workout can be simple if you have the right clothing items in your wardrobe.

For instance, you can pair a blazer or cardigan sweater with leggings or wide-leg yoga pants to create a professional look. 

Adding a fresh T-shirt underneath and a pair of dressy shoes can make you feel confident and ready to tackle your meeting.

To make the transition even smoother, consider packing these clothing items in your yoga bag or placing them on top of your workout gear to remind you to change after your workout. 

Also, don’t forget to pack some quick beauty essentials like lip gloss, mascara, hair clips, and deodorant wipes to freshen up quickly and look your best.

It’s important to emphasize that changing your clothes can help put you in the right mindset and energy for your appointments. 

Showing up to a meeting in yoga clothes may give the wrong impression and assume you’re a yoga instructor instead of a professional.

So, changing your clothes can help you make the right impression and feel more confident.
