This Is How You Wear Your Workout Gear to the Bars

Barre class is over and your friend just texted you and asked you to come meet her at your favorite pub. If you go home to change, it's going to tack on at least an hour (you're not the fastest showerer), so it's best to go as is and throw on a few pieces to modernize your look. Ahead, all the fashion inspiration you need for your next barre-to-bar jaunt.

Spend a few minutes on your hair

If you can get away with spraying dry shampoo onto your roots, go for it, but if you worked up a big sweat in class, slip on a slouchy beanie (avoid throwing your hair into a lazy ponytail). Chances are your scalp is the only area that really needs to be covered up.

Keep up your physical activities with a game of pool instead. An hour of billiards burns around 140 calories.
