Fashionistas and clothes-wearing friends, thank you for popping in for the Ageless Style 07.2021: Summertime Active Wear. This series is hosted by my friend Carrie from A Simple Lovely Life and 7 of her blogging buddies. Honored to be joining this stylish group of fashion bloggers.
AGELESS STYLE LINK UP
The Ageless Style Link Up is series that goes live on the third Thursday of the month. For each post one of the gals in the group selects a theme then all of us put together a look or looks reflecting it. Last month’s theme was ‘brights by day and by night’ selected by by Jamie at No Delusions of Grandeur. You can check out that post, here. Two guesses about what I styled…yup, a kimono!!
This month’s prompt, ‘summertime sporting event,’ was chosen by Jodie at Jodie’s Touch of Style. If you haven’t discovered Jodie’s blog, you are going to want to do that today. She features the clothing and fashion sense of her friend Lesley, her mom Charlotte and herself. For today’s post, the trio will be spectators to a summertime sport. But she explained that the theme was wide open to interpretation. The Ageless Style gals could create a look for a participant or a spectator of any sport!!

AGELESS STYLE 07.2021: Summertime Active Wear
If we’ve been hanging out together for any length of time, you’ve come to realize I am no athlete. But I am active!! However, I’ve never been keen on playing group sports. Used to hate when we played volleyball in gym class. Could tolerate playing tennis a little better. And racquetball. Things like running, exercising, walking, swimming and hiking are more my style.
RBX Active
One of my spring bucket list activities was updating my warm weather active wear. Wrote about that, here. In doing so, I discovered RBX Active fitness apparel…
Built on the idea that being healthy and active should not be a luxury, but rather a basic need, RBX Active seeks to bring fashionable fitness apparel and products to everyone at affordable prices. [source]
First came across RBX Active leggings at Marshall’s then found them online. I’ve tried lots of different brands of leggings and these are my favorites. Here’s why.
- fabric is thick, think squat proof…not hot
- offers some compression without feeling restrictive or uncomfortably tight
- 75% polyester, 25% spandex
- true to size
- high waist band
- prints are lovely and colorful so that the leggings can be mixed and matched with tops in a variety of colors
- 2 pockets!!
- budget friendly
They also have great tops. And on a recent visit to Marshall’s I found an RBX Active skort. Same quality fabric and features, including 2 pockets, at a great price. Amazon has them, here, in a variety of colors for an equally amazing price. Have a look…
RBX Active Leggings
PC and I often add an element of fun to our almost daily walks. Sometimes we toss a rubber baseball between us. Other days we will kick a soccer ball back and forth. PC’s favorite is bouncing a basketball back and forth as we walk, then playing a game of Horse on the basketball court. In the look below, I am wearing a pair of RBX Active capris I scored at Marshall’s for less than $15. Paired them with an ICTIVE workout tank top in light purple from Amazon.
And here are the same leggings in action on the basketball court for a heated game of horse. Or in our case, cat. Because we get too tired trying to make enough baskets to spell a 5-letter word.
Check out my form!! And the way these leggings hold their shape. Or my shape. Or both.
Getting air. Barely.
Swish. Nothin’ but net. And check out these moves.
Move over…ummm, Larry Bird?
In the photo collage below, you can see my RBX Active skort with it’s bargain price tag and another pair of colorful RBX Active leggings.
If you are looking for comfortable, well made active wear…with pockets…you might try RBX Active.
Your Turn
Hope you will take a few minutes to visit the Ageless Style 07.2021 posts of my friends. Like you, I am anxious to see what they styled for this month’s prompt.

LOL You make me laugh. Who’s the best Thunder player?
Erica/Erika
You look awesome, Leslie! One of my daughters was a personal trainer for many years and she said it did make a difference what you wear. If you feel good in what you are wearing you will work harder at your fitness activities. The leggings look great on you. Fun, how you added videos to your post. I will check out the leggings and the links you share here.
Leslie Roberts Clingan
Thank you, Erica. I do feel more like working out when I have something colorful and fun to wear. Really impressed with RBX leggings.
Lauren Becker
Oh, I love your GIF!! Very cute leggings!! I’ve been wearing a lot of skorts this summer myself. Now that I’m in even more dance classes, I could really use some new leggings so I am definitely checking out this brand!

Love your action shots! I prefer individual sports too. In middle school I would go to the nurse and pretend I was sick when it was time for volleyball in gym class. Love the print of your leggings!

It really does make a difference to have nice workout wear! Love the leggings you are weaing and the tank. I go to Marshalls for my workout wear too! Love the leggings with pockets, essential when you are walking the dogs and need one for dog bags! I have found some great and pretty sports bras via Target in a new line they have
Love the pics of you playing B Ball! I have always loved sports 🙂
