Fashion Find: Abi and Joseph

I recently discovered a brand called Abi and Joseph, that specialises in quality, comfortable, active wear for pilates, yoga, general exercise, and travelling.

I contacted them and they agreed to let me review some of their garments. I was really excited when I received the package, because I had read lots of outstanding reviews on the internet.

I put on the first outfit (pictured above) and it felt amazing. The quality of the fabric was fantastic – strong, stretchy, very, very soft and comfortable.

I have to admit that I usually just buy cheap active wear, and after two seasons, the elastic wears out, the edges buckle, the material starts to pill and I always wonder why I don’t spend a bit more on quality products.

So this was probably the first time I’ve worn active wear that was so high in quality and comfort.

Pictured above, I’m wearing a Short Sleeve Ballet Wrap Top (this was my favourite piece). I loved its cut, softness, and versatility – you can tie the straps behind and wear it as a cardigan, or wear in a bolero style. Or tie the knots on the side, or front.

I’m also wearing an Essentials Innerwear Camisole and Slim Fit Yoga Pants. The cami paired up very nicely with the ballet wrap top. Couldn’t wait to hit the gym!

On the left, I’m wearing a Delux Wrap Top. This was also one of my favourites. It was so soft, comfy, swishy, drapey, snuggly and versatile – that I wore it for the rest of the day. I seriously just sat on my couch, wrapping the draping collar up against my neck and going aaaaaahhh.

I’m wearing it with a Pilates Bra, which was surprisingly comfortable, especially since I don’t like bra tops. And lovely Cotton 4/5 Leggings.

On the right, I’m wearing the same Delux Wrap Top, this time tied up at the back. I’m wearing the same Pilates Bra with a very nice (and long) Essentials Tank on top.

I know all these garments are supposed to be ACTIVE WEAR, but I could have happily fallen asleep in any of these outfits – which is probably why they’re great for travelling. I’m looking forward to trying them out on a plane. And they make great gifts too!
