13 Exercise Dresses to Wear On and Off the Court This Summer

The exercise dress I'm wearing everywhere this summer: Halara's Softlyzero Easy Peezy dress. It's called the Easy Peezy dress because it's made with built-in bike shorts that are detached from the sports bra in the back—meaning I don't have to take the whole dress off to go to the bathroom. Instead, I can just slide down the shorts like I would any other pair and the rest of the dress stays on. I first tried out Halara's exercise dress last summer on a girls trip to Montauk. To my surprise, it was my most-worn piece of clothing during the four-day weekend. I wore it everywhere—to grab coffee in the morning, on an afternoon walk with my friends, and to lunch with a pair of cute sandals. It will be in my weekender bag for all of my trips down the shore this summer, too. The A-line dress is so flattering and the material is buttery soft, making it comfortable enough to wear all day long. The best part: It comes in at just $45.
