The Rise of Athleisure: More Than Just a Trend
Athleisure became the unofficial uniform of 2020, but its appeal has far outlasted the year. People have embraced the comfort and versatility of clothing that can transition seamlessly from the court to errands and even social outings. This shift in lifestyle has made comfortable, stylish activewear a necessity rather than a luxury.
Why Dona Jo Stands Out
From the moment I unwrapped my Dona Jo apparel, I was impressed by the quality. The fabric is soft yet durable, lightweight but not flimsy. It’s a unique combination that’s hard to describe—you really have to feel it to believe it.
“From the first sketch to the last stitch, the team at Dona Jo takes great pride in ensuring quality and comfort in every garment. They believe these features are the key to great performance.”
Performance You Can Forget About
When I first tried on my Dona Jo pieces, I was immediately drawn to my local pickleball courts. The apparel is designed to move with you, not against you. The skirt’s inner lining hugs your body perfectly, eliminating the need for constant adjustments. Once I started playing, I completely forgot about my outfit, which is the hallmark of great athletic wear. My focus was entirely on my game—until someone asked where I got my skirt, leading me to show off the Dona Jo Instagram account.
The long sleeve tee I wore was another standout. It’s incredibly lightweight, yet offers full coverage without being see-through. This rare combination makes it a must-have in every color.
Beyond the Court: Versatility and Style
While performance is crucial, Dona Jo also excels in style. Their designs are not only functional but also beautiful, making it easy to transition from the court to social activities. Whether you’re heading to lunch with friends or just lounging at home, Dona Jo has you covered.
“Dona Jo was born after an adventurous trip to Raphael’s hometown of Brasilia, Brazil. The two wanted to blend bright colors and bold patterns with the functionality and comfort everyone was looking for in activewear. Not only was it important to have an awesome product but also a community of empowered individuals that could express themselves creatively.”
Understanding Dona Jo Sizing
Dona Jo’s sizing is unique but straightforward. Skirts come in Size 1, Size 2, Size 3, etc., with Size 1 equating to 0-8, Size 2 to 10-14, and so on. Pay attention to the length options as well. The Ultimate Skirt is 17” for more coverage, while the 14.5” skirts offer a shorter option. There are even shorter lengths available for those who prefer them.
