"Outdoorsy".

The word conjures images of mega-layered flannel, polar fleece and gortex jackets.

Ailin’s performance fashion elevates functional outerwear to eco chic, through its insistence on establishing deep quality and elegance in design. The company is dedicating to reducing their environmental footprint, while developing collections called "Yogi in Heels" and "The Mindful Traveller".

Ailin, which is Tibetan for "compassion for nature", features pieces that range from workout gear to hybrid post-workout casual wear, like this brushed eco-polyester slip dress. Ailin’s pieces are meant to last for years, in all weather, and to travel well. These hipster pants are a luxurious choice for travel, play, or dressing up with heels.

I love that all Ailin pieces are designed with movement in mind, complete with smooth seams and breathing room.
