Fashion Line Review: VIPE Women's Fitness Apparel

Happy 2013, It Girl Fam!

Many of us have fitness on our list of New Year’s resolutions, so I wanted to share with you a relatively new line in women’s fitness apparel called VIPE (aka VIP Exercise).  I recently had the opportunity to meet the CEO and designer of VIPE, Marlies Korijn, and view her Spring 2013 line.  She’s super-cool and has an impressive background. Not only is Marlies a former field hockey star and an exercise scientist, but she’s also from the Netherlands. 

Designed for women by a woman, the line is stylish, sophisticated, and very functional. VIPE’s high-quality wicking fabric is proprietary and contains no polyester, which means no piling! I like that.  Marlies takes every opportunity to accentuate our beautiful curves while minimizing the trouble areas that most women are self-conscious about.   Her loose-fitting tanks conceal any challenges you may have around your midsection.  Seam placement throughout the line has a slimming effect and the rise in the back of the pants, capri tights, and shorts are higher.  Who doesn’t like a little extra coverage back there?  Two thumbs up on the high-rise!

There are other practical features worth highlighting. The jacket zippers can lock in place and you’ll find reflectors strategically designed on each garment.  Her line also accommodates any MP3 player with hidden pockets some of the tanks and bottoms and a hidden hole in the jackets comfortably conceal the wires of your ear plugs. I should add that the line offers lots of layering and mix-n-match options.  The primary colors in the line are white, black, pink, and green.

The Spring 2013 line hits select boutiques this February.  Click here for a full listing of boutiques. You can learn more about VIPE at thevipe.com

Accelerate Cover Up on Marlies & I'm wearing the Cardiac Woven Packaway Jacket.

This model is wearing my favorite pieces of the entire line -
the White Vigour Terry Jacket & Pant. 

I probably would wear this white jumpsuit everywhere but the gym. It's too cute. 

The Accelerate Cover Up Jacket.  

There's a ton of detail which the camera doesn't capture like the headphone hole underneath the collar and the thumbhole in the cuffs. (Marlies is also wearing this jacket above.)
