How to cycle to work and still look amazing
New year, new commute…
It seems like every January, there’s a new way to mix up your commute, whether it is by bicycle, foot, or even by some form of board. But what always seems to be missing is, how do you still look cute while exercising on your way to work? You don’t want to look all sweaty walking in to a board meeting first thing in the morning, right? Well, bring in the new fashion line, Meame.
Meame is a new brand that focuses on fashionable cycle wear that is easy transitioned from the road to the boardroom and is surprisingly pretty cute. Founded by Megan Aylott, a fashion school grad, and her husband, Steven Azancot, they wanted to create a line that combine both function and style to cater to cyclists that wanted to commute to work but also avoid the hassle of changing before they clocked in. And boom, Meame was born. I’m still wondering, though, if anybody has verbally acknowledged that the name sounds a little like meme though. Anyway.
Bring on the reflective tweed, the biker jackets, and even a cap to wear to work. It seems like great quality combined with an effortless style you can only find in a large European city. Combine glamour with function and Meame will ride that bike lane like no tomorrow. Plus, they have effortless styles for both the male and female identifying cycle aficionados in your life and it’s a great way to continue on that resolution trend of finally dusting that bike off that’s hidden away in some dark corner. Plus, you won’t have to worry about looking like you just came from the gym in something less than glamorous because in the words of the Meame team, it combines both “British style with city flair” all while riding on two wheels, as long as you remember how.
But let’s be honest here, who actually wants to take the tube into work every day? It’s crowded, has an overarching unidentifiable smell at times, and you get pushed together during rush hour. So if you live close enough to work where this is possible, consider cycling to work while wearing Meame because it really does seem to combine not only active wear we all love with actually being a functioning, multifaceted performer you can wear in front of your boss. Who knew that was possible?
In all honesty, Meame is the line we were all hoping for in terms of new years resolutions. We start the year looking to exercise more while still looking chic but a lot of us struggle with finding time to actually hit the gym or the trails when we’re working long hours while also maintaining an active social life. Meame looks to bridge the gap in minimizing the need to find the time to work out while not working a 9-5 because if you have a bike, a closet, and a job near enough, you can be the perfect candidate for the line. After all, the founders have a background in not only fashion but also cycling so you know it’ll bridge the gap of functionality and design flawlessly because the bones come from people who know what they’re talking about. You’re in good, fully capable hands.
