Hello!! How are you?
I am sweaty.
But for once you can’t tell because I’m wearing a sweat wicking dress. This is genius! And this is not a sponsored post I just want to share this with my sweaty sisters out there.
I bought this Marika Dry Wik dress online a few weeks ago (before I did my Capsule Wardrobe). It’s not cheating even though part of the ‘capsule wardrobe rules’ is to not buy anything until I’m getting ready for next season – because I bought this long before. Plus I stained that one shirt I had to get rid of and haven’t replaced yet.
Anyway.
It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to feel confident and comfortable while embracing their personal style.
What I love about modest dresses is their versatility. Whether you’re dressing for a casual outing or a more formal occasion, styles like the poet dress can easily be adapted to fit the moment.
With its flowing silhouette and elegant details, it can be styled up or down with accessories, making it a staple in any wardrobe. So, if you’re on the hunt for that ideal blend of comfort and chic, modest dresses like this one are definitely worth considering!
I just remember the description saying something about the dress having dry wick moisture technology and I knew it was made for a sweaty betty like me so I thought I’d try it out. It comes in navy and black pattern.
I bought this dress and didn’t really think anything of it besides, “Hopefully I won’t sweat through this in public and look like a tragedy…”
And of course I packed it for Florida because um… it’s Florida in July. #unpleasant
But when I wore it yesterday I was pleasantly surprised that it’s kinda cute and super comfy. I think there are a lot of us that joke we can live in yoga pants or workout clothes. Well, this is kinda like that.
I don’t know how I found this dress, but after being to happy with it I did some research and found other similar dresses that are multi-purpose like this. They are by Marika for The Balance Collection and you can check ‘em out below.

Question: On a scale from 1 to 10 – How sweaty are you today?
1 = not at all
10 = you need a life preserver because you’re drowning

I have been following you for a long time and keep meaning to write a comment. I follow quite a lot of Heath n fitness blogs but yours is the only one I absolutely make sure I read. Anyway I was reading your post on sweat wicking clothes and you being a ‘sweaty betty’ like me and wondered if you had ever tried their clothes… Sweaty Betty have the best run n yoga gear ever.. UK company but have a store in New York now… Recommend you try. Kat

I have tried their leggings and love them, but not for running. They’re just a little thick to run in for the weather in SoCal. But yeah, agree on Sweaty Betty all the way 🙂

I was probably a 4 today. Humidity has dropped quite a bit in MA, but it’ll be up again next week from what I hear.. Love your dress! Your post has made me want to go shopping at Kohls even more, they’ve got some great stuff 🙂

Tedi @ Running with Infertility says
Never had a dress like that! I’ve been at a 2-3 all week! It’s been really calm her in Utah this past week.

I call those workout dresses (and happily hike in them with shorts underneath) and kohls carries a maxi version that might be the most perfect summer thing I’ve ever seen. I almost broke my “don’t buy clothes that are too small for you” rule to buy one, i’m so in love
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
Not too sweaty today. It’s low humidity again for a change. I even had my hair blown out. Risky! Love the idea of a sweat wicking dress. I am a big sweater. Thanks for the post

Big sunglasses are saving my life – when I’m sweating, when I’m lazy to do make up, when I can’t do make up because I’m sweating hahaha

Natalie @ The Ravenous Mommy says
The dress is so cute! I actually was probably a 3 on the sweat scale today, maybe because I was inside alot? hehe
Jenn @ Fairest Run of All says
It’s cold in my office, so not at all! BUT I took a walk yesterday and was pooling. So, there’s that.
