How to Build the “It-Girl” Routine (Even If You're Just Going to Pilates)

How to Build the “It-Girl” Routine (Even If You're Just Going to Pilates)

There’s something magnetic about her. She walks into a room (or a coffee shop) and you don’t even need to hear her speak—you just know. The vibe is quiet luxury, soft ambition, and just enough structure to make being effortlessly cool look… well, effortless.

And it all starts with the routine.

The Wake-Up: Soft Alarms & Lemon Water

Before the world wakes up, she’s already moving. The first light of the day filters through sheer linen curtains. No loud alarms—just a soft chime and a quick glance at her screen-free bedside clock. She pulls on a ribbed knit set that hugs in all the right places without trying too hard. It’s not just a morning—it’s a moment. 


The Ritual: Matcha, Not Mayhem

The blender isn’t screaming with protein shakes. Instead, it’s a calm swirl of ceremonial-grade matcha, collagen peptides, and oat milk from a brand you’ve never heard of but definitely want to Google.

She’s in a zip-up, with no makeup (yet), and sleek hair pulled back. The outfit works whether she’s heading to hot Pilates or just heading to her journal.

Athleisure has never looked more put-together. This is the kind of outfit you’ll wear all day, not because you forgot to change—but because there’s literally no reason to.


The Look: From Mat to Matcha Date

Let’s be real. No one’s getting dressed twice anymore. We’re living in elevated activewear that feels luxe, feminine, and polished enough for more than the studio.

The fit checklist:

  • unchecked

    Cropped half-zip or cable-knit pullover

  • unchecked

    Pleated mini skirt or contour-legging hybrid

  • unchecked

    Crisp tennis socks + tonal sneakers

  • unchecked

    Optional: visor, tote, sunglasses, oversized water bottle

It’s the modern uniform of girls who do Pilates in West Hollywood, run errands in Bel Air, and know how to style a crewneck like it’s couture.


The Practice: Movement As Meditation

You’re not just working out. You’re resetting. Whether it’s reformer Pilates, a solo stretch on your living room mat, or a meditative walk to get your green juice, movement isn’t a punishment—it’s a pleasure.

That’s the thing about the “it-girl” routine: it’s never rushed. She moves with intention. And her clothes move with her—no riding, bunching, or readjusting. Just buttery fabrics, thoughtful tailoring, and energy that says, “I’m in my era.”


The Midday Flow: Calendars, Candles, Clean Aesthetic

She’s working—let’s be clear. But she’s not stressed. There’s a rhythm to the day. iCal is open, air is citrusy, and the vibe is ultra-productive but cute.

The outfit hasn’t changed, but it could pass as business casual in her world. Add gold jewelry and she’s ready for a Zoom call or an iced matcha meeting at a café with terrazzo countertops and perfect natural light.


The Wind Down: Glowy Skin & Sunset Walks

Golden hour hits differently when you’ve had a slow, intentional day. Skincare is layered with the same care as her outfit. SPF, serum, gua sha, gloss. She might grab dinner with friends, or just take the long way home listening to a moody-pop playlist or Call Her Daddy podcast ep. Either way, she’s glowing—because her day wasn’t about hustle, it was about harmony.

This is the part no one tells you: the best accessory to any outfit is peace.


The Secret Sauce: Less, But Better

Here’s the thing—they all try to replicate the look. But they miss the point. It’s not about the trend. It’s about quality. It’s about a minimal capsule that feels thoughtful and personal. Just a few pieces that fit like a glove, style like a dream, and age like fine wine.

She doesn’t follow a schedule. She flows. She doesn’t chase trends. She sets them. And she always looks good doing it.


Shop the Routine:

All-day comfort. Effortless polish. Pieces that work harder than your espresso machine. 

 

The It-girl routine isn’t about having more. It’s about having enough—and knowing exactly what to do with it. When your wardrobe works as hard as your skincare routine, every day becomes a little more aligned, a little more curated, and a little more you.

Let your routine reflect your standards: high-quality, intentional, and beautiful.
