If you live in sweatsuits but want something a little dressier, check out Royal Plush Clothing, the ultimate in comfy, yet sexy active wear. Celeb moms have been wearing this LA brand for years because it’s fashionable and modest at the same time. The open 35" inseam is great for petite and tall mamas as you simply cut to desired length. I like that it has a generous 8" rise and are higher in the back which minimizes the risk of showing off your underwear.

The Royal Plush style is both practical and posh: a much fancier alternative to your run-of-the-mill sweatsuits. Washed three times for softness and that lived in look, each piece incorporates Swarovski crystals in its designs. The line includes sweatshirts, zippered hoodies, pants, tanks, tunics, long skirts, and accessories like handbags, flipflops and hats.

They’re even launching a kids line called Royal Kids with pieces that coordinate with mom’s and a high-tech workout line called True Royal Workout with coordinating exercise wear. Celeb fans of Royal Plush include Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria, Tori Spelling, Teri Hatcher, Eva Mendes, Carmen Electra, Angie Harmon and new mom Marissa Jaret Winokur.

The line is available at Bloomingdales, M.Fredric and www.fashionchateau.com.

Note to those on a "beer budget:" We review products based on what we come across and what is sent to us. Had a lower-end brand approached us, we may have written about their products too. If you’re looking for a similar look, you might want to Google these terms: rhinestone/embellished/crystal AND activewear/hoodie/sweatsuit/tracksuit/track pants. You can also check sites like Overstock or SmartBargains for discounted designer items. Frankly, I haven’t come across much in this genre that is substantially less expensive that does not look like one of those over-the-top gem sweaters, but if you find something that you find that’s on par, please post a link to share with others!
