I am always on the lookout for new exercise clothes. I do a variety or workouts from yoga to belly dancing plus just lifting weights to bicycle. I have definite ideas of what I want my workout clothes to do and not do. I am really picky about workout pants and tops.
I want them to be a bit loose. I want them to be flat seamed so as not to rub against my skin and irritate it. I want them to be about free movement so I can bend and stretch without straining against my clothes.
Most work out clothing now days is made from material that wicks moisture and sweat away from the skin. I want something that is vented and made of a material that will not make me feel like the moisture is weighting me down. I like tops that have built in bras to give me good support with flat seams again, and a top included in it all. Dressing in layers is a good thing for me. I am warm unitl I have done warm up exercises so then I can discard a layer. Hooded sweat shirts that zip up the front are great for this. Just as I like to have my sports bra built into my Workout top I like my panties built into my workout pants made of the wicks moisture away from my body.
Lulu Mom is not all there is out there to choose from These are a couple of brands I have taken a look at lately
Athleta, which is owned by Gap, has been rapidly expanding its store base. Like Lululemon, Athleta puts emphasis on community and in-store events. Athleta could be Lululemon's greatest threat because it has the resources to expand quickly and offer similar clothing at lower prices.Athleta.c
ZellaZella/Nordstrom
Zella is Nordstrom's in-house yoga brand. The brand caused a stir with yoga fans in 2009 after it was revealed that Nordstrom had poached one of Lululemon's top designers.
Zella has the same elite client base as Lululemon, and has received rave reviews among yoga fans. Unlike Lululemon, the brand comes in plus and kid-sizes.
Here are some of my best choices for Spring and Summer Work out Clothes. What are your favorites?
