SPORTSWEAR

WHY IS SPORTSWEAR SO POPULAR?

Sportwear was never worn as streetwear a few decades ago, it was purely worn to play some sort of sport like tennis, soccer, basketball, swimming, track or dancing.

It was very frowned upon to wear your sport gear if you weren't going to a sports

event, sports carnival or anything other than a sport.

Did I make my point clear?

So, I am not sure when the switch happened, but I know it was very gradual.

I remember seeing women go to a yoga class and then go shopping or

pick up their kids in their yoga tights since they didn't have enough

time to change and I think it became the norm and now no one

even bats an eye lid on it.

WHERE SHOULD YOU WEAR SPORTWEAR?

I think sportwear is not very classy to wear on a daily basis. It is ok if you are running errands, doing food shopping, going for a walk in the park, going to the gym, or

relaxing at home. But do not wear such casual outfits at work, at a formal event,

or any place where you need to dress up a bit.

WHAT TO WEAR IF YOU WANT TO WEAR SPORTSWEAR?

My best tip to you is to buy a tracksuit that is the same colour on the top and the bottom, either with a hoodie or with a tall collar. So, this is one of the best times to have a matching outfit for a cohesive look. Try to stay away from outfits with lots of prints and words or images on them, especially sty away from logos, the large ones. And they almost always look great with white sneakers for the lighter outfits, and black sneakers for the dark ones.

Or if you want to be brave, wear a pop of colour like a bright red or blue or green.

And for women with long hair, a high ponytail is great or a lower one with

a plait. I think tights also go with any kind of top, but the best sporty look is to wear a sports jumper with them and sneakers. I'm not a fan of sports outfits with heels

or sandles or other types of shoes that are not sneaker types.

If you like doing it keep doing what you like.
