After a long season of indulgence, it’s no wonder many of us resolve to get back in shape for the New Year. We try to get pumped up with an exciting playlist, goal chart, and healthy meal plan. For our money though, the key piece of the workout motivation puzzle is picking up some cool new togs to exercise in. If we’re trying to get fit, we might as well look good doing it! With that in mind, here’s what’s hot for getting sweaty.
Mesh Match
Mesh detailing epitomizes sporty chic. As an athletic material, mesh has a functional purpose. But as a fabric also embraced by modern street style and haute couture alike, it scores high marks for trendiness as well. Look for pieces with mesh insets, sleeves, or trim. Athletic shoes tend to include mesh panels, so opt for kicks that highlight the construction with high-concept texture, printed mesh, and dual tone overlays.
Print Play
As athletic wear has become more integrated into the fashion world, designers of workout gear have become more daring. Monochrome and solid color pieces have made way for a dizzying array of prints including floral, galaxy, and geometric options. Print mixing has popped up as the next step into high style active wear, and geek girls are invited to shape up with comic book and franchise-inspired pieces.
Skirt the Issue
Once reserved for the tennis court, the skirt has made its way into the regular workout rotation. A feminine fashion statement – but with maximum freedom of movement – running and yoga-wear companies have especially embraced the athletic skirt trend. With options ranging from classically sporty to surprisingly flirty, skirts can appeal to both the jock and the workout newbie.
Feeling great never looked so good. Work out with confidence in these fab fitness pieces!
