A Beginner's Guide to Stylish Women's Sportswear

8843592859?profile=original

Long gone are the days when the world of sports was considered a purely male pursuit. In fact, did you know that roughly one million women around the world are registered as being professional athletes? That’s one million women that make their living from participating in sport. Of course, pros make up only a tiny fraction of the number of women taking part in sports today. Sport is a universal language, open to people of all ages, body types and levels of a ability.

Unfortunately though, outside of the world’s elite female athletes, very few women bother to invest in good quality sportswear, much to their own detriment. They just put on anything and start jogging or hitting up the local gym without putting any real thought behind it. Today though, there’s no real excuse not to get yourself some decent sportswear, both in terms of style and practicality. There’s no shortage of shops, both online and offline, that are selling trendy and fashionable sportswear for both men and women. You simply need to know your sport and your body and get the right kit for it.

No matter your size, age or preferred sport, there’s plenty of sportswear out there that is just perfect for you. Even though there’s serious work to be done, people still lie to look good and feel sexy when they are training. Clothes manufacturers are well aware of this and have had to put this into consideration when coming up with sportswear that will get the job done in style. The latest on-trend sportswear combines the best of both worlds; ease of athletic performance and the simplicity of urban leisure. Therefore, this summer, make sure you get yourself some high-tech sporting kit that will boost your performance and make you feel comfortable while doing so as well. After all, when you look good, you feel good, and that can only boost your confidence which leads to improved performance.

Get the essentials right first

While there are all sorts of great jogging bottoms, vest tops, leggings, hoodies, and thermals (after all, your training shouldn’t stop just because the weather has taken a turn for the worse – if, like me, you live in a place like Ireland you’d never get any exercise!) that will give the comfort aesthetic you need, the one item of sportswear that you cannot afford to overlook is a good sports bra. If you don’t get this right your daily jog or weekly match will end up feeling more like torture than fun! Make sure that you get one that is just the right size. I can’t offer any better tips than that. You know your body better than anyone else ladies – get this one right and the rest will sort itself out!

It’s in the bag!

Once you’ve got your sporting clothes nailed down you shouldn't forget about other sports accessories and sporting bags. Remember, if you will be walking or driving to your nearest sports ground, you will most likely need to carry your outfit and change at the grounds.

How to look trendy in sportswear

Being a sports woman, no doubt you will still want to look trendy and sexy. Look for outfits that match your body size and shape and then work your way from there. Right now, watercolours and floral patterns are all the rage, so I’d recommend investing in something suitably funky. Make sure that it’s light and breathable, perfect for running or aerobics, while giving you a standout look without lighting yourself up like a Christmas tree!

With the right selection of sportswear, you will be able to boost your performance while enhancing your style. You will look cooler than ever as you enjoy your game. Just because you’re working up a sweat, doesn’t mean you can’t look dang good while doing it!
