When the summer comes everyone starts going out running, cycling or doing some other physical exercise. The parks are full of people trying to get in shape for the bikini test and lose the weight they have put on during the year and everyone just feels they have to do something to get their body in shape.
The shops that are targeted the most during this period are probably the sports shops or those that sell activewear, because everyone knows that even when you are working out you need a great outfit to wear.
It is actually quite tricky to feel comfortable and look good at the same time and you simply never know who you are going to meet whilst you are running.
So, here are the essential items you will need to look stylish and loose weight at the same time!
Footwear is fundamental
Everyone who is quite practical with physical activities such as running, cycling or athletics will know very well the importance of wearing the right footwear when doing sports.
The ideal shoes will have to make your feet breathe, keep you dry and have other specific characteristics based on the kind of activity you are doing. They will also have to fit you perfectly, so not to hurt your feet and to give you the maximum comfort.
The best thing you can do is to ask for advice to a fitness trainer as, depending on what you want to achieve, there is a different kind of shoe. Once you know the more technical details you have to look for, you will have a wide choice of styles and colors, so you can find something that is stylish and also goes with most of your workout clothes!
Get the right sport bra
Not wearing the right sport bra, but a normal one instead, will make your workout experience terribly painful. The last things you want is to have your breast bouncing up and down whilst you are running and ruining your bra with sweat stains.
A great idea is to go into a specialized shop and get professionally measured to assure the best fit. Plus, when you try it on, try to bounce up and down and see how firmly it holds your chest.
Get it in a fun and stylish color and it will not only do its job in making you feel more comfortable, but it will make you look really nice too.
Nothing is better than yoga pants
Yoga pants have been proved one of the pieces of clothing that men find the most sexy. They literally go crazy for a woman wearing them, even if she is not doing any sports in that moment, so you can wear them for anything.
They are also great for all kinds of workouts despite the name and they are really flattering on anyone.
Go for printed tank tops
Tank tops are great not only for working out, but also for going in and out from the gym looking stylish.
They are colorful and fun and of course very practical for doing exercise. Get them quite loose fitting and in cotton, not a synthetic material, which will make your skin breathe an the air circulate more, so you will not heat up so much.
You can choose one that is fitting only if you are doing certain activities in the gym, such as yoga or pilates, when the instructor has to see well the lines of your body to check that you are doing the right movements.
Neon clothes will make you stand out
Neon colors are not only the trend for this summer, but they are also absolutely perfect for working out! The gym is a great place to test them out and see if you feel comfortable and confident in them.
Plus, they will make you really stand out from the crowd and capture the attention of everyone. Wear either a neon tank top, hoody or pants’ inserts and you will look really cool and stylish.
Choose the right bottom for you
Based on the type of exercise you are doing there will be the right bottom. Shorts are always great, but so are cropped leggings and stretchy pants.
Purchase a few different ones for style and type of pants so you will be sure to always have the right ones for everything. Go for color to pop out from the sea of black clothes in the gym!
Wear short socks
High socks might be quite fashionable right now, but not for working out, when you should always go for short socks both for comfort and style.
They should be cut close to the ankles and made in a very light material, like cotton, that will make your skin breathe and reduce the sweat.
Hair and makeup can make the difference
When you go out for a good workout session, you at least want to look presentable also for what concerns your hair and makeup. Anyhow, if you wear too much makeup it will actually melt and you will end up looking a disaster afterwards.
If you really want to wear it, choose a really sheer and light foundation or better a bb cream. Then just wear some waterproof mascara, but not too much, and you will have your makeup done!
The hair absolutely has to stay away from the face as you do not want to end up with strands of hair sticking onto your sweaty forehead, so anything that will pull them back, like a bun or a ponytail, will be great.
Wear also some hairpins or a hairband to keep the bangs and the shorter strands away.
