How do I choose my sportswear?

If the look is personal, choosing a sports outfit has common and essential criteria. You don't practice fitness in pants, or yoga in a dress? If you have carefully chosen your pair of running shoes, pay the same attention to certain sporting requirements... from the most feminine to the most basic!

Maintenance first

One in five women give up sport because of their breasts. However, there are support solutions adapted to each physical activity, whatever your size. First determine the type of impact caused by your activity: yoga, pilates, weight training or gentle gym, for example, include few sudden movements. You will need to favor flexibility and the absence of seams, for optimal comfort. Sports such as fitness, running, tennis or dancing, on the other hand, require perfect support. Choose a quality bra. Big chest? Double the support with an adapted bra and a top with integrated support.

Specific sports outfits

Solo coaching or indoor sport, some sports activities require appropriate clothing. Running, for example, requires an outfit that is neither too loose nor too tight: the former slows your pace, with the risk of tripping over the excess fabric. The second causes irritation due to friction and hinders blood circulation. The same goes for bodybuilding. Have you chosen modern dances, fitness, zumba? Comfort and flexibility are the watchwords. Biking, on the other hand, requires leggings with extra thickness under the buttocks.

Which material to choose?

For a punchy body, priority to antiperspirant fibres! While cotton becomes heavy with perspiration, synthetic fibers wick it away easily. For comfort as for the smell, opt for outfits in polyamide or polyester, flexible and airy. Not to mention a percentage of elastane, guaranteeing the elasticity of your sportswear… a useful quality for stretching, yoga and other stretching exercises. Do you run outdoors? Make way for merino wool, natural, warm and antiperspirant. For comfort, choose a light fabric. Soft on the skin with minimal seams, your sports gear should go unnoticed.
