Spring time is one of the most popular seasons to start buying and breaking out work out clothes and getting back out in the streets and trails for a good run. If you’re in the market for some new duds or are just getting started with a jogging regimen, you should know that not all work out clothes are created equal and that there are a few things you need to look for when you’re buying running clothes for women.
1. Sweat Wicking Clothes
One of the most important elements to look for when you’re buying new running clothes is to look for sweat wicking material — especially in the spring time when temperatures can still get a little chilly. A lot of types of material actually just get soaked with sweat and can make you feel cold in the later part of a run. Moisture wicking clothes, on the other hand, help draw sweat away from the body which can make you feel dry and not chill your skin.
2. A Quality Sports Bra
Another important part of buying sports clothes for women is finding a quality sports bra. You should look for a couple of different bras if running is something you do every day. One of the most important things about a sports bra is the fit, so make sure that you find the right one in the right size and replace it when the elastic gets worn or if your weight changes.
3. Fashionable Staples
Only 7% of people wear work out clothes just to exercise in, so finding fashionable activewear these days is a must. It’s essential to have a few basic staples to build exercise outfits from and to be able to layer with regular clothing so that you don’t have to worry about changing out of your workout clothes just to run a few errands before heading home. Pick up a couple of pairs of black leggings and some black tank tops to start your wardrobe.
