Six Trends to Stay in Style while Staying in Shape

So what are the trends in fitness fashion that will help you stay in style while staying in shape? There are many. Here are six that stand out:

1. Neons and bright color. It’s still chic to wear the basic black especially with all of the new details showing up on apparel but don’t forget color. It’s big this year and it’s bright. Break out the color this summer with volt yellow, neon lime greens, and coral. There are so many bright colors to pick from and you should feel free to mix it up with unusual pairings. If you’re not sure what colors to mix together look for inspiration in other work out gear. For example, I’ve found color combinations in shoes that I never would’ve imagined. Then I put the color together in my clothes. Find your inspiration anywhere and mix it up!

2. Sheer, mesh, and perforation. It’s new and it can be a bit sexy depending on how revealing the pieces you find are. When I first saw sheer leggings I was skeptic. I didn’t think the fabric would wear or wash well but I have to say the items I’ve purchased are fun and seem to be holding up. Of course, you should always read the labels and take proper care when washing fitness clothes. Read my blog on How to Wash Your Work Out Clothes.

If you’re a person that doesn’t like to wear shorts you’ll appreciate this trend. The inserts will work as ventilation and will keep you cool when working out in the heat. Style and comfort. What more could you ask for?

3. Cut outs. Similar to number two but well, different. You will notice fabric cut outs on leggings and tops. Especially, the backs of tops. You can also show off the new strappy lingerie inspired sports bras with the cut out trend. Work your lats ladies because with cut outs you can show off your hard work!

4. Florals. You’ll find floral on bottoms, tops, and jackets. There’s a bit of floral for everyone. Just keep it simple; you don’t want to look like a walking bouquet.

5. Back detailing: This goes with #3 cut outs, and #2 sheer, mesh and perforation. It can be any type of detailing: ruffles, satin, inserts and cut outs. The back is in.

6. Pattern. Leggings, capris, and shorts have a lot of pattern this year. It’s not subtle and it doesn’t seem to matter what the pattern is. I’ve seen a nod to almost every animal print on leggings including python, leopard, even mermaid-like fish scales! You’ll also find geometrics, skulls, photographic nature scenes, lots of floral, bold stripes, and about anything else you can imagine. Companies will even custom print your leggings for you.

If you’ve never worn pattern on your leggings before don’t be afraid. Pattern can actually camouflage flaws and yes, even a horizontal stripe will can be fantastic!

I know basic black is classic. It’s great to build your fitness fashion wardrobe with the staples and a black capri is definitely part of that. So if black is your thing stretch yourself and make your next purchase a nice black top to go with a new pair of geometric leggings☺
