TENNIS CORE ????
After the movie Challengers with Zendaya, we are all keen to jump into our tennis outfits, and it doesn't even have to be to actually play tennis. Because there’s also everyday outfits with a (subtle) hint of the tennis core trend.
Which Fibre Mood patterns can you get started with? Think Gedda or Amira skirt in shortened form, well hello tennis skirt! Pair with a fitted Cheryl bodysuit, loose Erica T-shirt or go all the way with the Amber polo top! Do you like having a dress? Then the Lennox dress with the drop waist and pleated skirt is the ideal option.
On cooler days you can finish with a sporty Vinny, boxy Lara or Mika jumper. ????
BASKETBALL VIBES ????
Oversized and casual, a vibe represented by influencers at fashion weeks. Think loose shorts with long oversized t-shirts or blouses, all ready to take on the basketball court!
Fibre Mood patterns to bring out your inner basketballer are the Rachel bermuda, a short version of Freja paired with the Carry blouse or Clara top.
LET'S GO TO THE GYM ????
Outfit to walk into the gym feeling stylish and confident? For that, you're looking for comfort with a touch of chic! Then be sure to think of Cheryl, Lucca as a bodysuit, Elza tank top, and pair with the ever-comfortable Pax joggers.
LET'S TALK FABRICS!
Fabrics for sportswear are often lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying and, of course, breathable.
Different fabrics can suit different sports - for tennis and running you it’s common to use fabrics that are very stretchy for form fitting clothing, whereas for basketball and football you are more likely to wear loose clothing.
Commonly used fibres for activewear can be found here ????
- Lycra (= Nylon/Polyamide/ + Elastane)
- Polyester
- Microfibre
- Bamboo
- Cotton (e.g. in fleece, french terry for training, jumpers...)
