Spring is already "in full swing" and with it, more and more exercisers will be looking for alternatives to exercise in the fresh air. Exercising outdoors has many benefits and provides a unique experience that can positively affect the body and mind. Are you starting a workout or want to take your exercise to another level? High-quality and appropriately chosen clothing will ensure comfort, adequate support and elasticity during exercise, while the quick-drying effect of the material will take care of sweat removal. Learn with us how to combine quality, functionality and exercise trends when choosing clothes.
ADAPT CLOTHES TO THE SEASON AND WEATHER
Flexible and high-quality fabrics that wick away sweat are the ideal choice for a workout. Since the exercise takes place outside, the season of the year should also be taken into account when purchasing clothing. During warm summer days, choose fabrics that are light, breathable and wick sweat away from the skin. If it's wet or windy, wear another functional layer to protect your skin, such as a waterproof jacket.
In cold weather, dress so that you don't have to take off your clothes after a while of exercise and remember that you will warm up quickly. For the inner layer of the outfit, choose clothing that wicks away sweat, wear a so-called insulating layer on top of that. Don't forget your hat and gloves.
WHEN WORKING OUT, COMFORT IS THE KEY
Workout clothes should be designed to make your workout as comfortable as possible. Nothing must pressure you or be too loose anywhere. There is nothing worse than when you are stretching and your pants fall down or your t-shirt rises every time you bow.
BREATHABILITY AND ELASTICITY
One thing is certain during the workout, you will sweat a lot! However, the goal is not to prevent sweating, but rather to divert it away from the skin and still feel comfortable. Your body must stay dry. Appropriately selected materials are used for this. You can find different types of fabrics on the market, the most commonly used are breathable synthetic fabrics that "evaporate" sweat so you stay dry.
For example, such cotton is preferred in the production of clothes precisely because it is a natural material, it is very pleasant, but it cannot remove sweat from the body, on the contrary, it absorbs it into itself. If you sweat during a workout, the skin stays moist until you take off your clothes. And that is not pleasant and of course it does not add to the aesthetics either.
That's why workout clothes are made of elastane, polyamide and polyester. These are high-quality materials that wick away sweat, adapt to the figure and allow maximum freedom of movement. Our advice is that during such a dynamic exercise as a workout, avoid non-breathable fabrics that steam and thus maintain a high body temperature.
CORRECT FIT AND SIZE
Some prefer looser clothing, others more fitted, so that they can monitor the work of their muscles during exercise. Choose clothes so that you feel comfortable in them. The goal of sportswear is that you hardly feel it on you, which is why we at TIMME produce sportswear exclusively from materials that are like a second skin. Avoid buying pieces that are a size smaller, because the idea that you will lose weight soon is not always as motivating as you think. In addition, smaller clothes prevent freedom of movement, which will annoy you during exercise, and the squeezed skin from leggings, shorts or bras probably won't add to your self-confidence either. During the workout, you need to perform, for example, lunges or squats, and at the same time, nothing should hinder you and nothing should strangle you at all. That's why you need to try on the chosen piece using a few basic exercises, thanks to which you can quickly test whether the clothes fit you even when moving.
If you're shopping online, choose brands that have a size chart on the product so you can choose the right size based on your measurements. If you still can't choose between two sizes, try contacting customer support with a question, or order both sizes and return the one that doesn't fit. At TIMME, you have up to 14 days to exchange or return goods, which allows you to order several pieces in different designs or sizes and decide which one to keep after trying them on.
QUALITY
Any sporting activity is not without falls, bumps and other minor injuries from time to time. All these accompanying phenomena are also reflected in your clothes. Cheap pieces don't last long, so you're forced to buy another pair of shorts, leggings, T-shirt or sweatshirt.
High-quality sportswear stands out for its long service life. It is durable and also represents a kind of protection against scratches, abrasions and wounds. In the end, you will pay much less for a quality piece than for cheap things that you have to keep changing. Such a mindset is also preferred from the point of view of sustainability.
NEON COLORS
Neon colors radiate energy and excitement. They can diversify the design, which makes the piece of clothing appear dynamic and alive. Neon colors are ideal for expressing a sense of excitement about movement. They immediately attract attention with their intense brightness and saturation. They are perfect for people who aim to stand out or make a strong and immediate impression.
If you're not a fan of bold neon colors, don't buy them just because they're trendy or on sale. No one has ever ruined anything with an "all black outfit" or an outfit based on earthy or soft pastel colors. You wear the clothes, not them! Do not fall for trends at all costs, if you are not identified with them, keep your own timeless minimalist style.
