Summer is coming and that means it’s time to start pulling out your extra hot weather exercise gear. Let’s be real, some of your workout stuff probably needs replacing. If you’re scanning the web for the best sustainable workout clothes for summer and feel like you’re getting buried in all of the good options, let us help you slim down your search. First, let’s start by making your summer 2021 workout clothes wishlist, and then we’ll take a look at some bangin’ eco-friendly brands we think you’ll dig!
Summer Workout Clothes Wishlist
If you’re a fitness guru you know that activewear has additional features that help support your comfort and abilities when at play. These special qualities show up in the breathability, stretchiness, structure, and overall fit of the item. Every time the seasons change it’s good to check what you have in your closet and see what you need to replace:
- Ankle socks.
- Lightweight shorts or leggings.
- Sports bras.
- Sleeveless or short sleeve shirts.
- Shoes that provide ample support specific to your feet and gate.
- Hats, headbands, or hair-ties to pull your hair out of your face.
Though you may already have most of these things, make sure they still fit comfortably so you’re not experiencing any discomfort during or after your workout or activity. Nobody wants to feel amazing after a good workout just to be out of commission for the next week with a big old blister on their toe. The fabric used also plays a major role, so make sure your fitness gear contains materials that are:
- Moisture resistant.
- Stretchy.
- Lightweight.
- Comfy.
