Men’s activewear has a huge global market that is still growing… rapidly. And if you’re looking to purchase for yourself, it is easy to get overwhelmed with the choices available. To help you, this list contains 7 tips that you must consider while buying men’s sportswear.
-
Note down your physical measurements
Activewear sizes are not the same as regular clothing. This type of clothing is flexible and has plenty of room so that you can stretch, twist, or jump freely. Before going shopping, it’s best to note down your body’s measurements to pick the perfect size for yourself easily.
Sometimes the M size of a particular brand can be the L size of another brand. Be aware of that. While trial, check the fitting and flexibility of the active wear. If the cloth perfectly fits your body but doesn’t allow free movement, it will be of no use, and vice versa. So it’s important to have both qualities in your sportswear.
-
Select a compatible fabric
You need a fabric that can absorb sweat quickly and be stretchable. This will help you to exercise for long hours. Most people select cotton for men’s activewear, but I will suggest you try blended fabric.
This kind of fabric has 80% cotton and 20% polyester or spandex, which allows your cloth to soak up all the moisture and prevent chafing. If you have sensitive skin, go for bamboo fibers, recycled coffee ground fabric, etc. All these fabrics are sustainable and eco-friendly.
-
Read the reviews
This goes for both online and offline shopping. Active Wears are like an investment. You really don’t want to buy cheap gym wear that will tear down after wearing it 4-5 times or lose elasticity.
If you plan to buy it from an offline store, research a little. Understand what brands are providing quality activewear at a reasonable price. Watch videos, read blogs, or go to different brands’ online shopping stores on amazon and check the reviews there.
If you are doing online shopping, read the reviews of that specific activewear. Then, take some time and browse different platforms to find authentic feedback. If you see a pattern in the problems, that might be true.
Make your decision after knowing the pros and cons. Don’tThen, don’t forget to check their social media pages to see their engagement. It’s a great way to measure how much the brand is liked by its customers.
-
Consider your sports type
There are different activewear for different sports. For example, you cannot perform yoga wearing basketball shorts. So, check if the brand has categorized its products or not. Most brands do that, but in case your preferred brand hasn’t, check what exercises you can do with that activewear. If information is unavailable, contact their customer care to gain more details on that product.
-
Go for your favorite color
It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an athlete; you should always purchase your favorite colored activewear. It gives you more confidence and helps you to stay motivated every day. Don’t consider what other people are going to think about your red or blue sportswear. Staying true to your liking is essential to build your fashion statement. It’s also important if you are an active social media user and love to share workout selfies here and there.
-
Search for extra features
Every brand tries to provide unique features to make the activewear workout-friendly and boost its sales. Therefore, you should take advantage of this opportunity to get some extra features on your sportswear.
But finding every brand and reading all their features requires a lot of time. So instead, you can note down your desirable features and search accordingly. It’s the fastest way to find your preferred activewear.
-
Keep your city’s weather conditions in mind
Weather is an essential factor in terms of buying clothes. For example, you cannot invest in breathable clothing while living in a heavy rainfall area because it will be of no use. Instead, you have to look for waterproof material. So, consider your city’s current and upcoming weather conditions and buy accordingly.
Over to you…
Now that you know all the tips, you can buy the best activewear for yourself. Just make sure the clothes are comfortable and functional – meaning the cuts and fit don’t create problems while performing a pose. Â
