From sconce to sneakers: 15 sports items from the mass market
Dasha Prince
We already wrote about how brands of the mass market launch entire lines and sub-brands dedicated to sport and active life. Often these are things that look good both in the hall and in the office with a loose dress code. In the sneakers from the mass market one should not conquer mountain peaks or run marathons, but for everyday situations they are great, besides they are relatively inexpensive. We chose five categories of sports items in the mass market no more than 5,000 rubles, and we tell you what is remarkable about them.
Sconce
Sports bra should support everything you need to support. It is one thing - a light sconce, which is necessary for ballet, and another thing - when practicing jogging or on a trampoline. Agree, there is a difference. When choosing a sconce, you need to jump several times - your chest should not live its own life at this moment. If you have any doubts, choose another model of bra. During the search for a sconce, first of all, you should look at the assortment in a linen mass market like Oysho or Intimissimi: in their sports lines the choice is wide and varies depending on the degree of support. Owners of large breasts will be pleased that all models are presented up to size XL. As for tight sports bras, you need to remember that they should not sit too tight, dig into the skin or hurt. I hardly need to explain why.
Leggings
They can be short or long, monophonic or with a print, cotton or special sports materials - the mass market offers a huge selection. And yet it is better not to save on leggings. The sports form of frankly cheap fabrics will quickly stretch and will look sloppy after the first wash. Look for suitable sales options. Various mesh inserts, elastic belt of contrast fabric, inconspicuous seams often make the model more interesting. And, of course, know how to say goodbye to things - in active occupations for more than six months, leggings cannot live in principle.
Top
Many go to the gym in the usual large-size T-shirts that are not designed specifically for training. There is nothing wrong with this, but if there is a desire and an opportunity - try to wear tops made of special temperature-controlled materials that better let air through, absorb moisture and dry faster. Being engaged in such, you can focus on sports as much as possible. In any case, do not forget about special bras, even if the size of your chest tends to 0.
Sneakers
It's simple. If your main training is to walk from work to the subway, choose any sneakers. If you are going to run a marathon, then the loss of the original appearance by the sneakers is far from the worst thing to fear. Running shoes for running need to be selected depending on the thousands of features, and if you want to avoid injuries, it should be done only with a specialist in a sports store. The mass market offers a huge selection of sneakers, and modern options (forgive us collectors of cult models Nike and adidas) are quite competitive with sports brands - but only in terms of design.
Accessories
Wristbands, waist bags, rubber bands, gloves — you often don’t want to spend a lot of money on sports stuff. Moreover, no matter how expensive they are, they are unlikely to last that long. Exit - affordable shops with a wide range of clothing and accessories. Yes, sometimes the accessories there look too pretentious and bright, but it's worth trying.
