Thomas Jefferson made an immortal declaration when he said that “All men are created equal”. This however does not hold true for sportswear. If you step into a sports clothing store and just pick out anything off the racks, thinking that they’re all the same, well, you couldn’t be more wrong. Women often make the mistake of buying sportswear intended for men without realizing it.

When shopping for women’s sportswear, here are some things you must consider:
- Buy a sports bra. Whatever type of sport you engage yourself in, you’ll need all the “support” you can get. All that physical activity will take its toll on your breasts, so it’s imperative that you get a bra specially made for that purpose. Don’t be shy to have your measurements taken at the store. Wearing the right fitting sports bra will help you go about your physical activity with much more ease.
- When shopping for tops, choose those which do not restrict movement. If you’re doing yoga, for instance, you’d do well do choose a fitted yoga top, so you can do those yoga poses unencumbered.
- If you want to bring out the fashionista in you as you jog around the park, you can opt to buy a tracksuit. These are pretty popular because they are very comfortable and perfect for jogging in cold weather. You can even buy designer tracksuits if you prefer.
- Short of consulting your favorite fashion blog for last minute shopping tips while you’re inside a sportswear store, you can always ask for advice from the store staff. They’ll only be more willing to help you with your shopping.
Always keep in mind that wearing the proper sports gear will help you move better as you exercise, so do put a lot of thought into shopping for sportswear.
