Athletic Fashion? Don’t sweat it! The Lulu Lemon ‘No Limits Tank’ is popular among yoga enthusiasts. Photo by Lulu Lemon. by Brienne Welton Perhaps you are familiar with street fashion, but do you know the many do’s and dont’s of Athletic fashion? Some people build an athletic outfit designed to be trendy, rather than throwing on their ‘sweaties’. Some wonder why people go to so much trouble to look fashionable when working out. Isn’t the point of exercise to exude sweat, not beauty? However, with all the new styles displayed at our local athletic retailers, it’s not surprising people are leaving tracksuits at the back of their closets in favor of these trends. The major athletic trend this season are black athletic leggings. This must-have accessory is slimming, comfortable and goes with practically everything. The sleek look of these leggings has found its way into everyday fashion, a sure sign of their popularity. Whether you pair them with an athletic top or a cozy winter sweater and boots, these leggings are the go-to item for comfort and easy style. Bright neon, which may once have been considered tacky and garish is now regularly worn by many gym goers, men and women alike. Lulu Lemon Athletica released a line of vivid work-out wear which can be seen not only in the gyms but yoga studios, dance classes and even in the halls of KSS. A noteworthy trend at Lulu in women’s athletics is the ‘No Limits Tank’, which has received top ratings at the The One Tooth ‘Left Right Top’ modeled in red. Photo contributed by One Tooth. Kelowna store. According to the official site, “The thin straps and racerback cut allow you to twist with ease.” The loose fit makes this tank top and sports bra combo perfect for a variety of body shapes. Lulu lemon, while renowned for high quality fashionable athletic wear, is also known for its high prices. For those who long for the colorful sporty look of Lululemon without the expense can purchase similar styles at various retailers at a lower price. The style of a ‘Cool Racerback’ tank at Lulu lemon can be achieved through the ‘Left Right Top’ or the ‘Trim Top’ at OneTooth Activewear, a Canadian Athletics company that is located along with Lulu Lemon on Bernard. Lulu’s legendary black flared yoga pants are priced at over $100 yet a similar style, Under Armour Perfect Fitted Pants, can be found at Sport Check for $69.99. The problem with athletic fashion is that it’s easy to let pressures of looking good get in the way of actually working out. Don’t stress about your clothes! Exercise requires focus to be safe, and those distracted by the fit of their clothes will not get as much out of their workout as others who are completely comfortable. If what you’re wearing becomes too big of an issue, don’t hesitate to just throw on your ‘sweaties’. The key to athletic fashion is functionality; all other aspects are second priority. grunge: back with vengeance by Esme Jackson A modern day fashion icon, Miley Cyrus made her grunge debut last year when she made the choice to throw away her long bob for an edgy pixie-cut. Grunge has been creeping up behind us for a while now as we return to the days of denim and Dr.Martens. With modern day icons such as Miley Cyrus, Hannah Murray and fashion designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the popular look has begun to take hold of the fashion industry once again. Grunge began back in the early 1990’s with the influence of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and his wife, Courtney Love. Fashion designer Marc Jacobs also saw the potential of the trend, as he took grunge to the editorials of Perry Ellis in 1992. Now, fashion designers such as Richard Chai, Phillip Lim and Dries Van Noten are bringing back a more polished look to the unpolished trend. Enter: creepers, layers and an abundance of colored hair dye. But why, so suddenly, are we running back to the days of Cobain and Kate Moss? Some argue that with the prospect of recession comes the prospect of saving a dime and shopping second-hand, much like they did during the recession back in the early 1990s. So, with that in mind, I encourage you to run to your closest thrift shop and grab a hold of what you can, before it’s too late. Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, also said to have pioneered grunge fashion with his infamous flannel and ripped jeans. CENSOR THIS MARCH 6 2013 15
