How to be fashionable while working out

Fashion is architecture; it is a matter of proportions. ~ Coco Chanel

Fashion is everywhere, it is in the wind, in the sky, inside your black diary or even inside your gym. Yes, your gym. Why do you go to gym anyway? Why do you work out? So that you can stay fit, have that lean to-die-for body & wear nice clothes and look ravishing all the time. Right. So why do we forget to be fashionable while we are actually working our heads off to achieve that rocking athletic body. Oh.. When I say ‘Athletic body’ I can’t help but think of the upcoming Bollywood biographical, sports film releasing on July 12th, 2013, ‘Bhaag Milkha bhaag‘ based on the former Indian athlete Milkha Singh. And thinking about such movies does inspire to loose that extra fat around your belly areas. And as I said before, fashion is everywhere so be fashionable and look fabulous even when you sweat it out that extra fat.
Jabong.com, one of the leading online shopping stores in India, recently came up with an  Exclusive Sports collection of ‘Bhaag Milka Bhaag’. So looking fab even while working out in gym or on joggers park is super-easy now.

Here are some fashion tips for you Fitness freaks:

• The most important thing is to wear the clothes you are comfortable in and that allows your body a great range of motion because you have to exercise in them and your main focus should be on your work out regime not on your cloths.
• Do not wear your delicate designer clothing because after a few workout sessions, they’ll only be ready for the garbage. Opt for something that is essentially made for it.
• Go for a simple yet elegant outfit.
  For Men— Wearing multicolored T-shirts is a big No-No specially that don’t match the color of your pants and/or sneakers. Your entire ensemble should consist of 2 or 3 colors or tones. Anything beyond that will lead to a fashion disaster. You don’t want that specially when you are trying to impress bu those rock hard abs.
  For Women— Always wear something chic-feminine yet sporty. Again avoid bring a rainbow but these days mix-n-match and contrasts are in so you can exceed more then 3 tones but keep in mind that there should be symmetry in your outfit. Like if you want to go bold, go for ‘Color-Blocking’ or ‘Clashing-neon’ or stick to safe combination of 2-3 toned outfit.
• Important – If you perspire a lot, do not wear light gray or white T-shirts because sweat stains under your armpits will make you look rather unattractive and filthy.
• Wear T-shirts with not-so-flashy or simply discreet logos such as Reebok, Puma, Adidas, or Nike. Too flashy Logos look good with pyjamas at home, not in Gym.
• And if you have a fit body, then don’t be shy to flaunt it, wear fit stretchable clothing to make everyone green with envy.
