Running Shoes
Though their importance seems minimal in the fashion sense, running shoes have become a popular fashion statement for runners and gym junkies alike. With a variety of new styles and fits, be sure to choose the pair that look good and improve your workouts.
- Bright: Bright colored sneaks are making a splash in the fitness world. Ascis and New Balance are leading the charge with loads of standout sneakers, ranging from tie dye to neon pinks, greens and purples.
- Minimalist: Barefoot running was a trend last year and it still is now. However, a number of brands are making shoes that mimic the barefoot feel while maintaining comfort and style. The homepage of NewBalance.com reads, “Modern stability meets luxurious cushioning. Experience the next generation of running…” But, they aren’t the only ones who are boasting about their new shoe styles. Nearly every major shoe brand, from Saucony to New Balance and Vibram has minimalist options for you to choose from.
Shirts

- Make a Statement: T-shirts and tank tops take on new meaning this fall. Tanks that read “Beast Mode” and “Eat Clean, Train Dirty” inspire you to push harder through each and every workout. Even better, ViewSport sells tees and tanks that reveal these messages after you’ve sweat through the fabric. Just more motivation to have a strong workout.
- Racerback: Gabriela Shavez, a fashion and beauty reporter for Examiner.com, said that designer racer backs are, “… fashion-forward yet highly functional, it’s racerback design lets you move with ease while its straps stay in place and it’s universally flattering fit and sleek design is perfect for yogi’s of all shapes and sizes, proving that you can reach clarity while looking cool and chic.” Lululemon is even marketing their line of these tanks with #coolracerback.
