Winter sportswear is increasingly found in the wardrobes of not only young fashionistas. Sports style fits perfectly into the lives of women of any age. And this is quite natural, because comfortable, convenient winter sportswear for women is always appreciated. You just need to choose the right things.
Popular types
The main problem with outdoor sports in winter is that when actively moving, a person sweats quickly and can catch a cold in damp clothes. Therefore, manufacturers offer different wardrobe options to solve this problem.
Thermal clothing
The ideal option for sports equipment is thermal clothing, which allows the body to feel comfortable in any situation:
- active activities lead to strong sweating and thermal underwear quickly removes moisture, preventing the body from cooling. Almost all women's models are two-layer. The base is synthetic, to which a little cotton is added;
- Thanks to special membranes, the outer thermal clothing also has a “breathing” effect, removing moisture to the outside without losing heat.
Fleece
Beautiful, comfortable women's fleece clothing is very popular. This is a material in which the pile and base are one whole. Clothing made from high-quality fleece has many advantages:
- durable, lightweight,
- pleasant to look at, to the touch, retains heat well during active recreation;
- dries quickly, “breathes” well;
- does not cause allergic reactions.
The most common models of sports equipment are sweatshirts and hoodies. Modern anti-pilling treatments allow us to produce items whose pile does not roll and clothes will remain pleasantly fluffy for a long time. Beautiful designer models of sports fleece jackets and suits have confidently taken their place in the everyday wardrobe of fashionistas.
Skiing
For active skiing, just warm clothes from the closet are not enough. You need specially selected equipment that will make a walk in the forest or descent along the ski slope comfortable and safe. Many people prefer multi-layered clothing:
- thermal underwear wicks away moisture and dries quickly;
- fleece jacket keeps you warm;
- Ski jacket protects from cold wind, precipitation. The material of the clothes repels water, dirt, so you can fall into the snow without fear.
As a rule, skiers' clothes are made smart and bright. They are not only comfortable, but also light, which is very important for long winter walks or training.
Overalls
Manufacturers offer professional sportswomen equipment in the form of a jumpsuit. Thanks to the tight cut, the clothes reduce air resistance, which is of great importance for achieving high sports results. The cuffs and collar of the jumpsuit fit tightly enough to the body to protect the athlete from the piercing wind as much as possible.
Models for ski lovers are made looser, have pockets in which you can store small items or just warm your hands. Clothes with reinforced protection on the elbows or knees will be useful for beginners.
Overalls are made of polyester and nylon. When choosing a model, you need to consider that thicker fabric lasts longer, but weighs more.
Outerwear
An excellent solution for winter sports equipment is suits consisting of a jacket and trousers. Moreover, the jacket can be zipped to the trousers. Winter clothing is usually made in a loose cut. The force of air resistance becomes unimportant, and manufacturers pay more attention to the design of the suit, its comfort. Designers offer jackets of different cuts and styles: anoraks, parkas.
Models with a membrane layer are popular, they are distinguished by their lightness, but are not warm enough for winter. Raincoat or tarpaulin are most often used as the material for the outer layer of the jacket.
The length of the models can be different, jackets can be both short and long, it all depends on the type of sport you plan to do in them. Almost all models are equipped with a thick, sometimes insulated hood.
Trousers
Trousers can be with a regular belt or with a high waist and straps. Before choosing clothes from different manufacturers, you need to know how to determine the size of women's clothing. Models made from bologna are popular and are very practical in cold weather. There must be a layer of synthetic padding or other insulation inside. A mandatory element is the presence of protective elastic bands on the bottom of the legs, which will protect against snow getting inside the pants during sports.
Winter walkers spend less energy during active recreation than professional athletes. Therefore, pants are made warmer. A great addition to the equipment is a vest that can be worn over fleece clothing or over a jacket for additional warmth.
Rules for choosing by body type
Good winter gear is not cheap. You need to know exactly how to determine your clothing size. Even if you need a wardrobe for playing snowballs, and not for visiting ski resorts, you need to be careful when choosing it. If the size of outerwear is chosen incorrectly, then a loose suit will "hang" unattractively, and any tight clothing will restrict movement.
The owner of the "hourglass" figure has the same volume of hips and waist. A thin waist is an advantage of the figure, and you can emphasize the ideal forms with a winter jumpsuit. An excellent option for winter equipment will be suits with a tight jacket.
For women with other body types, designers suggest choosing winter sets. Looking at a jacket and trousers of different sizes and styles, it is easy to choose a suit that will not only “fit” but also visually correct the proportions of the body. How to do it correctly:
- ladies with broad shoulders and narrow hips should choose short, tight-fitting jackets and loose trousers;
- For those with wide hips and narrow shoulders, suits with long, straight-cut jackets and straight, tight-fitting (but not tight) trousers are suitable.
In order not to make a mistake with the choice, it is important to consider what size range the country of the clothing manufacturer has. To determine the Russian clothing size, measure the chest circumference and divide by two. This is the main parameter when buying things.
Famous brands
Manufacturers of women's winter sportswear strive to take into account the different tastes and preferences of customers. Naturally, equipment from a well-known brand is more expensive. But most often the price is quite justified, because companies use modern technologies, create models of increased comfort, and take into account fashion trends.
Nike makes clothes of both classic (long jackets) and youth (short models, sports jackets). The company's range is distinguished by bright red, blue, green shades. But fans of achromatic shades are not forgotten either: black and white sets look restrained, but not gloomy. Things are sewn from different materials: membrane fabric, leather, bologna. Overalls decorated with fur look stylish both at a ski resort and on a walk in the city winter park.
Adidas creates clothes that are great for any kind of sport. The company produces winter sportswear for women in two directions:
- The equipment for young people is distinguished by its smart appearance, presented in bright shades (crimson, blue, red, purple). The following styles of jackets are common: shortened models with stand-up collars and long cuffs. The knitted elastic band along the bottom of the jacket will help to retain heat and protect the body from cold air;
- classic elongated models are more versatile and look great on women of any age. The restrained color scheme (black, white, gray) gives the items a modest but elegant look. The belt and hood provide excellent protection from bad weather and decorate the jacket.
Reebok sews women's sportswear, the distinctive features of which are a special cut that maintains an even distribution of insulation. The equipment is easy to care for thanks to the special impregnation of the materials. Jackets of different lengths, as a rule, have a slightly fitted silhouette.
Since winter is famous for its changeable weather, beautiful and warm winter sportswear will make active recreation on weekends comfortable and will allow you to look fashionable on weekdays.
