Sneaker Politics

Are we still trying to keep up with the Jones's? Collaborations such as Balmain & Alexander Wang for H&M, En Noir for Gap, and 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target has made it affordable for us to own some of the designers worn by our favorite celebrities. Who would've thought that high end designers are inspired by popular (more affordable) sportswear brands? Lately Alexander McQueen, Celine, and Louis Vuitton have released sneakers with silhouettes similar to both Nike and Adidias concepts. Don't believe me? Just watch.

New Year, New You, New Sports Bra?

Getting back in the gym is the go to New Years Resolution for just about everybody that over ate during the holidays. But believe it or not more women are starting to get just as serious about the gym as men. Whether you're a newbie or a vet, knowing what sports bra suits you best is a must! Let's go over the basics. 

1. Sizing: By default the belief is you have to go down a size for the most support. Not quite. Brands such as Moving Comfort, Nike, and Victoria Secret offer sports bra by the cup size. 

2. Support: The lowest impact sports bra can be found any where from $5 & below at Walmart, but that doesn't mean that's what's best for you. The bigger your cup size the more support you need. Easy indicator: if the girls don't stay put when you're on the treadmill, you need more support. 

3. Wear and Tear: Like most, if not all work out wear, sports bras have that sweat-wicking/ Dri fit technology in them. Unfortunately thanks to sweat and bacteria that technology does not last forever. The more you frequent the gym the sooner you need to swap out bras. The typical sports bra is good for 3-6 months. 

Get out there! Here's some reasonably priced sports bras for all support levels.  

Low/Light Support

$12.90 @ Forever 21

Medium Support

2 for $50 @ Victoria Secret ($32.50 Regular Price
