The New "Power Suit"
There's something to be said for the power suit'. The name alone speaks volumes. Think confidence, strength, attention getting. Now apply the same principle to workout apparel.

When it's cold outside, you want to keep warm between workouts.

What's a girl to wear this season?
Yoga-Mama:
Choose loose, comfy, no binding clothing that allows you to bend and twist in a variety of positions.
Avoid buttons and zippers which may be uncomfortable when lying down.
Bring an additional layer with you since you will often remain motionless and your body will quickly cool down.
Gym-Mama:
If you're quick to heat up, start off with a long sleeve t-shirt over a tank top that you can quickly remove while in action. The more skin you expose the faster you cool down, so tank tops and shorts are perfect.
Choose fitted clothes instead of loose, flapping clothing that can cause chafing and discomfort or worse get caught in equipment.
Choose a comfortable fitness bra with no clasps or straps to provide support and help wick sweat away. The right fitness bra is an essential layer for even small-busted women.
Pavement Pounding-Mama:
Dress for the weather. Your first layer should be comfortable and sweat wicking, so you stay nice and dry. Start with the right sports bra and athletic top.
A secondary layer for insulation. Long sleeve athletic shirts with a cotton lycra mix for warmer days or a thin microfleece for colder days.
Your outerwear should be water proof and wind proof. Look for Goretex windbreakers or similar breathable jackets with an integrated hood, pockets for accessories and vents for cooling off
Mittens (no gloves, mittens are warmer), hat, socks and glasses. Remember you lose 25% of your body heat through your head.
