Fashion wear vs active wear
Ultimately, sportswear is split into two main categories. Activewear which is specifically designed to be worn when someone is participating in sports, or some form of physical exercise, and fashion sportswear which is clothing that has been designed with a specific relaxed approach in mind, with a view to being easy to care for. From around 1870, garments were being specifically designed for active women. These activities mainly consisted of horseriding and cycling, tennis, swimming and yachting, as well as archery. Although being intended for the sporting pursuits, often these garments would be worn for everyday wear. In more recent years, activewear and fashion sportswear have become combined again.
The birth of athleisure
Athleisure is a relatively recent fashion trend which sees clothing that has been specifically designed for athletic activities such as workouts and competitive sports being worn in different settings. This is often casual settings such as social occasions, but is also at work or in a school setting. This trend is similar to one which sportswear saw in the pre-1920s but differs slightly from the fashion sportswear trend that began decades prior, as athleisure wear is designed more to be 'dressed up' athletic clothing rather than as everyday wear.
The benefits of activewear
By designing and manufacturing activewear specifically for use during sports and athletic activities, we are able to tailor the way that it's made, and the properties of the fabrics which are used. Sports fabrics are technical materials. They are used to help keep the wearer comfortable. The type of textile used varies greatly dependant on the intensity of the activity.
Agile and airy
One of the main factors taken into consideration when making that decision is the weight of the fabric itself. Men's fitness wear materials are often lightweight so that they don't overburden the wearer. Certain activities such as cycling require clothing that doesn't create any drag; they need to be streamlined.
Unrestrained activity
Being nonrestrictive is also a key factor when designing custom sportswear, and freedom of movement is often achieved in one of two ways. Either the garments need to be loose enough to allow movement - such as in martial arts - or they would be made from a textile which benefits from great stretch and recovery - such as those used in wrestling and swimming.
Temperature and moisture control
Another key feature of fabrics used for custom sportswear made specifically for a particular activity is its thermal properties. Your clothing needs to allow you to stay cool when you're in a hot situation just as much as it is necessary it keeps you warm in a cold situation. It needs to be able to transfer sweat away from the skin. Moisture-wicking fabrics are particularly good for this.
Accessorise away
But not in the traditional sense of the word. Some sports require more than appropriate garments, they also need protective wear. Some activities such as fencing require full protective attire, some require pads, head gear, eye or full-face shields or mouth guards. Often in these sports, you are still able to wear your usual gym wear for men but you need to adorn it with protective accessories.
Men's custom sportswear
Taking all of this into account, it's no wonder that men's fitness wear has historically been so bland. When you factor in how many other things have had to be so carefully thought out, it's somewhat unsurprising that colour, pattern, and design was but a mere afterthought. Once it became apparent that this was an oversight, many people went overboard with it. This left an array of sportswear that was either plain and dark tones, or garish hues and designs in fluorescent colours.
