T-Shirts and Performance Wear

There are plenty of companies working on improving performance clothing. Performance clothing includes specialised clothing for athletes and other people requiring garments that move easily with the body. This type of clothing can include anything from plain t-shirts to ski clothes. Performance clothing includes the newest special wicking material which efficiently keeps the clothes and body dry.

Unfortunately many of the performance clothing lines have not been particularly fashionable. But many athletic clothing companies are trying to change that image. They are working to change the unfashionable image of workout wear by combining the high performance materials with a fashionable design. The lucy Power Gym Collection is a good example of a set of performance clothing that is designed for power workouts. The fashion aspect of the workout line of clothing is bright and chic. Who said you had to look grungy in order to workout? Not the lucy Activewear brand of clothing!

The forward performance athletic clothing includes vibrant and unusual colours, contrast stitching, and moisture-wicking ability. The tops and bottoms are coordinated but you can buy simple tees elsewhere and pair them with the pants if you want. Many of the pants offered for sale are made with the low rise waist design for comfort and style. There are clothes for yoga, the gym, travel, exercising and more.

The lucy Activewear company is based in Portland, Oregon and began making the innovative clothing in 2000 with great success. The line of clothing was created in order to promote active lifestyles for women. You can combine the new athletic pants with comfortable cotton t-shirts or the lucy Activewear coordinated top. The lucy Activewear, Inc. company was bought in August 2007 by VF Corporation. The most interesting design feature developed by lucy Activewear is the pocket built into the bra for convenience. It is called the “brocket” and makes it convenient to carry a key or other small items.
