FASHION FORWARD FITNESS: PART 2

What happens if you do not have fabulous shopping in your area for fitness attire, or if you simply want to shop from the privacy of your own home? When I am shopping online for workout wear, there are three online sites where I just can't miss. They carry a few of the same brands, but for the most part, they each offer a very different shopping experience.

If you read Undercover411 regularly, you know I am a fan of Net a Porter. But have you heard of Net a Sporter? Net a Sporter is a branch of Net a Porter that carries not just clothing, but accessories too. Net a Sporter carries a wide variety of sportswear. On Net a Sporter, you will find tennis attire and tennis racquet covers, clothing and accessories for golf, equestrian apparel such as  jodhpurs, riding boots and chaps. You can also find unbelievable snow ski  and après ski outfits ( Fendi and Pucci ski jackets). But because I do none of the those sports, I am going to show you the pieces I would have a use for from Net a Sporter. Although, I would like a pair of the old fashion Tretorns they carry, to wear to baseball and soccer games this summer.
SPANX makes leggings and capris.  SPANX Leggings: $62
(I would love to hear from anyone who has tried them!)

Net a Sporter carries both Addidas Original and Addidas by Stella McCartney.

 ADDIDAS ORIGINAL Menire Print Shorts: $45
I love the Menire Shorts for a jog or walk with the dogs.

Orlebar Brown partnered with old PUCCI patterns to create  board shorts and rash guard shirts.
How great would the board shorts look with a solid bikini top?
 Board Shorts:$315
Rash Guard Shirt: $315
 
Bodyism: I Am Heavenly cropped print leggings :$120
 
 I need a rain jacket for everyday wear.
HUNTER: Original Clear Smock Rubber Hooded Jacket-$225
 
Other brands worth noting on Net a Sporter are,  Eres, Norma Kamali, Isabel Marant, and Theory +.
Yes, Theory has its own brand of workout and lounging attire. To get to Net a Sporter, log on to Net a Porter www.netaporter.com At the top, there is a black bar with eleven categories. One of the categories is SPORT, click and you have arrived!
 
If you are looking for basic work out clothes to wear everyday for yoga, running, spinning, weight lifting and walking, head to www.sandiegofit.com
San Diego Fit carries over 30 different brands. Of course I have not tried them all, but my favorites are:
BIA BRAZIL
BLUEFISH SPORT
MARGARITA
 
Bia Brazil calls its capri the best on the market and I agree! I wear these daily for whatever exercise I am doing. There are 19 different colors, and one size fits all. I have seen many different size and shape women in these; they look good on most anyone.
BIA BRAZIL CAPRI TIGHT REAR POCKET CAPRI: $71.95
 
They are made of very thick Brazilian Dupont Supplex Lycra( which means they really hold you in!)
Be carful, though some of the more neon colors are just that!
Other favorites from San Diego Fit are:
ZARA TEREZ CHERRY BLOSSOM CAPRIS: $72.95
GLYDER PAISLEY PRINTMANTRA CAPRI: $55.95
BLUEFISH TUXEDO GO FOR IT CAPRI: $76.95
MARGARITA BLACK CRUSH CAPRI: $82.95
 
The third site you need to visit is:
MICHI CHAMELON TANK: $110
 
THE UPSIDE: RUN SHORT $108

KORAL ACTIVEWEAR: ANGLE TENNIS SKORT $145
 
Also on Carbon 38, you can find old school Le Sport Sac backpacks and travel sets.
 
I have never finished a workout and said, " I am so sorry I did that!"
Fitness and fashion are an important part of my life. Make them a part of yours too.

  1. This post has some really good collection. I also bought ALO yoga pants recently and I am in love with the material. It is very comfortable and makes my workout possible. I really want to get a body like this one day and I am trying to control my diet so much. I am ready to leave the cheese and get fit.
