Fitness Fashion: Then and Now
With more active wear options than ever before, fitness fashion is in right now, and not just at the gym. Walking on a Cloud explores some of the most popular fitness fashions over the years, as well as what popular items are in workout wardrobes of the modern day.
The 1930s and 1950s
Fitness was dominated mostly by men since women of this period were encouraged to be feminine, not muscular.
The 50s and 60s
Fitness TV emerged, which allowed people to exercise in the privacy of their own homes.
The 1970s and 1980s
Physical fitness became a chance to showcase style and status. Leg-warmer clad women dressed in neon thong leotards worked for the burn but also to maintain their image.
The 1990s
Fitness research inspired a back-to-basics approach to working out. Group fitness took the place of high-tech gym equipment, and fun matching tracksuits and cropped tank tops were the trending fitness fashions.
Early 2000s
The new millennium brought an explosion of workout options with the growth of activities from cycling to kickboxing to Pilates—all of which demanded fresh fitted outerwear. This decade introduced us to yoga pants and the phenomenon known as “yoga booty.”
Today
Moisture-wicking, breathability, built-in support, and performance optimization all dominate fitness fashion criteria now, as we focus attention toward technology-infused fitness wear to maximize results.

Stay centered following your yoga sessions with Ecco shoes, which support your foot’s natural position and stride, helping you maintain balance long after hanging up your yoga mat.

Running: Reflective and Brightly Colored Gear
Reflective and bright clothing for running is very popular right now, plus it’s a great safety measure! The key to wearing neon pants and shoes without it looking over the top is to balance out the bright pieces and patterns with solid colors.
