You head to the gym in your new designer workout wear, looking good,
feeling great, confident in your fashion sense because you're wearing
the latest Stella McCartney-designed Adidas gear.
You breeze through the doors, and big muscle-heads drop their weights
to stare as you walk by, head up, confident, sassy. You step on the
elliptical trainer, cue up your iPod, and go to town. All of a sudden,
you lose your balance, jerk forward, arms flailing, headphones askew.
Everyone looks up. Your face is bright red as you try desperately to
untangle the long straps of your Stellawear from the elliptical gears
while trying not to cry. You step down, ashamed, defeated, and still
with 300 calories to burn. The muscleheads snicker and go back to
grunting over sets and reps. You leave, and head straight to Ben &
Jerry's for some caramel covered Chunky Monkey.
Moral of the story: Yes, you can look good in the gym, but wear
clothes designed for actual workouts. Sure, Stella McCartney's clothes
are cool, unique, fun, but with all the straps and bells and whistles
(okay maybe there are no whistles), you'll not only be potentially
unsafe, you'll look like a dork on top of it.
And I'm not knocking Stella...I should only be so lucky as to own her
non-gym duds. But dude, give us a collection we can actually sweat in.
