History of sports style

First half of the 19th century

Sport in the modern sense appeared in England in the first half of the 19th century. The mass passion for Sunday sports has generated an increase in demand for ready-made clothing. Polish costume historian Andrzej Banach believes that the main reason for the appearance of sportswear-like clothing was walking in the mountains. For them, men bought ready-made suits, since it was impractical to use expensive, custom-made clothes outdoors. Ready-made suits of that time rarely fit the figure - the jacket often hung loosely on the shoulders. This nuance marked the beginning of sports-style clothing. Men at that time selected original details for their suits: long scarves, sweaters, boots, etc.

Early 20th century – 1930s

The popularity of sports has greatly influenced the design of women's clothing, simplifying it. At the beginning of the twentieth century, ladies began to play golf, croquet and tennis, ride on skates, horses and in open cars. To ride bicycles, women began to wear knee-length skirts. Later, tennis dresses with pleated skirts and suits for playing croquet, golf and skittles appeared. Ladies also adopted leather jackets and blousons from men. Gymnasium students from progressively minded women's educational institutions began to play hockey in machine-knitted jumpers. With the development of motoring, special warm clothing for women began to appear: special hats and tightly fastened capes. The spread of the sports style among women was greatly facilitated by women who hunted, rode horses, and also fished with a spinning rod. From 1926 to 1931, she created outfits for an active lifestyle: jackets, sports raincoats, ladies' English suits, men's cut.

Simultaneously with the advent of the ski suit, “après-ski” clothing arose - things that were worn indoors after sports, while eating or relaxing near the fireplace. These included comfortable trousers and embroidered knitted sweaters, shawls and warm ones. By the 1930s, a direct prototype of the modern tracksuit had emerged.

In the USSR, due to the popularity of sports, a tracksuit was considered almost a cult, which only privileged members of the sports caste could afford. Tracksuits, sneakers and baseball caps were considered luxury. After perestroika, the sports style became generally available. Many began to wear counterfeit suits from well-known sports brands. Over time, trousers with stripes became a symbol of the “yard lads”. The Adidas brand is still most widespread in Russia. Presumably, this is due to the fact that the brand’s products were imported to the USSR since 1979 and were in short supply, as well as a large number of Chinese fakes of Adidas.

What's happened?

Sports style appeared when interest in an active lifestyle arose in society. At the beginning of the 19th century, English men chose loose-fitting suits for hiking in the mountains instead of expensive clothes.

With the development of sports activities such as horseback riding, tennis, golf and cycling, comfortable and functional clothing has gained popularity throughout Europe.

The beginning of the last century marked the introduction of elements of this style into the women's wardrobe. Ladies, along with men, were fond of various sports and adopted some items of clothing from men. Coco Chanel, being a lover of hunting and horse riding, contributed to the development of style and created several outfits for activists.

The emergence of the preppy style gave a new round of development with the introduction of T-shirts and T-shirts into the wardrobe of young people. The upper part now has hoods and stand-up collars. For the first time, sports style was presented in shows from Andre Courrèges and Pierre Cardin.

Since the end of the last century, a healthy lifestyle has become one of the fashion trends, so things of this style appear in the collections of various designers with enviable consistency.

Features and characteristics

Many people mistakenly believe that sportswear and sportswear are synonymous. Sportswear is purely functional and intended for sports activities. Sportswear development companies are constantly introducing new technologies into their production to make training as comfortable as possible. For example, in such clothes, athletes do not sweat, do not get cold and do not get wet in the rain.

Elements of a sports-style wardrobe are more suitable for everyday wear and are similar to sports ones only in the cut and external details. Every fashionista has such things and probably belongs to the category of her favorites.

Sports style clothing has a number of characteristic features that distinguish it from other style items:

Freedom of movement. Things of this style allow you to feel comfortable throughout the day, which helps you get less tired not only physically, but also mentally. This is achieved thanks to the straight and loose cut characteristic of the style.
Multifunctionality. Having such outfits in your wardrobe, you can go out into the countryside or take an evening walk, meet friends or go shopping. Some employers don't mind if their employees come to work like this.
Fabrics that are pleasant to the body. Natural cotton or linen are often used to sew sports style clothing. If synthetics are present, they are well ventilated and retain their shape.

Wide range of colors. The images assume the presence of basic colors - black, gray and white. In addition, bright and even acidic shades are often used. This variety allows you to create looks to suit your mood, harmoniously combining different colors. In addition, designers often use prints: abstraction and stripes, a combination of contrasting blocks and melange.
Big choice. Clothes in this style are presented in a wide range in stores with different price categories. So any fashionista will choose an outfit in accordance with her body shape and financial capabilities. Therefore, young people often adhere to this style.
Abundance of details. Sportswear is rich in stylish little details that are not always functional. You can often find things with logos, pockets and elasticated cuffs. Zippers, lacing, rivets and Velcro are popular fasteners. Often outerwear and sweatshirts are equipped with hoods.
Bright accessories. No look is complete without a stylish accessory. These can be sports watches or wristbands, various hats, bright leggings, as well as bags or backpacks.

What is the difference between classic style and sports style?

Most people intuitively understand well the differences between the two main style directions. Below are the points that confirm this:

Clothes in a classic style are elegant and restrained, while sports style items are sometimes even slightly sloppy.
Classic presupposes laconicism or no details at all, while sport style boasts of their diversity.
Classic looks are distinguished by close-fitting silhouettes, while sporty ones have a loose and straight cut.
For serious and formal events, classics are the best choice, while sports wardrobe elements set the mood for an informal setting.

Kinds

The sports style of clothing includes several varieties, among which any beauty can easily choose the clothing format for herself.

Sport chic

It is a successful combination of comfortable and practical items with wardrobe elements that have a certain amount of luxury and bohemianism. Choosing this outfit allows you to look chic even in the most informal setting. Sports glam, as it is also called, is characterized by a combination of three colors in one image. One of them should be achromatic, and the other two should be combined with each other and belong to a warm or cold range.

When creating a street look, it is acceptable to choose metallic fabrics, the presence of rhinestones and sequins. Shoes with heels for sporty chic are quite acceptable. Often girls take a simpler route, choosing a loose-fitting plush or velvet suit to create a sporty look with glamorous elements. And choosing the right and appropriate accessories will allow you to create a wonderful evening look in a sporty-chic style.

Sports casual

Casual sports style allows for a combination of sportswear and jeans, blouses and other casual style elements. In this youth style that originated in England, there is no place for bright colors and excessive shine, but there are always noble shades and materials of the best quality. Therefore, even leading politicians and rich people prefer this style at informal events.

Sporty-elegant

The style stands out among others with its clear lines and moderately strict silhouettes. Elegant looks are made by a consistent and monochromatic color palette, the absence of prints and many decorative details, such as shoulder straps or pockets with flaps, zippers and cuffs.

Romantic

Sports and romantic styles can be combined in one image if the girl has good taste. Soft lines, delicate textures and shades, skirts and dresses can be quite successfully combined with elements from the sports category. Airy skirts go well with sports jackets, and a delicate jersey dress can be worn with snow-white sneakers.

Sports military

It assumes a certain color scheme, which includes khaki, brown, beige and a dark shade of green. In the spirit of a military theme, the look can include shirts with collars and shoulder straps, tapered trousers and high lace-up boots. However, the cut of the clothing should remain loose, as befits a sporty style.

Sports-classic

It is a very extraordinary combination of classic clothing with sports wardrobe elements. The simplest and less extravagant way to dress in this style is to add a sports accessory to a classic look. So you can wear sneakers with a straight sheath dress, and you can add sneakers to a trouser suit. It’s more difficult to incorporate a classic element into a sports look, but a T-shirt dress harmonizes well with ballet flats.

Urban sports

Often chosen by young women living in big cities. Outfits of this style are characterized by the use of restrained colors and simplicity of styles. To create an image, it is better to choose shoes with flat soles, and an impressive size bag made of soft material will help complete the look. This direction is usually chosen by fashionistas who lead an active lifestyle and move around the city throughout the day.

By choosing clothes of any variety of this style, a girl can create bright and stylish looks for any time of year. The summer look will be perfectly complemented by shorts and skirts, tops and T-shirts, dresses and sporty trousers in a wide variety of colors. A winter or spring look in this style cannot be imagined without a short down jacket or parka, as well as insulated leggings and jeans or fleece pants.

Skirts in sports looks are much less common. They are usually represented by mini-tennis skirts or midi pencil skirts. Some models are equipped with style-specific patch pockets, decorative stitching or a yoke.
Accessories will help complete your stylish look. By choosing the right little things, a girl can advantageously emphasize her individuality and sense of style. At any time of the year, hats will help complement your look in a sporty style. These can be either thin knitted hats of various styles, baseball caps and caps with a wide visor, or a bandana or headband.
If you want to complement your look with jewelry, then you shouldn’t choose jewelry. The best option would be plastic jewelry in bright colors or small studs. You can also choose a watch with a silicone strap or wear a fitness bracelet.

Sports shoes

Many fashionistas most often prefer various models of sneakers, sneakers, sports boots or tennis shoes. The main criterion when choosing sports style shoes is convenience and comfort. After all, often adherents of this style of clothing have to spend the whole day in shoes. Therefore, sports style shoes usually have a comfortable and stable last, flat sole and are made using natural materials - leather, nubuck, suede and textiles.

For the cold season, boots with laces or boots of a rough style are suitable, which fit perfectly into the image with sports-style items. In addition, girls for long walks in the cold choose fashionable and stylish duvets and moon boots, which provide excellent warmth in winter.

Sports style bags

Bags and backpacks are an integral part of any woman's look, including sports looks. When choosing this accessory, you should not choose from classic leather models, but pay attention to modern artificial materials. Many manufacturers of sporting goods present in their collections roomy and comfortable models that are made of dust- and moisture-repellent fabrics.

Knitted bags will help complement the look with a hint of sport. Straight-shaped models knitted from thick yarn are best suited. Decoration in such accessories should be kept to a minimum. A real highlight will be an exclusive bag or backpack, knitted by yourself.

In addition to practicality and spaciousness, bags and backpacks in this style are distinguished by their versatility. A large number of pockets and compartments will allow you to organize all the necessary little things. Typically, caring for sports-style bags does not cause much trouble - textile and knitted items are easy to wash, and eco-leather items can be wiped with a cloth.

Makeup and hairstyle

An important factor when composing any look is how the girl puts on her makeup and collects her hair. After all, it’s no secret that for different occasions you need to choose different makeup and hairstyle.

For an active and dynamic sports style, simple hairstyles are suitable that will allow you to fix your hair for the whole day and will hold up perfectly. The most convenient option in this case is a short haircut, however, not every girl is ready to take such a step and part with a long braid.

Girls with medium-length hair, as well as long-haired beauties, often wear their hair in a ponytail. It can be located at the back, on the back of the head or on the side, and a high tail is also relevant. In this case, you need to carefully collect your hair and secure it with a hair elastic without unnecessary decoration.

No less relevant for sports style lovers is the bump hairstyle. This styling method allows you to collect your hair as much as possible, which is especially important during sports. No wonder this hairstyle is popular among professional gymnasts.

For those who are familiar with the art of braiding, simple hairstyles with their presence are suitable. You can diversify your everyday look with one or two French braids.

Choosing a sporty look involves a minimum of cosmetics. Makeup should look natural and not contain flashy shades. Typically, girls use foundation and concealer to even out their complexion and mascara. If you choose a bright summer look, you can use colored mascara. If desired, you can use pastel shadows or lightly line your eyes. You can apply colorless lip gloss to your lips, or choose a soft, close-to-natural shade.

How to create a wardrobe?

Sportswear is preferred by many women these days. Of course, such things look best on a slender, toned body or on thin girls. But this does not mean that others cannot use the sporty style.

Bright and stylish sports items make up the lion's share of the wardrobe for teenagers. It is at school age that girls most of all value not the beauty of things, but their convenience. And if you have to wear a uniform to school, then jeans or leggings combined with a branded sweatshirt or parka are perfect for meeting friends or going to the movies.

The ability to choose clothes well according to your figure is very important for overweight girls. In sports style, as in many others, ladies with curvy figures can find styles and models that can correct their figure. So, when choosing trousers, you should abandon tight-fitting styles and give preference to loose models or flared trousers.

Jeans will help give your figure a more toned look. For appetizing shapes, dark straight models with a high waistline are most acceptable. Complementing the look with low sneakers, the girl will visually lengthen her legs. In addition, loose tops and T-shirts can be worn with jeans, and models with elastic at the bottom are ideal for a fuller figure.

When creating a sporty look, overweight ladies should choose among dark and deep shades, which will make them appear slimmer. An excellent visual effect is created by a print in the form of a vertical stripe.

An active lifestyle is not just for young beauties. In this style direction, there are suitable images for women 40-50 years old who are not used to sitting still. Such clothes allow mature ladies to feel younger and more impressive. When choosing a sports-style wardrobe, women should avoid overly glamorous wardrobe elements with an abundance of rhinestones and embroidery.

Introduction

Popular wisdom says: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothes”! Indeed, it is clothes and shoes that allow us to feel comfortable in hot and cold, on a sunny and rainy day. Thanks to rational equipment that meets hygienic requirements, a person can live and work productively both in the tropical zone and in the harsh regions of the Arctic.

The history of clothing and footwear goes back to the era of ancient civilizations. Thus, during the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, for physical exercise, games and entertainment, preference was given to a comfortable dress without frills in decoration, which did not restrict movement. The shoes of men and women of that time are similar to today's sandals. Made from animal skin or tree bark, it was secured to the leg with cords and allowed one to walk freely, easily run and jump, and perform various exercises with objects.

The tracksuit, which appeared in the 19th century, experienced lightning development during the 20th century. For urban wear, it would take many centuries before men stopped wearing dresses and women adopted trousers, while in the sportswear sector, ingenuity and innovation in shapes and materials have grown steadily over the last 150 years. This type of clothing became the subject of in-depth research, a pillar of global marketing, a symbol of a new lifestyle and ultimately a driver for the renewal of urban fashion, which had become quite worn out by time.

Until this point, sportswear remained loosely defined; sport was considered as a form of entertainment, a game for which no special equipment was provided. No specific clothing was prescribed, everyone improvised according to their own taste, adapting everyday items. Proto-football and lawn tennis players took off their jackets and played in shirtsleeves rolled up.

The purpose of this work: to characterize the patterns of development of sports form.

History of the creation of sports uniforms

The history of the creation of sportswear goes throughout a person’s life. Since ancient times, man has fought for survival, and when participating in wars, gladiatorial competitions, and hunting, he was forced to be dexterous and strong. Since then, there has been a need for comfortable clothing to demonstrate strength and agility. Our ancestors knew very well which parts of the body needed to be protected from enemy attacks, so they made special belts and capes from animal skins. Primitive people created their own shoes, it is clear that this bears little resemblance to modern footwear in its perfection, and yet this was the beginning of the development of clothing.

Sportswear developed gradually but constantly, year after year it was improved, fabrics, technologies, and designs changed. Many creators of sportswear have registered their trademarks, thereby opening up a wide path for themselves into sports spaces - world-famous companies REEBOK ADIDAS PUMA NIKE. The universally recognized achievements of these and other companies satisfy the needs of both world sports stars and ordinary people all over the planet.

In Rus', when participating in fights, they also wore wide trousers and tightened them with belts. With the development of man and society, with the advent of new horizons of civilization, sport has also changed. At the end of the 19th century, the first types of special running shoes began to appear; these were the first shoes with spikes; the clothes they wore were panties - shorts, T-shirts and T-shirts.

In Russia, sports and physical education have developed widely after the events of 1917. At that difficult time for the country, sportswear was extremely simple. T-shirts, T-shirts, sneakers, and shorts were made from simple but durable fabrics. Physical education as a subject was introduced into the school curriculum. Everyone was involved in sports, sports sections were created, new sports were developed, and clothing for sports changed accordingly.

The UK is considered to be the birthplace of modern sportswear. The first attempts to create special equipment are associated with the most ancient entertainments, such as horse riding and hunting. The riding coat (from the English riding-coat) will be popular from the beginning of the 18th century as protection from bad weather during long horseback rides. This item will go through a path of development similar to the history of numerous sports items invented since the beginning of the 19th century: it will be “kidnapped” by townspeople, will enter the everyday wardrobe, becoming practically the uniform of the bourgeoisie of the 19th century.

In England, the tendency to unite in clubs based on interests, most often hunting or cricket, contributed to the emergence of sports uniforms - blazers, caps, shields, scarves or ties. In the 19th century, the growth of industrialization and the emergence of factories in urban suburbs attracted the rural population, former peasants became workers. Football, a form of entertainment for villagers, is becoming a city sport. In schools and universities, teachers strongly recommend sports activities for the harmonious development of youth. Each educational institution has its own uniform to distinguish itself from its opponents during sports matches.

If athletes unite in clubs, federations and associations, the first and foremost purpose of the costume is to emphasize social affiliation to maintain social decency. As for comfort and functionality, we still had to figure that out!

In select sports intended for members of the aristocracy, elegance is the main quality, to the detriment of convenience and practicality.

Women's costume remained the most powerful bastion of tradition. The first tangible attempts to capture this fortress were made by the American Amelia Bloomer in 1851. The famous fluffy short trousers that horsewomen wore at the beginning of the 19th century shocked gentlemen strolling in the Bois de Boulogne.

The new rise of the Olympic movement is inciting manufacturers to invent new equipment options that can increase the physical capabilities of champions. The transformation of sportswear is also generated by the development of individual sports: for example, a suit for playing hockey at the beginning of the century included tapered pants like those worn by speed skaters. At the beginning of the 20s, hockey became tougher, and shin guards were added to the clothing to protect the hands and shins, and in the 50s, armor and a helmet with bars were added.

Despite some progress (the appearance of short shorts in the wardrobe), sports equipment, which we can see in old photographs, required serious improvement, with the exception of certain sports - for example, the marathon, where, as in our days, shorts and sleeveless T-shirts were used.

For certain types intended for the elite (tennis, skiing), famous couturiers create exclusive items. In the 20s, numerous Parisian fashion houses opened sportswear departments - Jean Lanvin, Jean Patou, Elsa Schiaparelli and others. The famous champion Suzanne Lenglen shocked the audience at the Wimbledon tournament in 1919 with her little white dress with short sleeves from Jean Patou, but the fashion for this style would later be picked up by all tennis players.

Some sports disciplines practiced in special conditions, such as skiing, will contribute to the emergence of new, specialized things. In the 1930s, skiers replaced long skirts with sweatpants called Norwegian pants, with wide legs tied at the ankles with knitted ribbons.

The transition from casual bathing to serious swimming will be accompanied by the adaptation of the tight-fitting jersey swimsuit, formerly known as the circus suit (first worn by female swimmers at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics).

The history of American clothing will receive a new trend - mixing with sportswear, embodying the ideal of morality and democracy of American society. The first "College Shops" in the 1930s would dictate fashion for schoolchildren and inspire the development of sportswear towards a loose, "casual" style.

The name of Olympic champion Emile Allais is associated with two inventions at once: the new Rossignol skis with an anti-stick effect and tapered trousers, which he has been wearing since the 30s. This model will be made first from tricotine in 1935, later - from elastic in 1938, and from 1952 - from elastic wool fabric with the addition of nylon. In 1956, skier Toni Seiler improved the trousers by making them even narrower to reduce air resistance. A new type of sports ski trousers is worn with jackets - anoraks of northern origin.

At the end of the 60s, a new sport made a splash in America - jogging. Practiced in the city center, it helped the urban eye become accustomed to the sight of residents dressed in tracksuits and sneakers. Old-fashioned outerwear is no longer held in high esteem; it is now common to appear on the street in sweatshirts and sweaty sweatpants from American brands.

Nike, a fledgling Oregon sports firm founded by two former athletes, will quickly ride the running craze and dethrone former athletic shoe leader Adidas.

The second place in the global market of leaders in sports equipment is occupied by Reebok, a recognized champion in the production of models for new sports and outdoor activities, such as aerobics, dance sports and fitness; the famous women's “Freestyle” sneakers brought Reebok enormous fame and made them the main “shoemaker” of sports women’s feet.

At the end of the 80s, a new type of clothing came into fashion - “two in one” and “three in one”. Jackets can be divided into multiple elements, which gives more options for their use, eliminating the barriers between seasons, urban wear and sportswear. Another new trend is the desire for minimal weight. Some jacket models weigh only 500g! The new generation of sportswear has gone far ahead of its predecessors.

Improvised items for various sports are lost in the distant past. From now on, sports fashion has a permanent influence on everyday clothing and is an important source of inspiration for fashion designers.

Conclusion

Clothing should, first of all, protect against adverse climatic influences, mechanical damage and pollution, help create the necessary microclimate between clothing and skin, be light and comfortable, and not restrict movement. The heat-protective properties of clothing, its breathability, hygroscopicity, water capacity and other qualities are of great hygienic importance.

The creation of sportswear and footwear these days is put on a scientific basis. Comfortable equipment helps athletes improve their results and reliably protects them from injuries and the vagaries of the weather. It has been established that, for example, rational equipment for a runner reduces air resistance by 2-6%. Smooth, tight-fitting clothing provides an additional gain in speed of at least 4%, and in cycling and speed skating - up to 10%.

To soften the impact when placing the foot on the ground during running, sports games and other exercises, special “air” cushions, foam rubber thickenings or polyurethane foam pads are installed in the shoes. A wedge is placed in the heel part, which slightly raises the heel and thereby reduces the load on the Achilles tendon. The arch support, rigid heel counter and variable outsole stiffness all help limit excessive foot mobility when touching the ground. The inside of the running shoes is lined with soft material. The shape of the internal space is designed to provide the best support for the foot.

A special issue is the correct choice of clothing for physical exercise. This is a reliable means of preventing damage and injury, a sure attribute for achieving high sports results.

The 20-30s of the 20th century became a turning point in the history of sportswear. From now on, physical activity is seen as a developmental ideal for human beings. Women's beauty is no longer based on the tricks of the toilet - corsages, long voluminous dresses that hide the figure. A fashionable silhouette can now only be achieved through serious work on improving one’s own body, based on gymnastics and diet.

Nike, a fledgling Oregon sports firm founded by two former athletes, will quickly ride the running craze and dethrone former athletic shoe leader Adidas.
