Running Skirts – Bringing Fashion to Fitness

Have you noticed them yet? I’m talking about girls in skirts – or should I say – running girls in running skirts and looking pretty darned cute as well. There’s no denying the fact that runners have great legs. They work hard at it. And if you’ve seen anyone wearing a running skirt, you’ve witnessed how flattering they look. Running skirts look nice AND feel nice over and above being stylish and complimentary.

When I first noticed joggers sporting running skirts, I thought they were wearing tennis skirts for their run. I had yet to realize that a fashion trend in running gear was taking shape. Running skirts looked so comfortable and flattering, I had to find out more. That was how I stumbled upon RunningSkirts.com.

It wasn’t only because the company was so appropriately named that I was drawn to this particular running skirt, but I was also caught up by how community oriented and charitable RunningSkirts.com is.  They sponsor frequent draws where runners can enter to win their own running skirts. Not to mention further running and fitness initiatives that RunningSkirts take on throughout global communities.

The founders of RunningSkirts, are two Canadian entrepreneurial twins, Cindy and Christie, who walk the talk. I should say run the talk. Not only do they run marathons, but, as busy moms, they keep up to a marathon Mom schedule every day. They truly enjoy running and fitness as a way of life and have a huge appreciation for athletic wear that is comfortable in the long run.

Their design looks fantastic and after running in one, I also know how good they feel. Running skirts are made with a lightweight, performance fabric that moves when you move and feel so nice against your skin. I own two styles, the first being the athletic skirt style which is constructed a bit roomier, it fits an inch higher on the waist and also an inch longer in the skirt. Underneath the athletic skirt, there are compression shorts with reversible seams which make them the perfect choice for all sports.  The only negative I had with the compression shorts is that they rode up my legs which gave way to chaffing.

My second skirt is termed the running skirt style, with the main difference being what’s underneath. Other than it fitting an inch lower on the waist and an inch shorter in the skirt, what comes underneath is a mesh brief with reverse seams. Both styles are made with two side pockets which are perfect for your gels, ipod, keys or any other small items that you like to carry on your run. Either style indisputably compliments the female physique.

Running skirts are not only for runners. No, running skirts are perfect for all fitness wear such as aerobic classes, golf, yoga with special styles for maternity wear and our younger girls as well. They come in a huge array of colors with brilliantly crafted logo. I love the logo. Its okay to look like a girl while you exercise and it’s even better to feel like one.
