Sports Bras
Sports bras have their place – and we do not mean underneath your shirts to hold things in place. Set the sports bra free! Flaunt it instead of concealing it beneath layers of clothing. Let the world see how you transform from fat to fit.
The super-fit Malaika Arora Khan was recently spotted sweating it out at a session of Pilates in sassy sports bras.
Also, Victoria’s Secret just launched their range of trendy multi-printed sports bras – get ’em while they’re hot!
7/8 Tights
3/4ths are a thing of the past. These 7/8 tights make for a little extra coverage when you don’t want to show too much skin! Truly versatile, they come with the convenience of a rear pocket, a power mesh for a firm fit at the waist and sensor mesh panels for breathability and moisture management.
Some of them are also equipped with side ankle zips for extra ventilation. This is great multi-sport, training and jogging gear that’ll work all season long.
Bips just kills it with these! Motivation galore?
