When it comes to selecting and customising the perfect sportswear, colour can be everything! When your outfit matches your personality and mindset, you feel you can conquer the world, but how do you know what colours suit you?
At AWDis, we’ve not only got the customisable sportswear you need, but also the best advice for selecting the right colours and styling your activewear.
Identifying Your Sportswear Style: What Colour Clothes Suit Me?
The first step to finding the right colour for your sporting outfit is to determine which colours suit you best. Of course this comes down to personal preference, but if you can’t decide what colours to select, here are some of the most popular shades and their associations for you to consider.
- Red: Commonly associated with love, red is the colour of passion and energy. It can be an excellent shade for empowering your workouts and keeping your energy levels high.
- Blue: Drawing upon images of the mighty ocean, blue is associated with both strength and calm. Whether you’re going for a new personal best in the gym or strengthening your core in yoga, blue can provide stability and power.
- Yellow: Optimism, joy, and happiness are all closely linked with the colour yellow. If you’re looking for a shade that’s overflowing with energy and light, yellow is the colour for you.
- Green: There’s no denying green’s strong association with nature. If you’re often running or cycling in the great outdoors, or you want to bring some of that wild energy to your gym sessions, you can’t go wrong with green.
- Black: Mystery and elegance emanate from the colour black, and this colour of gymwear is cool, sophisticated, and suitable for every occasion.
The Colour Wheel: Finding the Perfect Combination
Finding the right colours for your custom sporting outfit isn’t just about picking colours that you like. At AWDis, we know the power of combining colours, as finding the right formula can be the key to success. We suggest utilising our colour wheel to identify how best to mix and match the colours you love for your next personalised sporting outfit.
Complimentary Colours
Colours on opposite sides of the colour wheel go naturally together. Opposite the three primary colours, you can find complementary colours that pair nicely and offer seamless contrasts for your gymwear outfit. Opposite red, there’s green. Opposite blue, there’s orange. Pairing a yellow Just Cool t-shirt with purple shorts, for example, offers a very natural but striking contrast.
Analogous Colours
For those who prefer to keep their sporting outfits within the same shade range of the colour wheel, analogous colours offer subtle yet effective combinations. Let’s select red, for instance. You can easily pair a red zoodie with a hot pink AT or a blue zoodie with a purple t-shirt. These combinations are all about working with small colour variations to achieve incredible effects.
Triadic Colours
If you enjoy combining multiple colours in a single sporting outfit, utilising triadic colours could be the option for you. This involves viewing the colour wheel in terms of the triangles that exist within it, or in other words, selecting three colours that are equally spaced out from one another. Red, yellow, and blue; orange, green, and purple. These combinations provide flair, helping you to curate unique gym outfits.
Making It Your Own: How to Style Activewear
The best thing about customisable AWDis sportswear is its versatility. You can wear it to the gym or on a run, but it can also play a key role in your casual wardrobe. The key to transforming your gym outfits into those you can wear anywhere is styling, and here are our top tips for giving any piece of sports clothing a different kind of energy.
The Power of Layering
You’ve customised the perfect activewear outfit, selecting the colour and combinations that suit you perfectly. To style this carefully crafted ensemble, we suggest doing something really simple – add to it! By layering your sportswear with a So Denim jacket or oversized blazer, you can completely change the complexion of your look while retaining the fashionable flair you’ve curated.
Mixing It Up
Another technique for putting a stylistic twist on your activewear is to add something casual to your outfit. By pairing leggings with a casual t-shirt or a custom sweatshirt, you can quickly achieve a unique style that’s effortlessly cool and suitable for every occasion.
Make It Match
We’ve discussed the power of colour, but a single trick that works wonders when it comes to styling your activewear is going with a One Brand, One Solution matching set. From coordinated tops and plain joggers to full teamwear looks, keeping your outfit coordinated not only looks sophisticated, but it also emphasises your design, helping your logo or lettering pop.
