Yoga wear - loose fitting or tight fitting

May 19, 2017

Most people have heard of yoga's potential benefits. practicing yoga can improve your fitness, help manage chronic conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure and reduce your stress. But yoga newbies might find that preparing for class is a whole new source of stress. What to wear? Loose clothing or tight?

ray_killeen saysI like linen baggy shorts with a tie and a compression under liner in public and no liner at home.

yogadealer saysI also like to wear pants with material that is moisture-wicking (so crotch sweat doesn't show...sorry if TMI). Also just a personal preference, but I like form- fitting and stretchy rather than baggy.

Diann saysI completely agree with the moisture wicking/non-cotton pants! I wear tight like yoga pants with a flare leg so the thigh to the knee is form fitting and then it flares out at the ankle. Kind of a pain when you're on your back with your legs up or during inversions because they fall down exposing your lower leg but I like how the fit balances out my pear shaped body as I wear the same pants for running and walking the dogs.

Newpractice saysI wear compression pants, that help my body recover faster and hurts less after strenuous power yoga classes. Done at a gym, so they get washed as I shower. No smell, no infections, no pain.

Tight clothing, in particular, can be problematic to your health. Most modern exercise clothing is made with a variety of breathable and stretchable fabrics which are more comfortable and provide more ease of movement than non-exercise wear such as denim. Even with the added stretch, however, your running tights or yoga pants could cause you problems if they are tight in specific areas and if you have certain pre-existing conditions. For instance, exercise pants that are too tight over the hips can cause problems at the hip joints and negatively affect the spine. A condition called meralgia parenthetical exists, where the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh can be damaged by diabetic or other neuropathy such as from an injury. Therefore, tight clothing over the joint may cause pain and tingle similar to the sensation of bee stings. This can be exacerbated by pressure caused by long periods of standing, intensive leg exercises, and issues with the joint such as hip replacement. Low riding pants can also cause nerve compression in the back if they are too tight, thus causing numbness and tingling.

Clothing that is too loose, on the other hand, is more likely to cause physical harm from tripping or catching. Yoga pants that flare at the bottom can easily be caught under foot while exercising or stepped on by a passer-by. In addition to flared pants or sleeves, loose drawstrings, long jewelry, and ponytails can all catch on exercise equipment. This is especially dangerous when exercising on equipment with handles and pulleys, which have the potential to cause injury.

Not too tight, not too loose, is key in yoga wear. “I’ve seen people try to squeeze into a small when they’re large,” Rodgers says. She wishes people wouldn't get so caught up in the number or letter on the tag. “It’s very unflattering to be wearing a smaller size. Wear your true size.” Proper fit increases people’s confidence and helps them get the most out of yoga, she says.
Lisa Mae Osborn, an owner of the Bhaktishop Yoga Center in Portland, Ore., agrees. “Clothes that are clean, understated, in good condition and not too revealing are my general preference,” she said. “I like things that are comfortable but not tight, and I avoid baggy or loose-fitting items.” Too-loose shirts tend to separate from your skin during down dog and inversions.

Some Tips
MIND THE PANTS
Yoga pants require careful consideration. Lululemon saw its stock market value plummet after recalling thousands of pairs of too-sheer yoga pants. Your pants should be thick enough that when stretched to the max your classmates won’t see your underwear or skin shining through. To check sheerness, do a standing forward bend with your backside toward the mirror and peek around. This is especially important when you’ve been wearing the pants for a year or two. Sheerness increases over time.
Low-rise fashions are another way for your classmates to see more than you intend. Rodgers recommends going a little higher in the rise department. When your waistband moves downward in your dog, “It isn’t pretty,” she says. If you're a newbie, avoid these perils by wearing regular old sweatpants or gym shorts.

BE MINDFUL OF FABRIC
Yogis differ in their opinions about fabric. Some favor natural fibers, while others prefer the modern technology of moisture-wicking athletic wear. “I prefer cotton and fabrics that breathe,” says Osborn, who’s not a big fan of nylon weave fabrics. Rodgers likes a moisture wicking is nylon/lycra poly blend. “With cotton, you can get that peed-in pants look,” she says. She values materials which are durable, flexible and comfortable.
Fabric and odor are intimately related. While synthetics wick moisture and keep you dry, they also trap stinky bacteria. Sometimes these tenacious bacteria survive the washing machine. If you like synthetics, look for clothing lines that use odor- block technology.

How To Choose Maternity Clothes?

Blake Lively May 13, 2017

I always plan to write an article about mothers. As Mother's Day is coming, I would like to take this opportunity to say something about mother's theme: " what should they wear during pregnancy?” Our consensus is that expectant mother should wear loose dresses or plus size clothes. However, that's only one part of the matter. Actually, the selection of maternity clothes should base on the premise of not interfere with the growth and development of the baby, combing with your personal preference, choosing the loose, comfortable, breathable, strong sweat-absorbent, warm-keeping, and easy-to-wear clothes. My suggestions are as follows.

1. Wearing bright-colored clothes are helpful to lift our spirits, which is beneficial to the physical and psychological health of mothers and fetuses.

2. In the choice of styles and designs, it's better choose clothes that are shaped for breasts, but not showing the prominence of baby bulges. For example, "A-line dresses" or " X-line dresses". Besides, bottoms are better to choose baggy trousers, especially loose in the waist. In the late pregnancy, loose jumpsuits are more suitable.

3. Pure cotton or silk fabrics are good for pregnant women. Besides, lingerie must choose the cotton knitwear to prevent skin allergy or poor milk secretion. A study of Japan shows that over 80% nursing mothers who lack of milk have a few chemical fiber or wool in their breast milk. Therefore, it concludes that the chemical fiber lingerie is one of the reasons of poor milk secretion. Hence, women try not to wear chemical fibre garments, such as polyester, acrylic fiber, wool, etc.

4. Pregnant women avoid wearing the tight, thin or small clothes. On the contrary, they need to wear soft, light, loose, comfortable and breathable clothes, which are good for both mothers and fetuses.

Actually, there are many bump friendly dresses and maternity clothes for expectant mothers to choose, you can choose clothes according to the four tips above for reference.

Answer from Quora - Laraine Payson

Cotton your best friend. Cotton helps absorb sweat and keeps you feeling cool and loose. Cotton also is skin friendly, and so that works in your favor too.
Choose trousers or skirts which can be fastened with a drawstring, instead of those who have a horn or belt. In this manner, you can fix your own looseness or tightness as per your convenience. All these are easy in the skin also.
Wear clothes that provide ample support for the expanding belly. This leaves you more comfortable. Additionally, there are a lot of maternity tops and clothing that are available.
With maternity, your breasts and waist grow in size -- discard your old inners for fresh ones. You might want to put money into bras that can aid in breastfeeding as well, for after your pregnancy. Additionally, avoid wearing underwire or padded bras, as this can inhibit blood circulation, and in certain cases, cause bumps as a result of fluid retention.
Wraparounds aren't just stylish and stylish; they are extremely comfortable as well. Spend money on those, and set them up with tank tops or tunics.
You are able to wear clothes which have elastics as well, but ensure these aren't too tight.
Frequent visits to the loo to pee are common throughout pregnancy. Buy clothes keeping this component in mind, such as skirts and dresses.
Prevent unnatural fabrics like synthetics, elastin, chiffon, and georgette. Your hormones are in overdrive, thanks to that you'll sweat too. Wearing these substances will allow it to be more difficult.
Wear clean and simple clothing during pregnancy.
Maxi dresses, loose shirts, dresses, tunic dresses, and wrap-around are a few appropriate choices since they are easy to wears which can be all comfortable. Watch up for baggy dresses to wear when pregnant.

History of Linen

May 04, 2017

Linen is a type textile made from the fibers of the flax plant. Linen textiles are one of the oldest textiles in the world. They are cool to touch, smooth and get softer with repeated washing. The fibers do not stretch but because of this very low elasticity, the fabric will eventually break if it is folded and ironed at the same place constantly.

History of linen use goes back many thousands of years. Dyed flax fibers are found in a prehistoric cave in Georgia which is evidence that woven linen fabrics from wild flax were used some 36,000 years ago. Fragments of straw, seeds, fibers, yarns, and various types of fabrics have also been found in Swiss lake dwellings that date from 8000 BC. In ancient Egypt, linen was used for mummification and for burial shrouds because it symbolized light and purity as well as wealth. Linen was so valued in ancient Egypt that it was used as currency in some cases. Linen was also produced in ancient Mesopotamia and reserved for higher classes.

Why would the French throw the bread directly on the table? One theory is that they want to show how rich they are. In ancient times, those who can use the linen tablecloths are undoubtedly the wealthy. They wash the tablecloth thoroughly to make sure it is clean enough, then put the white, clean tablecloth on the table to entertain their distinguished guests. They don't really care their tablecloth is stained, therefore, they throw the bread on the table more to show their treasures and fortune.

In ancient Mesopotamia, the clergy would wear the linen clothing not only because they are rich, but because linen represents " purity ". Judaism had launched a law to forbid the blending between wool and linen to prevent the civilians from wearing the preacher's apparels.

In middle ages, dining tables are symbols of power. The tablecloth must be big enough, its fabric must be linen in order to show off wealth and authority of the nobles. The linen tablecloth is one of the traditional dowries, symbolizing the absolute luxury, extravagance, and preciousness.

As the extravagant king, Louis XIV held parties every night in his palace and all the dining tables were covered by all-white tablecloth whose lengths are so long that each edge can hand down to the floor. Besides, in order to show off their extravagances, Louis XIV and the nobles used their own hands when having meals instead of using cutlery and wiped their hands on the linen tablecloth. We can image how wasteful and luxurious they are!

What' s more, Louis XIV wore more than 10 sets of linen clothes everyday and he wiped off his body with a perfumed linen cloth, which also makes linen popular and becomes the luxury among the aristocracy.

However, many people will have a question: why some linen clothes are so cheap? I have to say:" because they are fake linen.” Fake linen is made of polyester or the low-quality products blended by oakum and cotton. Therefore, how to distinguish the high-quality linen products? You need to know these points as follows.

A. As everyone knows, the best linens are produced in Europe, including the top Belgian linen, the France linen and etc. However, those linens are not the authentic Belgian or France linens. That's because the fibrils are always exported to other countries for weaving, such as China or India, which causes a totally different production standard. Compared with the authentic European linen products, the qualities of those imported linens are likely to be lower.

B. When we choose textiles, we need to see the count of yarn. The higher of the counts yarn, the thinner of the gauze. However, linen is totally different because the classification and rank of linen are according to its weight. The unit is oz/yd², which means ounces per yard.

C. Unlike silk and cotton wear, the flax clothing can be rough or soft, applying for different environments and different aesthetic demands. The most important selection's criteria depend on your own. The high-quality linens are soft, smooth and no impurities.

D. Linen is expensive since it's hard to weave. Linen fiber is inelastic and easy to break in the production process, that's why its cost of production is higher than most of the fabrics. Remember! You get what you pay for! The pricing of the top linen brand is more than Euro200. For example, Libeco, Frette.

Linen is a good fabric since it's soft, breathable, eco-friendly and can keep us cool during hot summer. If you are afraid of the hot summer.

What's more, quality is very important in linen production. The longest possible fibers are got when the flax is either hand-harvested by pulling up the entire plant or when stalks are cut very close to the root. Seeds are then removed from the plant and fibers are loosened from the stalk. Woody portion of the stalks are removed by crushing between two metal rollers which separate fibers. They are then separated between themselves - longer from shorter. Longer, softer ones are then spun into yarns and then woven or knit into linen textiles.

Linen is used for the variety of uses: from bed and bath fabrics, home and commercial furnishing items, apparel items to industrial products. It was iven used for books and for a type of body armor. Use for linen has changed in time and especially in the last 30 years. While in the 1970s only about 5% of world linen production was used for fashion fabrics, 70% of linen production in the 1990s was used for apparel textiles.
