Will need some more gym and fitness clothes, especially of the colourful variety. Any suggestions of brands and stores?

    Have you looked at Decathlon? They’re French.

      I’m curious, any reason why? I thought technical fabric was supposed to be better for sports

        Two reasons:

        • It is plastic. It will degrade into microplastics and will end up… in places where it shouldn’t. Water (from cleaning), inside of humans (and other animals) due to drinking water, breathing, etc.
        • They are much harder to clean and keep hygienic. They get smelly much faster. They smell worse within a workout and they are hard to clean between workouts.

    Erima is a German company (that’s been around for 115 years!!) They have affordable high quality workout clothes. In all kinds of colours, they are often used as kits for a specific team or club, but of course you can also just buy it for yourself.

    Decathlon is French, so that’s an option as well.
