The definition of activewear and sportswear
Activewear and sportswear are two different types of garments for people leading an dynamic lifestyle. In fact, Sportswear refers to garments designed specifically for sports purposes, while activewear refers to garments designed for transition from exercise wear to casual wear. So the sportswear would be more professional for sports activity, and activewear would focus on balance between sports and daily life.
The feature of activewear
Activewear refers to garments that provide style, comfort and function, which are made up of sustainable materials. Garments like jackets, hoodies, pants, and fleece sweaters serve the target of first exercising and then very comfortably and stylishly transitioning to casual garments where the styles, fabrics, and cut of the clothes gel with people mingling in an informal setting. People who love to spend a lot of time outdoors leading an active life prefer to be casually dressed in activewear, which keeps them comfortable and functional as well as stylish. Activewear also includes accessories and footwear of many varieties.
The feature of sportswear
Sportswear is garments, shoes, and accessories that are specifically designed for sports purposes. It needs to have specific functions, thermal properties, comfort, sustainability, specific fabric weight, and many other properties to suit different sports. For swimming, the garments may have different materials. Many garments have water-resistant function, some have lycra or spandex to make them stretch with the body, others have thermal function to keep the body of the athlete warm in cold situations and cool in warm conditions. Thus the flexibility, style, and material are not as varied as activewear garments.
Sports gear is also included in sportswear. For example, gym shoes, helmets, American football armor for the body are also a part of sportswear. Sportswear includes polo shirts, leotards, wet suits, sports bras, etc. The primary function of sportswear is to suit a particular sport along with its protective gear. Sometimes some sportswear serves as a uniform for specific sports. For example, sportswear for martial arts like karate is very different from any other clothes.
Summarization:
1. Activewear garments serve the purpose of an active life mixed with a casual social life; they can be used for exercising and then transitioning into everyday wear. Sportswear is sports specific. A particular sport demands a specific type of gear and clothes.
2. Activewear garments have more flexibility and style along with functionality and comfort. Sportswear garments are less flexible and are more focused on the comfort, functionality, and thermal functions of a fabric. They very sport specific; clothes for gymnastics or swimming, for example, are different from any other types of garment.
