Coolmax is also found in tennis dresses. The tennis dress has made a fashionable comeback recently, according to Angela McCloy, owner of the Racquet Shop on Thomasville Road. A lot of the local ladies' teams got dresses this year. One of the reasons McCloy thinks the dress has become popular again is its generous dimensions. Not all women look great wearing the cotton top and separate tennis skirt.
Cost is another factor in the renewed popularity of dresses.
It is more affordable to buy a dress than separates, said McCloy. Despite practical considerations such as the cut of the dress or its price, McCloy attributes its popularity to its glamour factor. Coolmax and aerobics shoes are fine, but for most people any old pair of shorts, sneakers without too many holes and relatively clean shirts suffice for a workout. I don't understand the point of wearing designer clothes while you are exercising. For those who are serious about getting in shape without spending a fortune on clothes, there is always Sporting Goods Inc. on Thomasville Road.
