Although both men and women buy running suits, Walker said his male customers gravitate toward them more than the females, who have lots of other pieces to choose from. Dancers, however, might have the most stylish looks available to them. At Razzle Dazzle Discount Dance Wear, owner and dance instructor Brenda Brooks said animal prints, from snow leopard to alligator, are popular with her clientele, along with sheer fabrics, halter-style dance tops and more. Capris are real hot and basically any kind of leotard,'' Brooks said.
Wild prints are an especially hot pick among younger dancers.

Mitchell's outfit features Climashell, a fabric that helps keep out the brisk wind an hold in body heat. Layering a sleeve-less vest over a sports bra and stretch pants keeps Magee warm. As for fabric, look for Lycra or Spandex-type materials that will hold in the body's heat, especially in cold weather, she said. And let's not forget about footwear.
