I live in a country that women exclusively wear spandex pants or capris and oversized t-shirts to workout...That is unless they want to show off, then they wear spandex with an entirely too tight and non-supportive sports bra. When I first moved here 6 years ago, people immediately new I was American (although I got Canadian often too) when I worked out because I wore baggy shorts and a t-shirt or tank top.
There have been moments in time where I have worn yoga pants (which are pretty much spandex) or occasionally the spandex shorts underneath normal shorts...but I would never say I was all for spandex use. I was never comfortable with my appearance in them.
Let me re-phrase that: I am not ever comfortable with my appearance when wearing spandex. However, their functionality has my 100% approval. They just secure everything a little better, and definitely deter any unwanted rashes or in-grown hairs (I know, TMI, but it is true!).
Why did I just come to this conclusion today? Well, I used a pair of Brazilian spandex that my mother-in-law, bless her heart, gave me recently for the first time. They are not better than American spandex, but they are not my yoga pants for sure.
So as long as they are not shiny or sporting a camel toe, you have my support to use spandex...to workout or to stay at home...on other occasions, not so much. Does this make me more Brazilian?
