Fitness Style
Miami was the muse for Lyra Activewear, which uses the bright, bold colors and style of the city to create a fashionable and functional fitness line. Pants, capris, shorts, tanks and tees in Lycra and Supplex create chic outfits. The advanced fiber technology reduces color fade and ensures that each garment draws sweat to the surface. The blend of materials helps the clothing compress to the body, making running, cardio exercises and dance moves much easier; LyraActivewear.com.
