Gen-Z is in-vested in this latest fashion trend (pun intended).
The easily influenced generation can be seen wearing running vests during workouts, channeling their “running girlie” era. Many fitness influencers have become infatuated with athletic accessories, claiming they make outfits super cute!
The black running vests with buckles and straps in the front are layered on their athletic wear. Most vests feature several pockets to hold things during their run session, which is what makes them so useful!
Although bulky, Gen-Zers are sporting the multifaceted gear because it has several compartments to hold personal items, such as cellphones, lip balms and snacks. One Tiktoker decided to do a what's in my vest haul and I was shocked to know she could store athletic sunglasses, protein gel sachets, her cell phone, an inhaler, snacks and lip gloss inside her gear.
The vests, which cost between $20 and $160, typically hold water, keys and cell phones during long runs. The increased interest in the sporty vest could come from singles joining running clubs to find their perfect match. Run clubs are a really great way to organically meet runners in your area
Stephanie, who runs frequently filmed herself unboxing and gearing up in her Salomon black running vest. In the clip, she claimed the vest is a better accessory for running compared to an athletic belt.
