Why is women's sportswear so impractical and which brands are breaking the mould?*


Wimbledon, the world's most famous tennis tournament, has been and gone for another year. If you missed it, you missed a fortnight of top-class sport, a second title success for Great Britain's Andy Murray and a 22nd grand slam championship for the amazing Serena Williams. Those were the headlines from the two-week event, but there were also others - including criticism of a new dress from Nike.

The sportswear giants drew flak for its £75 Premier Slam dress, which was deemed impractical in this article by the Guardian. 'When I was serving, it was coming up and I felt like the dress was just everywhere,' commented Sweden's Rebecca Peterson in the New York Times. Some players liked the outfit, others opted to switch for an alternative.
