Sparkle Athletic strongly supports running in costume. It’s a great way to put a smile on your face and on the faces of those around you. Although, we highly suggest creating running costumes that are easy (& comfortable) to run in. & With a little planning, you don’t don’t necessarily have to sacrifice your favorite running gear. For example…
Our Sparkle Headsweats Visors are incredibly versatile – they are the perfect way to “top” off your running costume, AND the perfect way to sparkle every day. Not only to they look good, they perform well too (which is why WE wear them on a daily basis) – they are made from a quick drying fabric shell with our signature sparkle overlay, which means they also keep the blood, sweat and sparkle out of your eyes thanks to the terrycloth sweatband.
But we digressed… this post isn’t about telling you awesome our visors are (trust us they really are), it’s about how versatile they are, when it comes to running costumes, that is. So in case you are wondering what costume you can make with our Brown Sparkle Headsweats Visors, we thought we’d compile a plethora of ideas for costumes you can create. Obviously this list is not an end-all-be-all, but we hope it serves as a great jumping off point to get your creative wheels turning. If you have an idea that’s not on our list, leave it in the comments!
