Review: Andrew Christian Cross Mesh Tank

For all the Andrew Christian fans out there that appreciate the construction and quality materials in this designer’s clothing, you’re going to really appreciate this mesh tank top.  I think those of us who are diehard AC fans can agree that Andrew is very self-conscious and consistent in areas that permeate across his entire collection.

It’s amazing how a simple and classic fabric like 100% polyester mesh can become a classic material, standing the test of time from both a functionality and stylish perspective.  Perhaps this is what makes the AC 2010 collection so effective as you’ll see mesh used in various categories including tanks, v-neck shirts, shorts, and underwear.  This is clearly a testimate to Andrew’s ability to use simple but classic materials to deliver new concepts and original designs without compromising fashion.

There really isn’t much to say about this tank other than it performs as designed, which is to provide a moisture wicking tank that can handle any rigid and aggressive workout.  From a fashion perspective, this tank is the perfect example of the phrase, “Less is more.”  A simple tank with the signature AC cross and traditional trimming in contrasting fabric around the neck and arms is something we can all appreciate in its simplicity.

The cross mesh tank is also available in silver/black.

Review: Andrew Christian Streak Tank Top

With the summer upon us with hotter weather, I’m constantly revaluating my sports wardrobe.   The prerequisite is cool and comfort without sacrifice to style and functionality.  If you feel the same, then I’ve got the perfect tank top to share with you.  The 100% polyester Streak Tank Top introduced by Andrew Christian provides all of the above.

I took this tank out for a test drive at the gym and got immediate looks for starters before even hitting the floor.  This stylish tank is an awesome design consisting of multiple diagonal fabrics separated by silver piping and trim work around the collar and arm openings.   On the left side of the tank, AC has incorporated an inset of mesh material, providing extra dryness and ventilation.

Throughout the workout, this tank provided great freedom of moment and function that didn’t give way to a baggy or stretched-out look after my workout unlike most tanks.  One of the best features in AC designs includes a flattering cut that makes their sportswear stylish and esthetically appealing.  This is one tank top you wouldn’t feel self-conscious about wearing in a casual setting and not limited to the gym.

If you’re looking to invest in a well constructed, good looking tank to further complement your sportswear collection, you should seriously consider this tank top.  The AC Streak Tank Top is offered in a royal and dark blue complementary color combination.

aussieBum – RUGBY SHORTS

Review: Varsity Laurel Training Shorts

When I am in the gym, my workouts are serious, tough, and inventive.  I need active fitness wear that is comfortable, non-restrictive, and endurable.  I put Andrew Christians’ Varsity Laurel training shorts to the challenge.

As shown in the picture above, the fabric is sporty, classy, and the white outside trim is enhanced by creative black stitching.  The PHYS ED + 7 Varsity signature adds a unique style to the overall appearance of the training short.  The fit was loose and very comfortable.  I didn’t feel myself sliding when sitting on the exercise equipment.  The smooth jersey material, along with the cool feeling it creates, makes this training short a must for fitness enthusiasts.

Although I prefer an internal drawstring or none at all, the white external shoe lace look gives it an overall finished fitted appearance.  Likewise, the 2 ½ inch gathered waistband adds additional support around the hips. This particular style of Andrew Christian training short comes in white, silver, black, and navy.

Review: Andrew Christian Mesh Training Short

Whether wearing them around the house or working out at the gym, the mesh training shorts made by Andrew Christian are a great value.   Based on the quality of their construction, these shorts can be worn casually just about anywhere.   The added value of using mesh material ensures longer durability and a fade resistant look.

I wore the light blue/burgundy shorts and experienced free movement along with a smooth comfortable fit.  I prefer this style’s cut because it fits nicely around the legs and backside and doesn’t look baggy or sloppy.  This longer short is very attractive and masculine.  One specific feature I like about the shorts is the double stitched pockets on the front as opposed to the sides.  This pair will be a definite, regular addition to my workout wardrobe.

The contrast stitching and outlined pocket design adds a fashionable style to the overall appearance of the shorts.   As an additional touch, the Andrew Christian signature cross logo is placed on the lower front, right hand side of the shorts.  The burgundy drawstring waistband and stitching along the bottom compliments the overall color of the shorts.  In addition, a thin white stripe travels horizontally across the middle of the waistband adding symmetry and balance to the esthetic of the shorts.

This particular style of Andrew Christian mesh training short comes in gold/burgundy, light blue/burgundy, black/gold, and silver/black.
