Now I finally know where all the Brazilian girls and women go to buy their bikinis and questionable training outfits. I followed today a recommendation and checked out Santa Clara 33 in Copacabana – it is a 12 story building with hundreds of tiny shops mainly selling bikinis, surfwear, underwear and sports clothes in all shapes and forms.
Sports fashion especially for women here definitely is something that needs getting used to. Whereas I’m used to the traditional large sports brands selling mostly unicolored often black trousers, tops and t-shirts, here in Brazil you get the wildest prints and cuts very much reminding of the 80s but mostly even topping the 80s look! I’m sure I would not be able to find any of those outfits anywhere in Germany but should any of you feel the need to own and dress something like that let me know! Sure that would leave some mouths open next time you hit the Gym!
Even though I do not have plans to fit into the tiniest bikinis nor hitting the Gym in the butterfly outfit today its time for a light dish!
