Mint-infused clothing could help you stay cool even on the hottest of days




I think we’re beyond the point of debate when it comes to climate change. Whether you believe the earth is warming or not, summers are just unbearably hot, and that’s something I think we can collectively agree on. After all, even climate-change deniers feel the heat, right? Well, whether the climate is changing or not, fashion certainly is. Companies are focusing their efforts on developing sustainable and breathable fabrics, and heck, Sony even designed a portable AC that you can wear on the back of your neck to cool you down. Designer Alexandre Cailleaux believes it doesn’t have to be this complicated, though.

Having devised a way to infuse peppermint into fabrics, Alexandre’s company A.Brolly’s unveiled Mintie, a pair of yoga pants for women that rely on peppermint’s cooling/soothing qualities to keep you feeling cool and breezy. Just as how eating a mint makes your mouth feel cool, the peppermint-infused fabric keeps your body cool as you perspire. The patented fabric’s called FrostTech, and it uses food-grade Xylitol to keep you up to 7°C (or 12.6°F) cooler than a regular fabric would. Mintie’s fabric even goes so far as to block UV, protecting you against skin damage.

Along with keeping you cool, the high-waisted yoga pants also help shape and tone your body during workout (or through the day, if wearing yoga pants outdoors is your jam). The fabric is breathable, has a 4-way stretch because of Spandex, and helps shape/sculpt your body by flattening the abs, lifting your rear, and slimming your legs.

Oh, and aside from the fact that the pants literally cool you down, here’s yet another impressive feature… the Mintie pants come with pockets too! They’re made from the same Spandex-based material, which means your pants can store everything from cards, to keys, to even your smartphone. You don’t need to worry about small, practically non-existent pockets anymore!

Star Trek Yoga Pants Boldly Hug Your Booty

Captain’s log, Stardate 92776.95, Starship Enterprise. We have happened upon a planet filled with women of great uhm… assets. They all wear tight pants and stand in strange poses all day. I am gathering an away team to explore the planet and for the first time in the history of the Enterprise, every red shirt onboard has volunteered to come along.

At least I think this is how it would go down if Captain Kirk happened upon a planet entirely composed of female yoga instructors. I might like to visit that planet. You may not ever get to see a planet full of sexy yoga instructors, but you can see your favorite gal in these Star Trek yoga pants.

Star Wars Empire Leggings: Even Vader Likes Yoga Pants

We can sit here and debate what qualifies as yoga pants and what are leggings all day. My opinion is that they are basically the same thing, and I think Darth Vader would agree. If you are a woman with a geeky side, you need these Star Wars Empire leggings.

These leggings have Vader, a Stormtrooper, and the Imperial crest wrapping all around them. This will be perfect for the official geek outfit of fall. Guys, we have all seen that official fall outfit before, it’s leggings or yoga pants, a long shirt, and boots with fur on top. I believe that to be the most common outfit for cold weather on practically any college campus in the U.S.

R2-D2 Yoga Pants Are Something Jedi and Sith Can Both Appreciate

I’d like to think if Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were in the midst of a massive Lightsaber duel and Princess Leia walked by wearing R2-D2 yoga pants, they would do the right thing and stop to admire her booty. Darth would be all like “The booty is strong with that one.” I think most women know the appreciation the men in their lives have for yoga pants, which are in all honesty perhaps the greatest invention in the history of clothing.

The only way you can drive your guy more crazy than wearing yoga pants is to wear yoga pants that look like R2-D2. These yoga pants are blue, black, and grey with R2-D2′s done on the front and the back on each hip. Down the right leg is the design that adorns the droid’s body.
