Where to find sportswear?

If you are boycotting then it’s kinda hard to find something tbh, but if you just don’t want to be an advertisement for them walking around in logos, Alo Yoga, Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy all have pretty nice unbranded and minimally branded sportswear and sports bras. BR and Gap go on sale A LOT and they also have their factory versions which is way more affordable. I’ve also found SO many nice sports bras and workout leggings from small/unknown brands at outlet stores like Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Saks Off Fifth, etc!

I use search keywords like <item of clothing> and <local area> or <local city> or <local state> or <local country> and maybe <material> or <trend> or <niche> for stores/brands. You'll often find great local stores or brands that stock niche things this way, but you'll have to pay much more than at the bigger stores/brands (because of economies of scale). With small businesses, I'll give them a pass on politics if they're trying to be ethical in other ways or support my other beliefs. Oligopolies don't get a pass.

There's never going to be a business practice or product you 100% agree with unless you make it yourself from like, wool that you spun yourself from a sheep you raise and shear yourself with shears you built yourself from metal you mined yourself and feed with grass you grow yourself. In order, from best to least, you can find: something that almost-not-quite aligns with your beliefs, someone that keeps politics private, thrift stores, someone that lives in your local area and is at least impacted by the same problems as you, or, reducing those big brands' profits somehow (as in buying heavily marked down sale items). Those are your options. I end up some of all of the above sometimes, depends on my budget and needs and depends on how much I care about a particular issue.

For example when it comes to a big store like Target - if I can find a bra that fits there for $5 discounted, and I decide to boycott them, who am I really hurting? How much time will I spend looking for something else? Do you really think you not spending that $5 there is going to hurt them? Nope, it's not going to make or break their budget either way. And there is no way you can find a bra for $5 at any niche outlet or small brand.

When it comes to deciding what to purchase - it's never about just one specific political issue, there's a whole myriad of other factors to take into consideration. Even practical considerations like - does it even work/fit, can I try it on beforehand, can I see it in person to check the quality, can I return it, how quickly do I need it, and so on. When I purchased my organic cotton bralettes from a small niche brand - they got stuck in Pending because they ran out of stock, offered replacements, and their message went to my Spam/Junk folder. I got them after a month of chasing the Post Office only to realise they'd never been shipped because their email was in my Spam folder. And I ended up going to Target and getting the $5 bra on sale in the meanwhile lol. The best laid plans sigh...

Goodness. Yeah. It's such an issue. Honestly, I gave up on boycotting brands over their politics because EVERYONE seems to view leftwing virtue signaling as a marketing tactic. Can you thrift logo-free options, maybe?

I'd go the route of Amazon Basics. No matter how much virtue signaling they take on, the entire concept of Amazon is still intensely capitalist.

Full text: Hello:) this is my first time posting in here so sorry if this doesn’t fit on here. This is kind of specific, but I really am having a hard time finding sports bras from a brand that isn’t politically affiliated and things of that sort like Dicks, Target, Nike, Adidas, etc… you know what I mean?

If you like the style of an item sold by a gross business then buy 2nd hand so the business doesn't profit.
