WEARMYLEGGINGS

Hi! My name is Mirna Yatim and I’m the owner of Wear MY Leggings Fitness Apparell. I’m also a Personal Trainer, Boxing/Kickboxing and Muay Thai coach based in Bournemouth.

Where do I start! Well.. after being in the fitness industry for 9 years, competed in boxing/kickboxing and tried different types of training including Karate and Body building, it is safe to say that I have owned so many different brands of athletic wear, specifically leggings! But with every purchase, I would find something I would have different, or even alter it to fit me the way I feel it’s more flattering on my body, and most importantly more comfortable and supportive to wear!

That then gave me the idea of creating my own brand of leggings! But ofcourse it wasn’t that easy to source good manufacturers! Two years later and probably around 15 different samples in, I had one pair that was it! The material was just right! The fit was body sculpting after I had asked for specific alterations, the waist was high and supportive, very stretchy for comfort but yet they kept their elasticity! I was over the moon but had to compose myself until I had fully tested them! I wore them for weight lifting, boxing, running, HIIT, you name it! I was really happy!! All that was left was to have the designs manufactured and ready to be sold! So I came up with a design I had had in my head for a while! I wanted to create designs that are unique and make you stand out from the crowd. Designs for all shapes, curves and sizes that turn heads for all the right reasons! I believe if you walk into a room oozing with confidence and comfortable in what you are wearing, then that’s what everyone would see! I want women to be brave in wearing figure hugging clothes, bold in trying out new patterns and designs, and simply feeling beautiful in everything they wear!

TIANA is named after my 9 year old daughter who also does Kickboxing and has a fearless personality but yet very soft, hence the Leopard and the Zebra.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I placed my first order in December 2019. My stock arrived on the 20th of March 2020! I could not believe my luck! Was it a blessing or was it a curse that we went into the 1st lockdown just 3 days later!!! Well... I was sold out of both TIANA and LINDSEY) within just 3 weeks!! That was purely through advertising via Facebook as I did not have a website yet, and recommendations from friends and clients! Everyone was and still is loving them. So much so that they buy their favourite pair twice!

Fast forward to a year later and I now have more than 15 designs of leggings, 5 shorts, 6 hoodies, 6 cropped tops, vests, face masks, bags, running tops and more to add!

I simply could not have done it without the love, support and trust I have gained from our lovely incredible community! I call you all the “MY” family and I sincerely mean it! Many women tell me about the different encounters they have with others they see walking in the park in Wear MY Leggings, or along the beach, and how they look at each other and just smile even without having met before, mostly leading to a friendly chat! It’s almost like a “I know who you support” type of look! It just makes me so happy knowing that I’m creating a very big family as I go along!

There is of course as always, a lot more to do! I am still a new business climbing that ladder slowly and grafting! There is always something to improve on and so many new ideas that are just waiting to be revealed!

The idea of this article was to firstly introduce myself to you and give you a little background about the brand and how it started. It is also to help inspire someone to always work hard towards their Goals or plans!

No dream is ever too big to achieve. It won’t be easy but you have to believe in yourself! I know I have a long way to go yet, but I also know that I am still here as a brand, standing on my feet, thriving and grafting, hoping and knowing that one day I will be a brand that every household talks about, because I truly believe in what I have!

As always. I appreciate your support in every single way, whether it’s reading this article, or recommending my brand if you have tried it before. You can visit our website at www.wearmyleggings.co.uk to see our current full range.
