Ok, looking through sports lenses, in what instances does it help movement? In my climbing shoes I cannot run very well, true, but I can climb better. Maybe certain traditional dances? But I remain very sceptical to stiff clothing that doesn't "impede movement". I mean, don't get me wrong. People are free by me to wear whatever they want, if it brings them pleasure - as long as they don't have to wear it, if they don't want to. And sure, not every clothing is made for sports and there are other activities.
