About us

 Suitably Sporty is Lou & Les (this is us!)

 

We are two ladies in our middle youth. Over the years we've played lots of sport and are still doing so (although not quite as competitive these days).  We were both frustrated about having “nothing to wear”, sound familiar?  Sports clothes we found were boring and bland and we wanted stylish and comfortable, because we are worth it!

That was the birth of Suitably Sporty – enabling ladies like ourselves to find stylish, comfortable and high-quality sportswear that is equally suited on the fairways or courts or as an all-day wardrobe.  How many of you will play in the morning add a pair of leggings or warm layer and then pop to the shops?  We feel better when we have confidence in our bodies. When we lunge, serve, or drive the ball, we want to move with freedom, strength and style. Why not mould the elegance of the cocktail dress with the comfort of workout clothes? We did and it works. We promise.

But, this is not just a lifestyle business set up to satisfy our own wardrobes. Our love of sport and clothing is backed by over 50 years of commercial experience, so we have a bit of a clue!

As well as selling online, we are often invited along to tennis, badminton, pickleball or golf clubs for their open days, club championships and fashion show evenings.  We have a great time meeting other sports ladies and helping them find outfits that make them feel comfortable playing the sport they love.

What types of events do we attend?

There's no set rule for the type of event we'll attend. We're flexible and can help with ideas on what would work best. As long as there are plenty of people attending (generally 80+) we'd love to join you and show off our wares 🙂

Example of events that we attend:

  • Golf clubs for their women's opens and Invitation days
  • Pickleball festivals are popular and our pop-up works perfectly at these
  • Charity shopping evenings which are great fun and a good way to raise funds
  • Outside tournaments - tennis, padel
  • Sports fairs

What areas do we cover?

We're based in God's own country, Yorkshire and we happily travel 2/3 hours in any direction to pop-up at events.

This means we cover a big area but don't worry, if you're outside this distance but you still think it would be good for us to attend then get in touch. Depending on the event and our commitments we may come to visit - we love to spread our wings and visit new clubs.

How to book our pop-up shop

Please fill in the form below giving as much information as you're able. We'll then get in touch to discuss further. The key information is date, type of event, number of attendees and location.

Once agreed, we'll liaise with designated organiser to finalise arrangements for the day. The organisers/club will need decide who benefits from our commission eg charity, club, pro.

How does it work on the day?

We know that all clubs work differently so we can adapt to suit your situation.

Generally we:

  • Arrive early morning and set up our boutique (takes about an hour)
  • We'll set up approx 9/10 rails of clothing and accessories, shoes, equipment, sale boxes
  • Your members/guests can shop throughout the day
  • If we haven't got specific items with us, we'll post out to customers
  • Cash and cards accepted
  • We pack up at the end of the day
  • Over the next couple of days we work out the sales then contact you and pay your commission
