Paige Spiranac on dressing 'sexy'
Spiranac said that she tries to 'embrace who I am when I talk about that.' She has suggested people do whatever they want to do and 'wear what you want to wear.' 'And for me, that's wearing things that are a little bit more sexy, more form-fitting, but also just finding your own individual style,' People quoted Spiranac as saying.
Earlier, Spiranac stated that she started her athletic career as a gymnast, and most of the outfits she wore were form-fitting. However, when she turned pro, Spiranac was 'always forced to wear something that didn't feel comfortable,' she told People. As a result, she started wearing tank tops and leggings, but that caused an uproar about 'just people upset about no collar, and what I was wearing, and disrespecting the game, and also just exposing my body.'
Spiranac does not want young girls to 'grow up feeling insecure about their body.' She added, 'They should be proud of their body, especially with how much hard work they put into it when they're eating right and working out.' Spiranac said being an athlete, she likes whatever she wears and feels 'very comfortable' with it.
