One of the most essential considerations when playing badminton is to stay comfortable while engaging in rigorous activity. You want to avoid wearing clothes that will restrict your range of motion, keep you hot and bothered, or weigh you down. An unspoken rule of thumb is to keep your apparel light and fitting, but not overly tight.
