Fashionable Sportswear is an oxymoron. At the very least fashion, track pants and sports bras have been friendly foes. But no longer the Berlin Wall of fashion has been torn down. Spearheaded by Stella McCartney and Addidas sportswear, sports inspired fashion, Jersey, Lycra and tracksuit material is a big hit this season.
Hoods are all the go for casual daywear and it’s a style that looks great in bright colours, matched with denim; an outfit that will benefit from the contrast of very un-sport like accessories in metallics and futuristic looking materials.
Jump the fashion hurdle, with jersey. Dresses, tops and blouses in this soft and supple material say comfortable chic. Support with bright coloured bangles and handbags. The great thing about this look is the materials that make up sportswear usually have a great fit and fall nicely on most body shapes meaning all the bonuses of sportswear fabrics can now be found in fashion forward looks.
And put the right fashion foot forward with canvas slip-on shoes and ballet flats, ideal for a casual daytime look or jazz it up with new look gladiators.
So keep fresh, funky and practical with this look and you’ll be winning gold in the fashion Olympics.
