Working the Sportswear look
Relax and take it easy in this season’s stunning sports-inspired fashion. From soft jersey pants with subtle pleating for a flattering shape, to cool racer-back vests in the cutest colours, forget the sharp, angular lines of 80’s couture and take it down a notch with comfortable luxe fabrics and easy to wear pieces. Sportswear is no longer dominated by designer menswear but now is much more feminine.
Ideal for the jet-set, this look travels well. An oversized vest is perfect as a beach cover-up or teamed with cute white denim shorts and wedge trainers for a stylish evening look. Buy one in every colour for a versatile summer capsule wardrobe; they’re perfect for layering in cooler climes – go metallic for an instant injection of glamour that can take you straight from beach to bar – just throw on a stunning statement necklace.
The new sporty dresses are simply too gorgeous to leave behind! Look for drapes and halter necks in breathable cotton; choose styles with a twist – a sexy zip or an oversized pocket are subtle details that can make this look really work for you.
Keep it simple with plain white fitted t-shirts and basic shapes – easy pieces that are no effort to wear and take up little room in your wardrobe or suitcase.
Create your own athletic look with touchable grey marl, sweatshirt fabrics, slouchy harem pants and silky tactile parkas. Look for joggers with up-to-the-minute contrasting waistbands and show off your sporty bralet with a stretch cardigan; yes this look allows the wearing underwear as outwear – radical!
This look is easy and luxurious but a word of caution: don’t ruin the essence with worn-out old running shoes – go for soft leather gladiators or a strokable low-heeled suede mule. And don’t even THINK about working out…
