Sporty Chic

With Rugby fever sweeping Hong Kong, the Olympics on its way in the UK, and catwalks dominated with a trend that screams athleticism, we thought we had better be good sports and embrace the hype.

This is a fresh and confident look that doesn’t have to have anything to do with lycra or breaking a sweat! Sporty chic casuals are all about colour, simple cuts and soft fabrics, so don’t go hunting down your gym kit...

To make easy additions to your casual wardrobe, just add one or more of these items to your spring collection: 

1.       ¾ length sleeve top
2.       Hooded parka
3.       Tunic
4.       Slouchy trousers (with a well-fitted waist)
5.       Mixed fabric outerwear
6.       Exposed zip tee
7.       Pumps or hightops
8.       Chunky bangles
9.       Colour block dress
10.   Satchel

Stand out from the crowd in different ways:

  •  When it comes to colour, don’t hold back. Go for colour blocks and neons to embrace the fun and youthful feel of this trend.

  • Really make the most of spring’s colour wheel with pastels and whites. Jazz them up by pairing with metallic details for high shine and even higher style. Bomber jackets, bowling bags and high-tops are the easiest way to accessorize the clean cut clothes you already own.

Reebok
  • Cut a sporty silhouette in slouch trousers that nip in at the ankle, add a thin metallic belt, bright tee and white blazer to bring the sporty into the luxury.
La Redoute
Now you can have comfort and style. So whatever way you choose to interpret this trend, be it loose fit tees, coloured pants, or sporty wedges - just make sure you have fun and feel good!

Stay Savvy!
