SPORTS CHIC
Get in shape for this micro trend
ootball fever has been
spreading across the UK
and now sports fashion
F is big news too, with
designers plundering
the world of athletics for inspiration.
New York’s ho�est designer, Alexander
Wang, kicked things off with a collection
inspired by American football while
scuba style got chic at Emilio Pucci.
Even if the closest you’ve been to the
sports field is the summer picnic, this is
the season when you’ll want to work up
a sweat about chic sportswear.
Zips and drawstrings are this trend’s
signature details while jersey and
spray-on neoprene are the fabrics
du jour. Accessories? Adorned with
zips, the humble backpack and muchderided
bum bag have returned to
the top of the league this season.
But there’s a big difference between
the polished catwalk looks and your
everyday workout gear. While tracksuit
bo�oms have overtaken skinny jeans
as the fashion pack’s pant of choice,
they’ll need to be worn with sky-high
heels to ensure no one mistakes you
for a skiving spinning class student.
Mix in flashes of eye-popping brights
for extra energy and always keep your
outfit in proportion by wearing
a second-skin top with baggy bo�oms.
