Dynamic, colourful and glamorous. Sporty-chic is the trend inspired by sportswear that will mark spring-summer 2024.
Want a comfortable look that is still elegant, with refined details? Sporty-chic is the change you were waiting for. Colourful, glamorous and always dynamic, it joins classic elegance to pieces from the world of sport, and makes them the centre of a look that is unique without losing that extra touch of care.
What is it, exactly? Sporty-chic combines the comfort and practicality of sports clothes, such as sneakers and T-shirts, with more elegant pieces, such as blazers and flared trousers. It does not mean going out in a tracksuit with a nice necklace. It means pairing almost opposite clothes in an outfit that works for a casual occasion and for a smarter event. It is an eclectic style, easy to wear, easy to combine and very comfortable. The risk is letting it become a little too relaxed.
Which pieces do you need for a sporty-chic look that gets noticed and respects both sides of the style? A few ideas.
The essential piece is sneakers or running shoes, worn with a blazer, a long skirt or even a smart dress, for a lighter touch. The same is true of leggings and sports trousers, which move from the gym to something genuinely cool. Try leggings with an oversized blazer with three-quarter sleeves and a pair of courts or loafers. Or sports trousers with sandals and a crop top.
Sweatshirts are another essential, both oversized and cropped, worn with slim jeans or suit trousers, and with plain sneakers or heels, depending on the time of day and whether you want to be a little more sporty or a little more chic.
To finish the look, a bomber jacket and a wrap coat or an oversized coat add class. The bomber is versatile and easy to combine. The wrap coat adds refinement to a sporty outfit. Accessories matter: backpacks or large bags, caps, and bold jewellery.
Sporty-chic lets you show your personality, mixing styles into outfits that feel comfortable and still look right. The trick is to combine the pieces harmoniously, and to keep the chic side of a sporty look that is refined in the right measure. Ready to wear it?
