STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Apt For Athletic

For a while now, we have seen athletic wear showing up on both the runway and in street fashion. These sporty pieces are a chance for the wearer to be both comfortable and on trend at the same time. They’re also versatile for many different occasions. However, there is a fine line that any Fashionista/o must walk when incorporating this trend into their wardrobe in order to avoid looking lazy. This Fashionista, however, seems to have mastered the casual look while taking the athletic wear trend to next level.

This look is a more refined interpretation of the athletic wear trend. Rather than just rolling out of bed, throwing on a pair of leggings and a top and calling it a day, this Fashionista is more intentional with her wardrobe decisions. She has chosen to wear a quirky screen-printed shirt with a bold graphic that is equal parts funky and fun. She paired this shirt with gray skinny jeans that have an active fit. The top is very unique in the fact that the Fashionista designed and crafted it herself, right down to the pattern which was created with a screen printer. The top is a three-quarter sleeve silhouette with an open back which makes it a little more interesting than your average graphic print T-shirt. This Fashionista isn’t afraid of mixing patterns either. She adds a pair of black and white snake print sneaker wedges, which integrates the athletic wear trend even further into her look. Can’t find a sneaker wedge that is right for you? Try customizing one with Nike. This way you can create a style with as little or as much pattern as you want in an array of colors. She finishes off the look with a few accessories, including her bold frames.
