STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Sporty-Chic

Recently, athletic wear sales have reached an ultimate high. It all started a few years ago when the tight black leggings worked their way into everyday wear, even worn with heels to go out at night. This has quickly transitioned into an everyday athletic wear phenomenon. From Free People to American Eagle Outfitters it seems like every store is trying to take part in the sporty chic trend because if they don’t, they will definitely miss out.

This Fashionista’s look was all over athletic. From Lucy leggings to a colorful Old Navy zip-up, her fitness look is having many fashion moments. An important thing to keep in mind is this look is not just for the gym anymore. The sporty trend has turned into an everyday casual look for Fashionistas and Fashionistos of any age. The great thing for Fashionistas is that wearing this to class is not only super trendy, but also super comfortable. Also, you can find it virtually anywhere and there is no certain way to wear the trend. Once you find your favorite pair of yoga leggings, it’s hard to take them off and actually wear something else. Don’t be afraid to break out of the black and find a funky pattern or color. The coolest leggings draw the most attention. Check out some options from Revolve Clothing.

If you want to dote the athletic trend but in a way that’s a more dressy, try a cool mesh tank or a tennis-inspired skirt. Even if you think the trend isn’t for you, you most likely have tried it and don’t even realize. Your look could be as simple as adding New Balance or Nike tennis shoes to your regular outfit. The possibilities are endless.
