STYLE GURU STYLE: Sport-Chic Style

Paul McCartney is getting major buzz for his new collaboration with Rhianna and Kanye West, but his daughter is getting even more fashion attention for her newest collaboration with adidas. Stella McCartney has partnered with adidas for a decade in 2015, designing functional sportswear for women. Stella designs with a variety of activities in mind, including running, gym, yoga, winter sports, cycling, tennis, swim and even surf. To celebrate Stella’s 10th anniversary of her partnership with adidas, she was very forward-thinking in her designs. In the collection, she incorporates sport-chic with floral and lace prints, seamless fabrics, feminine silhouettes and utility in every piece. She keeps her color palette type A, with silver, gray, black and white, with pops of blue and red throughout. If Stella continues to design for utility, she will have the cutting edge in the sport-chic marketplace and continue her incredible partnership with adidas.

Stella McCartney’s adidas partnership has inspired me to become forward-thinking in my sportswear. As a Fashionista and a Fitshionista, I yearn for functional, fashionable sportswear. It is easy for a college-aged woman to throw on sweats and a worn out high school T-shirt, but I challenge that stereotype. My motto is if you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you will workout harder. Finding new fashionable sportswear is my motivation to get in the gym.

In one of my shopping excursions I found this gem, a reflective running jacket from Nike. It resembles the Stella McCartney collection’s silver anorak, so I had to have it. Another obsession I have is with basic black workout leggings. My excuse for acquiring so many pairs is that you can never have too many because they are basic and can be worn with anything. Just like black leggings, black Nike sneakers are an investment piece that can be worn with so much. They can be paired with a statement coat or gym attire. My personal style is based off of pieces like these, basic functional and stylish for casual everyday wear.
