Whether you’ve recently renewed your gym membership or simply can’t get enough of the comfort offered by yoga pants, sportswear is once again trending in fashion. And we’re starting to think it always will be. Athleisure rates high on our fashion metre, primarily because of its versatility. You can wear it to the workout, in the office, at home, on a coffee date with friends–no wonder we’re obsessed!
In 2023, the standard sporty look now comes with a sprinkle of chicness. Started off thanks to Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid, the athlete-approved aesthetic merges elements of sport with cool streetwear. Although an unusual combination, all results point to comfortable looks that are contemporary, cool, and effortlessly chic.
To ensure you remain on-trend, we’ve listed down a few fun ways you too can add a little chicness to your sporty look. Make notes.
Adopt The Crop
If you’ve been working for those aspirational abs for hours on end, then it’s time to show them off. To nail the sporty chic look, you need to become best friends with the midriff baring crop top. Layer it with stylish joggers or tight-fitting yoga pants and throw on a varsity jacket to up the cool factor.
Make Friends With The Midi
Don’t believe a dress can qualify as sporty chic? Think again. Skirt or dress, make the midi a part of your wardrobe essentials in 2023. Pick a casual form fitting dress or a simple A-line number to build your look. Pair it with your favourite sneakers, a waist bag, and baseball cap to finish off the look.
Toss On A T-Shirt
Those oversized T-shirts you’ve been hoarding since your college days? Bring them back up in your closet! Wear an oversized tee with your skin-tight leggings or comfy sweats. Knot the shirt at the waist for uber-cool style and pair with sneakers and oversized sunglasses. PS. Don’t be afraid to borrow from the men’s section for the perfect T-shirt.
Play With Pleated Skirts
Inspired by the tennis uniform, pleated skirts are trending on and off the court–but this time they are a lot longer. Balance with this feminine silhouette by pairing it with an oversized sweatshirt or jumper to give it a sporty spin. Add a sling bag, comfy Birkenstocks, and a visor for an outfit that screams sports-luxe.
