Sports Luxe really is a gift that keeps on
giving. The trend saturated the runways of Spring Summer 12 during the London
2012 Olympics and now, thanks to New York designers Alexander Wang, Phillip
Lim and Donna Karan, it’s back again with a vengeance for Spring Summer 13.
The Sports Luxe trend is more minimalist
and paired-back in its second coming. Think slouchy trousers, zips, mesh bodies and
sheer sweaters.
Top Tips:
For a bang-on-trend outfit perfect for a
night on the town, team a pair of slouchy track bottoms with killer heels and a
flattering lycra leotard for a feminine yet sporty silhouette.
For a dressed up daytime look, pair a
tailored pencil skirt with a boxy sweater, cut out heels and a leather cap.
If it’s a more casual approach to the trend you’re after, then work a pair of leather drawstring shorts with a smart blazer, a leather backpack and your favourite sneaks.
The trick is to style contrasting, sports-inspired separates and dressed up accessories into one game-changing outfit to ensure you’re more fash-pack than running track.
