Show your sporty side while keeping it luxe this year by taking on this hot trend of SS14. Here are some tips nd inspirations.
Get inspired by models walking down the catwalks of Marni and Tom Ford, and don on your sporty threads this season for a rejuvenated aesthetic that is sure to inject some movement into your clothes. Synonymous for its laid back and relaxed appeal, this mainstay trend has been spotted on the models of fashion heavyweights like Gucci and Alexander Wang at their SS14 shows. Moving away from the elegant structured dresses, labels are now exploring how they can merge spunky sport fashion with high end methods of construction clothes.
Manipulating technical mesh and incorporating couture-worthy material like silk and finely grained leather, has given the sporty look a whole new lease of life, elevating it from street wear chic to red hot runway material. The quintessential key to mastering this look is to keep the theme of distressed and relaxed. Try slipping into a crystal embellished quilted varsity jackets for that added twist, or you could choose to keep it casual with a statement piece paired with sport shorts. Get this intricate balance right, and you’ll be wearing heels with this ensemble instead of sneakers!
