sporty chic

As the fitness obsession continues to flood all means of social media, so too is the obsession with fitness clothes which are creeping their way into fashion scenes all over the world. The 'sporty chic' trend is becoming more of a lifestyle for many than just a fashion choice. It began (for me at least) with Nike's Free Run range whereby one can wear their sneakers in a social environment without looking ridiculous as the lightweight style of the free run combined with the classic appeal of the nike tick connects comfort and style in a relatively effortless way.

But sporty chic isn't limited purely to shoes, with t-shirts donning the oversized logos of Nike and Adidas becoming a must have item in the wardrobes of many and for me, wearing a netball skirt complete with bike shorts when not playing netball but actually going clubbing, no less. This trend of combining exercise clothes and fashion is one that is equally condoning, albeit unintentionally, sun safety as caps make a comeback in a really trendy way, leather caps are the ultimate, but American Apparel have some caps that are absolutely fabulous and not as domineering as their distant cousin, the snapback.

The best part about sporty chic is that I've been able to wear my New Balance sneakers with jeans and be so unbelievably comfortable yet still looking marginally 'fashun' or even with skirts which is one of my new favourites. But at the same time, a friend of mine wears her adidas shirt with her windsor smith junky sandals and looks the epitome of fashun. And I especially love how guys can also get into the sporty chic craze, the jeans and joggers look has really evolved and changed over time and I'm quite happy to see the end of wide legged jeans with old reebok sneakers be replaced with slim lined jeans and nike roches. The sporty chic craze is certainly taking off and I'm really excited for what'll come next.
