Get Sporty: Winter Trend
We saw many designers taking inspiration from the sports arena this season, giving sleek, modern updates to athletic faves with minimalist silhouettes, metallic fabrics, mesh detailing and neon accents. Even the infamous trackies got a figure flattering update!
Backstage at Alexander Wang
Alexander Wang was the clear pioneer of the trend, serving up miles of mesh, exposed zippers suits and just-finished-a-workout hair.
Rag and Bone also took quite a literal translation from the sports-field, teaming athletic inspired pieces with sneaker style shoes and neon accessories.
There was a track-star vibe at Isabel Marant, who paired her sporty separates with more luxurious fabrics like lace and silk.
A more subtle sports vibe prevailed at Proenza Schouler, who featured a series of mesh inspired prints and bold racing stripes.
Vanessa Bruno also signalled to the trend with pops of neon, flashes of metallic and a sneaker inspired ankle boot.
Victoria Beckham gave a modern update to the nylon bomber and tennis dress.
If you’re trying the sporty chic trend at home, make sure you offset all that athleticism with something feminine, glamorous or luxurious to achieve a balanced look.
