“What is sports chic? Many have heard this word, but do not fully understand what it is about. As it becomes clear from the name, this style gravitates to sports, but there is a nuance – it is designed not for the stadium, court and fitness club, but for life”.

Sport-chic became popular thanks to the trend for comfort. People realized that in everyday life it is quite possible to dress comfortably. The peculiarity of this style is that it allows you to let in a business image of sporty things. Of course, not every dress code will allow this… But in everyday life – for walks, going to the cinema, theater, etc… – this style is ideal. In it you will look “stylish, fashionable, youthful”.

This style is suitable for those who:

• lead an active lifestyle;
• wants to demonstrate dynamism;
• appreciates comfort.

What kind of things should we take?

Colors, prints and styles. What to pay attention to? Coloristics here is predominantly bright. Colors are saturated: red, green, blue. Perhaps even neon in combination with white, gray, black.

Prints are taken from sports style: wide or narrow stripes, brand logos, geometric shapes (circles, squares, as well as numbers and sports paraphernalia).

The styles used are comfortable, loose. Fabrics are both cotton and elastic jersey/synthetics. Most often there are combinations of different materials. For example, a hoodie can be combined with a jacket, etc.

A characteristic feature of sport-chic will be the use of such style tricks:

• throwing a sweater over your shoulders;
• tie a shirt or sweatshirt around your waist;
• wear a hoodie with a jacket
• pull a T-shirt over a longsleeve.

As accessories you can take caps, panamas, belt bags, backpacks. Shoes – sneakers, sneakers or even flip-flops.

Sport-chic capsule for summer

We’ll need:

• two bottoms: shorts and pants;
• five tops: two t-shirts (basic and brightly colored), a thin longsleeve, a sweatshirt/hoodie/olympic, and a denim shirt;
• two pairs of shoes: sneakers and sandals;
• belt bag;
• baseball cap.

From such a set we get these looks:

1. shorts, a basic t-shirt and an olympic (or throw an olympic over your shoulders over a t-shirt for cooler evenings);
2. shorts, brightly colored T-shirt, cap, sandals (over the shoulders – Olympics);
3. shorts, t-shirt, sneakers;
4. shorts, white T-shirt, denim shirt, sneakers/sandals;
5. pants, white t-shirt, denim shirt;
6. pants and olympic shirt;
7. pants and t-shirt;
8. pants, white t-shirt, olimpikka.

As you realize, the list of possible combinations can go on and on. There are a lot of them!

To add “chic”, you can take a jacket or vest. But while it’s hot outside, these options can be left aside. It will be enough that share of business elegance, which will create strict (slightly bohemian) pants.

As shoes it is better to consider laconic sandals and sneakers with print or colorblock style. Our accessories will be a belt bag and a baseball cap.
