How and with what to wear sportswear this spring: crop tops, socks, leggings and baseball caps

A few trendy looks for every day.

Although sportswear may seem like a fairly new trend, in fact this style has been thriving since the 80s of the last century, namely since the advent of aerobics. Over the years, sportswear has evolved from being a gym-only outfit to an urban uniform that can be worn not only to workout, but also to the office, to dinner or to meet friends.

Today, sportswear is more popular than ever before. But why?

Why is sportswear so popular

Firstly, the pandemic irrevocably changed our daily lifestyle on a global scale, many people switched to remote work and, spending more time at home, preferred sportswear as more convenient and comfortable.

There is another psychological aspect as well. In sportswear, even when not exercising, we feel more energized and fit. If such things take up a lot of space in your closet, the top trends of 2022 will surely appeal to you.

Things like leggings, sports tops and cycling shorts never get old, whether you work out seven days a week or just love the way tight-fitting clothes sit on you.

In general, socks are a hot trend for spring-2022. They can be worn with anything and especially with mini skirts, which are at their peak right now.

Another trend for the coming season is fleshiness. Oversize, which bored many people, was replaced by a narrow silhouette, showing a flexible and dry body (not for nothing the whole pandemic many spent on Zoom-training).

And where there’s tightness, there’s fabrics using elastane. Technological spandex and nylon were first of all invented for sportswear, and now we wear them in everyday life. These things look great in the form of crop tops, tight dresses or even catwoman style jumpsuits.

Want to implement athleisure style in your closet, but not ready for fashion experiments? Then complete your look with a baseball cap or this summer’s trendy nylon panama. The accessory is not only trendy, but also utilitarian if we’re in for a hot summer.
