Trend Focus: Sports Luxe
One of this season’s hottest trends is sports luxe. Think causal meets catwalk; bomber jackets, racer-front vests and hi-tops. The likes of Gucci and Marni really embraced the trend during London Fashion Week with stand-out slogans and 90s cropped tees. It’s sporty clothing that makes a statement, and we love it!
To celebrate the stylish side of sport, we’re taking a look at our sports luxe favourites for SS14. The laidback look is perfect for lazy summer days. Here’s how.
Bomber Beautiful
A must-have on everyone’s sports luxe wish list is the bomber jacket. It’s a chic alternative to the conventional parka or trench, and looks great season-to-season. Satin or plain, bombers offer style to suit all.
This Collarless Printed Bomber Jacket by Vila caught our eye. Unlike most bombers, this jacket is oh-so feminine with a cute mix of colours and contrasting hem. It rejects androgyny with its girly-girl fit; perfect for a spring/summer wardrobe.
Teamed with high-waisted trousers, a white blouse and ornate necklace, it can easily be dressed up for work or play. This bomber is ideal for first time sports luxe shoppers.
Step out in Tropical
Sports luxe is packed with punchy colours. And as predicted, expect to see lots of shorts in the run up to holiday season. Like these Floral Print Shorts by KangaROOS. The fun, sporty design captures sports luxe beautifully, offering effortless beach style without the fuss.
Step out in the sun with a cropped tee, flip flops and tropical shorts. Alternatively, couple with an oversized white top and embellished sandals for dress-down days in town. They’re a must-pack this season, combining essential trends and comfort in one.
Must-have hi-tops
Complete your sports luxe wardrobe with hi-tops. From basic pumps and quirky prints to timeless Chuck Taylor All Star Hi-Tops by Converse, they’re statement footwear you can rely on. Harking back to the days of dungarees and double denim, we love their cool 90s vibes. With skinny jeans and skater skirts alike, they look amazing.
Break the mould in these Black Wedge ’All Star Hi-Ness’ Leisure Boots by Converse. The wedge/ trainer combination is sports luxe at its finest – super-comfy catwalk fashion.
Whether you’re hitting the gym or not this summer, check out sports luxe. We’d love to hear your trend favourites!
