Adding sporty accents to your outfit is on trend right now. Athleisure is full throttle casual and sporty, and one way to go. Sporty Luxe remixes sporty touches with dressier pieces, and is another way to go. Juxtaposition is key.
Athleisure looks are clearly defined and easy to pull together. For example, wear Athleta items from top to toe if you’re in the US, and Bob’s your uncle. You’re in Athleisure. Sporty Luxe looks are a little different, and that’s what these outfits illustrate.
1. Hoodie
A tonal outfit of greys and olive combines a pair of wide jeans with a sporty slouchy hoodie. A relaxed bomber tops the lot. The hood of the top is worn over the collar of the bomber to create a layered effect. Dressy pointy toe pumps in a putty grey with a bag to match provide a bit of luxe.
2. Track Pants and Sneakers
A pair of black sporty cropped track pants with grey tuxedo stripe is combined with a multi-coloured luxe argyle sweater. The grey and black in the sweater match the pants. The Adidas fashion sneakers provide another sporty component. I see a black or brown bag complete the look.
3. Sweatshirts and Rugby Shirts
Sporty items like sweatshirts and rugby tops can be worn with all sorts of dressier or luxe bottoms like faux leather pants and skirts, sequin shorts, white jeans, plaid pants and skirts, and satin skirts. Dressier shoes, bag, and refined jewellery adds the next luxe component to the look.
4. Leggings
Sporty black leggings are combined with a luxe white button down shirt and black sweater for an effective layered effect. A casual boxy denim jacket tops the lot. Dressy black ballet flats are another luxe touch. I see a luxe or sporty bag work equally well to compete the look.
5. Fleece Jacket
A pair of luxe and wide toffee trousers are combined with a sporty white tee. A luxe white button down shirt is layered over the tee. A colourful sporty fleece jacket tops the lot. Its toffee components match the toffee bottoms. Sporty white and bronze sneakers are the casual shoes of choice. No need to bare your midriff. Covering up with the same layers works well too. A sporty or luxe white or toffee bag can finish off the look. Add jewellery, eyewear, and watch as desired.
The collection below is a visual feast of fleece tops to top all sorts of outfits.
