Training Day ! Sporty luxe pieces you need now #luxetoless

The Olympic Games are just around the corner : Time to talk all things Sporty luxe.
Also known as utility dressing. Athleisure. Activewear. Souped up sportswear.
Call it what you like but these are simply comfortable clothes we love to wear.
In the morning, exercising, chillaxing or on the weekends.
I know I spend half my life in active wear (Lucky it’s mostly lululemon !)

This trend ? It’s a melange of street meets sport meets chic.
We’re talking bomber jackets, leggings, trackpants, hoodies, sneakers, utility pants, backpacks and anything with a drawstring.  Look for zips, racing stripes, hoodies, oversized pockets and slouchy sporty shapes.
Grab any of those pieces and you are on the right track !
The idea?
These clothes are not really for the gym. Mais non.
These are pieces for every day life.
Who said you can’t look chic when you’re being casual?
We have standards people !
Cool plus comfort = effortless chic.
We want to look fabulous whatever we are doing right?

Styling tricks:

• It’s not about doing a sporty luxe look head to toe, more about inserting sporty items into your usual outfits.
• Style is about contrasts and opposites attract: sporty with tailoring , soft with hard, casual with dressy, tough with pretty. And it’s all about how put things together. Unexpected pairings look cool.
• A hoodie under a coat ( make sure the hood is hanging out ), sneakers with chic tailored pants, a utility jacket with leather pants or try a bomber jacket with a midi pleat skirt. Try track pants with heels and a blazer with sporty flared leggings. Try a cool bucket hat and a bumbag with a sharp shoulder jacket and baggy pants.
• Accessories are the thing to change the look: Sneakers, caps, backpacks, cool sunglasses or a cool sporty watch.
• Comfort is key.  Go up a size for a slouchy look because it feels great, it’s comfortable and looks effortless.

Here’s the best sporty chic pieces you need now from luxe to less.
