Athleisure and sporty style have made an extreme comeback in the fashion world, but many Fashionistas are still a bit unsure if they can pull it off. From the classic Stan Smith adidas sneakers to bold, oversized Nike logo T-shirts as dresses, sometimes athleisure can seem like a style that can only be pulled off by certain people. Even if your usual style does not include any pieces of athletic wear, there is no need to worry.
The trick for anyone trying to pull off athleisure is a simple one: find pieces that work with your own style. Today’s Fashionista was able to work a sporty vibe into her personal style, staying true to herself. Describing her typical style as consisting of mainly black and dark colors and having a more dressed-up rather than dressed-down vibe, this Fashionista put her own twist on sporty-chic fashion—particularly with her bomber jacket. Utilizing her go-to solid black T-shirt dress as the base of her outfit, this Fashionista added a shiny black bomber jacket to add some unique texture to her monochromatic look. Bomber jackets are a unique way to make an outfit more athletic, whether it is a classy bomber jacket like the Fashionista’s or a more casual bomber jacket.
Of course, when talking about athletic-inspired style sneakers can never be forgotten. Unlike typical flat, solid-colored sneakers that are prominent in athleisure style, this Fashionista opted for black suede wedge sneakers with tons of metallic accents. These accents add not only color, but flare to complete her outfit and keep the combination of sporty and chic balanced, which is exactly what this Fashionista was going for.
What is so great about athleisure is that it can span dressed-up and dressed-down styles. With a few tweaks or additions, you can insert some sporty-chic inspiration into your look.
