Sportswear has been quickly evolving in the fashion world for the past few years. As you may know, brands like Adidas and Champion are really making a comeback and creating clothing not just for real athletes but for real Fashionistas.
Adidas has especially shown a most impressive revival. The famous three stripes can be seen in streetwear from all over the country. A few years ago when Kanye West collaborated with Adidas and created the YEEZY project, the sportswear brand successfully reintegrated its original athletic style with hip-hop. This allowed their clothing to quickly become a staple in the closets of many.
Today, Adidas can be found in many stores I personally love to shop in, such as Urban Outfitters and Pac Sun. I will wear my Stan Smiths with EVERYTHING. They can easily be dressed up or dressed down.
I like to put a fun spin on this popular athleisure trend by dressing it up a bit and clashing the casual feel of athletic inspired clothing with fancier pieces.
If you want to take this trend in a bold direction, pair a graphic T-shirt with a skirt: Mini, midi, or maxi—whatever best fits your style! Add a piece of statement jewelry to create even more of a contrast.
In this look, I paired a few classic Adidas items with some unexpected pieces. I went with a layered, forest green midi skirt with net detailing to pair with a graphic T-shirt. I’ve been rose gold obsessed lately, and matched the metallic detail of the logo with my timepiece from The 5th watches.
I believe the athleisure trend is all about having fun and making it your own. So, whether you consider yourself to be athletic or completely the opposite, anyone can pull off the sportswear trend and easily incorporate it into his or her own wardrobe.
