STYLE GURU STYLE: Le Sport Chic

I bet most of our New Yearโ€™s resolutions included going to the gym, eating healthier or losing 5 pounds, which at least for me has not been the case. However, athletic sporty gear is definitely on trend right now, and I will be the first to say: I will dress sporty chic over running a mile any day!

For this sport-themed post, it was only right to choose the Alexandre Vauthier spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection. This time, I wasnโ€™t inspired by one look but by the collection as a whole. The collection was shot with American footballers on a field outside of Paris, instead of a white wall backdrop or on a runway like collections uniformly do. This touch by Vauthier is very refreshing and unique. Vauthier also didnโ€™t let his previous designs and pieces succumb to the location or be limited to the theme; he went full out with gowns, blazers and even swimwear.

I, of course, wanted to be on Team Vauthier so I stepped up to the plate and tried to score a touchdown with this look. I had to for sure rock a varsity jacket for this look because 1. varsity jackets are super in right now and 2. they give off that athletic and sport team vibe that I was going for.

Underneath the jacket I wore a jersey inspired, mesh white T-shirt. Like many of my pieces, this shirt is from the menโ€™s section; however, I definitely do think it could be classified as unisex! We all know white and black are my favorite colors to wear (especially together) but I really chose this shirt because it is simple and because the subtle jersey/mesh detailing ties it together perfectly with todayโ€™s theme.

Moving down to the bottomsโ€”joggers=life. They are like wearing fashionable sweatpants, and Iโ€™m so glad they are trendy right now because they are extremely comfortable, casual and chic, especially with heels. So, I threw on my favorite chunky cheetah heels to add a feminine touch to a more masculine outfit. I love these heels because they have a furry texture and are super rich in color. They stand out just enough to complete the outfit but donโ€™t overpower the ensemble.

Get My Look: 1. Sheer organza varsity jacket. 2. White mesh T-shirt. 3. A similar pair of army green joggers.
