In 1982 Olivia Newton John told us, “let’s get physical”. And although the 1980s fashion stimulation has been and gone, Olivia’s words will still ring true among 2010’s fashion trends. No, we’re not chitchat vigour induced sweat stains, neon lycras, or hideous headbands. In its place sportswear becomes streetwear in Spring 2010 – in all its sexy, svelte, and easy splendour.
Alexander Wang’s matchless cool factor puts him at the fore of this trend. The young, fresh construal he sent down the runway for Spring 2010 means we’ll all be looking to American football for an booster of youthful tomboy cool into our wardrobes come Spring. But while football is key, it’s not the only sportswear stimulation: we’ll also be looking to sports like baseball & hockey, tennis, scuba-diving, and dance.
Suggestion on how to make the Sporty look yours!
For any sporty style, the significant thing is not to look too shoddy like you’ve just spent an hour at the gym, or too “glamorous” either – no Juicy Couture velour tracksuits please. Here are a few things more commonly that you can try to work the look:
Messy long hair, the side braid
Sexed up with super high yet sport motivated heels
Integrate some knee-high socks – look to Alexander Wang’s cut-out back socks, or sports socks with stripes – but in luxe fabrics. The right kind of leg-warmers can also work
Cross-lacing – particularly in leather – reminiscent of baseball gloves and boot laces
Shoulder pads, football player style
Work in the hot pants trend for a sporty take on hot pants or bodysuits
Cut off tees
Jersey fabrics; mesh
Pleated tunics (elegant ones – no super-short cheerleader skirts)
Efficacy elements like plastic buckles, snap closures, and rope tie
