One of the best parts about the sporty chic trend is the comfort level. If you've read any of my articles before, you know that I am all about being comfortable in whatever you are wearing. No one wants to go to coffee with someone who sits like they have a pole in the back of their shirt.
The great thing about this look is that you don't have to be a pro tennis player to pull it off. If you're anything like me, you may not have hand-eye coordination at all, and that is quite all right.
Now I know you all are on the edge of your seats for this so without further ado, I will give you the secrets to perfecting sporty chic.
First, make sure your clothes are fitting in the right places. As with any outfit or item of clothing, you look much more put together when everything fits. You can wear a bigger t-shirt, but tie the bottom into a knot or cut it into a crop top so it doesn't look like you left the house in your pajamas. There is a big difference between effortlessly messy and just plain sloppy.
Graphic tees are a great way to rock the sporty look. Throw one on with a pair of skinny jeans and sneakers to get an easy look perfect for class. To dress it up at night, put on a blazer, swap the sneakers for a pair of wedges, and add a bright-colored bag to pull it all together.
My last piece of advice: fashion sneakers. This trend has evolved over the last few years from Converse high-tops to Keds to wedge sneakers, which were made famous by designer Isabel Marant this past year.
Compared to other spring trends that appeared on the runway this year, this trend is definitely one of the most ready and easy to wear. Use my tips to be the real star of sporty chic this season.
