The middle of the 19th century was a turning point in the formation of sports - communities and different directions appeared. Both men and women became interested in sports. And if the clothes of the former allowed them to move calmly around the stadium or field, then the girls had a hard time - lush dresses were not comfortable, constrained movements.
The first clothes that women adopted as sports was a beach ensemble of a short dress without a corset and loose trousers. A little later, a skirt-trousers appeared, created for cycling. Then there was a lull, and only by the 80s of the 20th century, the sports style began to develop and take on the already familiar outlines - the trend was launched by aerobics. Recordings of training with a fit and slim Cindy Crawford were watched by women around the world, so the fashion for bright prints, leggings, sneakers quickly spread out - in such an outfit was Cindy herself and her "support group" during aerobics.
Gradually, the girls began to wear training clothes in everyday life - leggings, voluminous T-shirts, headbands, baseball caps.
After 10 years, costumes came into vogue - it was almost a universal item of clothing, in which they went to work, and to friendly meetings, and to the store. Girls preferred leggings and colored tights, sweatshirts, bandanas. Men happily wore braids, T-shirts, jeans-dumplings, sneakers. Over the years, the direction has undergone many changes - modern models are far from boiled jeans, colored leggings and bandanas, but the basic principles of sport style have been preserved - comfort, freedom and a variety of colors in the image.

Sport-chic, sport-glam - these are outfits created on the basis of a glamorous wardrobe with a sports one. In this case, the glamorous part does not have to be extravagant with sequins and sequins. For sporty chic, hoodies and sweatshirts are ideal, which are combined with boats, as well as trousers with lamps. Such trousers, by the way, are not technically sporty, but it is with them that bright and exquisite bows in the style of spor-chic are obtained. The details can give out sport-chic. For example, you can complement a tracksuit and sneakers with a stylish Hermes or Fendi bag - it will turn out not so expressive, but still sport-chic.

As you can understand from the name - sport-casual, this is a mixture of two bold, comfortable styles in one image. This is a comfortable garment in which you can go for a walk or go with friends to nature. At the same time, the bow looks sophisticated and stylish.
Until recently, the sports and business style sounded like a contradiction, but now designers successfully bring elements of sports to business clothes. Business style implies a combination of strict clothes with looser ones. The classic shirt in the image is replaced by a sweatshirt, a turtleneck or a polo shirt, shoes - with sneakers.
Romanticism with its lightness and airiness in the images is reflected in the sporty style. The sports and romantic direction is characterized by pastel shades, which even sportswear give femininity and tenderness. One of the most popular and simple bows is a combination of sneakers, a polo shirt and a loose skirt. But this is not the only option - you can create harmonious outfits from oversize dresses, sneakers, a backpack.
If desired, you can add a jumpsuit with shorts or pants, tennis-style skirts, T-shirts to the wardrobe.
Shoes are, of course, sneakers, as the basic and most obvious element of sports style. Sneakers are also suitable, and for sports and business - boats. For winter and autumn, boots are suitable - both classic or casual style, and stylized as sports shoes.
The bag is often replaced with a backpack. If you do not want to wear a voluminous backpack, a banana bag over the shoulder or a belt bag will fit into the style. Small bags with a strap over the shoulder are appropriate in sports chic and sports and business underwear.
For men, the appearance of a sports style was not a surprise - they began to wear comfortable, practical things much earlier than women. For men, the wardrobe assumes the presence of:
