Sport-chic

Origins of Sport Chic

Hints of the sport of chic appeared in 1920 and its main inspiration was Coco Chanel. Then she suggested that women wear trousers - these are the first steps to modern sports chic, because earlier girls could only wear dresses with a corset. And then, in the 80's, there was the aerobics boom.

To save time, women either did not change clothes at all - so they went home in sportswear, or combined training uniforms with ordinary clothes. Then it was easy to meet a girl in a dress and sneakers on the street. Although, of course, this style did not become familiar to fashionistas of that time. In the 2000's, there was a new surge - celebrities began to go out and red carpets in sweatpants with lamps and heels. It is noteworthy that most of the women then were not ready for such a combination - every now and then accusations of tastelessness were poured into the stars. So, in small steps through non-acceptance and condemnation, sport chic has become part of modern fashion and today does not surprise anyone. Among the stars, the adepts of sports chic are Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, Kendal Jenner and other celebrities.

Characteristic features of sporty chic

• Combination of textures. The boldness of the stylistic direction allows him to combine several different fabrics and textures in one image. So the outfit turns out to be more expressive and interesting than with homogeneous items of clothing. This is not to say that this is a rule, but it is definitely a frequently observed trend;
• Multi-layered. Layering clothes gives a feeling of serenity and carelessness - often sport chic looks like this. But do not confuse carelessness with untidiness - any style with the prefix "chic" is about grooming and neatness;

• Relaxed and relaxed. The main feature of sport chic is the absence of pronounced gloss. It doesn't feel like you've spent 3 hours looking for the right T-shirt or pair of shoes. Although in fact it may have been;
• Comfort. Sport chic is definitely about convenience and comfort. Even if you wear heeled shoes, relaxed pants or shorts, a sweatshirt or a hoodie will create a balance and comfort will remain in the image.

Sport-chic, casual, sport – what's the difference

Fashion has become so flexible that the boundary between similar styles has blurred and it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between them. Sport chic goes hand in hand with casual and with the main sporty style.

As for the main style - sports, then everything is simple. Chic is built on a combination of sporty things with luxurious, borrowed from the glamorous style.

A simple sports style is exclusively a sport in its various variations. But, again, the boundaries are blurred, styles overlap, and fashion is becoming more and more variable. When choosing outfits, you need to focus not on differences and similarities, but on the inner sense of taste and your own preferences in clothes.

What does the Sport Chic wardrobe consist of?

This is perhaps one of the most difficult questions, because there are many variations on how to assemble a sport chic wardrobe. You can build it on a combination of glamorous shoes with sports things, or, conversely, leave comfort on your feet and beat it with elegant outfits.

We will give examples - this will help to form an understanding of the stylistic direction. And then the matter will remain for a small thing - to apply the knowledge gained in practice and collect a unique set.

• Dress. An indispensable item of women's wardrobe when you need to walk around the city, go to a restaurant or work. Don't want to wear shoes? It does not matter - sport chic allows and even welcomes the combination of dresses with sneakers and sneakers;

Any dress is allowed - from light and flowing to more glamorous. The combination dress of maxi length in linen style or extreme mini will not hurt either. You can mix different styles into a chic sport, for example, a stylish avant-garde dress with asymmetry.

• Skirts. As in the case of dresses, skirts are combined with sneakers - this is almost a classic move of sporty chic.

However, it is possible to make an image with a skirt more complex and multi-layered. To do this, pick up a hoodie or sweatshirt to the skirt. Shoes are either heeled shoes or the already mentioned sneakers.

• Shorts. An option for a summer bow is sports shorts combined with heels. This is certainly a bold decision, but if you like to attract attention to yourself, no one will pass by;

• Tracksuit. Do you think it can only be worn with sneakers or boots? Sport chic is in a hurry to dissuade you. Wear a tracksuit with heeled boots. Onions can be monochrome, as in the photo, or brighter. Just do not forget about the accents - a bright bag or accessories.

• Trousers with lampas. Technically, such trousers are not sports - brands stylize them under the sports style, but in combination with such a piece of clothing there is every chance to create a fashionable image in the style of sports chic.

If the top is neutral, calm, then the whole outfit as a whole will turn out to be restrained. This is clear proof that even the original sport of chic can be sophisticated. Of course, you need to complement the trousers with heels, but not necessarily extreme height - any comfortable option will do.

• Other types of trousers. Joggers, trousers from a business suit, leather pants and jeans - all this has a place in the wardrobe of adepts of sport chic.

Shoes for the wardrobe need different - sneakers, boats, boots and boots for cool weather.

Special attention should be paid to accessories - they will emphasize the image of sport-chic. So, for example, a stylish bag will successfully complement a tracksuit. At the same time, clothes and shoes can be designed in sport style and just one correct bag will turn the image into chic.
