How to assemble a wardrobe in a sports business style
There is probably no need to fully assemble a wardrobe of a sports business direction, because the images are specific, strict and mostly suitable only for work. Nevertheless, you can purchase a basic minimum of things in order to combine them later and get fresh stylish images for going to the office.
- Pantsuit. Trousers with arrows and a jacket of a loose or semi-fitted cut are the basis of the sports and business direction. You can buy 2 costumes - one classic, calm color, and the other pastel or even bright;
- White turtleneck. You can take a different color, but the contrasting combination of a white turtleneck with a black, gray or bright - red, blue, yellow suit looks especially stylish;
- Polo shirts. They sometimes replace the turtleneck, replacing the shirt under the jacket. Basic colors - white, black, gray, or colored, but calm - dark green, mustard, pastel;
- Basic T-shirts of semi-fitting cut. They look great with a skirt and trousers, as well as with any shoes;
- Pencil skirt. To diversify the trouser sets, purchase a pencil skirt. It can also be combined with any sports top - turtleneck, polo;
- Straight cut midi or maxi dress;
- Sneakers. White sneakers and sneakers with thick soles look best, but some girls manage to integrate even Convers into a business image.
- Boat shoes. Sneakers are not the only shoes that are suitable for a sports and business image. In order for the wardrobe to be complete, and there are more outfits, be sure to pick up comfortable boats with heels. The height of the heel is at your discretion, but usually choose a high one and combine it with a sports "top" - a turtleneck, a polo, a sweatshirt.
Looks in sporty business style
The most common and almost win-win option for combining sports and business wardrobe is the combination of a classic suit with sports shoes - sneakers or gumshoes. 
The outfit is usually complemented by a small handbag of a classic style. Accessories at a minimum and in a simple, concise design - unobtrusive suspension, calm earrings. Another laconic image is obtained from a pantsuit and a turtleneck. Turtleneck of calm color - not necessarily white or black, muted and pastel shades are allowed. 
Sneakers and pumps are confidently combined with such clothes. The final choice depends on the style of the trousers. The turtleneck can be replaced with a simple T-shirt, longsleeve, polo. The skirt can be combined with a polo shirt. From shoes in this case, it is better to choose boats, since one sports element is enough - if you wear sneakers, you will get too relaxed outfit. 
And do not forget about the dress - if it has a simple cut and is not overloaded with additional elements, then sneakers or sneakers will help to make it a little freer. 
Sporty business style for men
Men should adhere to the same recommendations when making a wardrobe style as women. Basic things that are worth buying for a men's wardrobe in a business sports style:
- Classic trouser suit;
- A few basic T-shirts – they will replace the shirts. Both classic models with a rounded neckline and more informal ones with a V-shaped one will do;
- A pair of turtlenecks. They will help to complement the image in cool weather. Choose several options of different densities.
- Sneakers or sneakers are white or black.
- Shoes.
You can complement the wardrobe with classic shirts of blue or white color - they can be diluted with sneakers and get a simple, but comfortable and attractive image in a sports and business style. When making bows, it is recommended to replace only one element of clothing with a sports one. For example, if you choose sneakers, then all other clothes remain within the business style - a suit, a shirt. If you wear a T-shirt under the blazer, then on the contrary, it is better to choose shoes on your feet.
