A Sports Luxe Outfit Idea

It is difficult to imagine that sports and luxury can fit seamlessly. The impact that the style has had on the fashion industry is nothing short of revolutionary, as major fashion brands have taken on and adopted it. In recent years, sports luxe, or sports luxury, has seen a meteoric rise, with celebrities showcasing the new look on social channels everywhere. It is a difficult style or trend to grasp, but once you have the fundamentals, you can experiment and cater to you. We’ve come up with a sports luxe outfit for you.

Sweatpants or Joggers

No matter what you call them, they are one of the foundations of a sports luxe outfit. It can be entirely casual, or it can be a pair of joggers that have been modified to have a huge resemblance to trousers. Designers have now begun using lightweight and fitted materials to mirror trouser images in order to take them away from traditional cuffed designs. If joggers or sweatpants aren’t your cup of tea, you can use casual pairs of slim jeans, as the sports luxe trend is based on comfort and luxury. There are a host of different styles you could use for joggers, as high-street brands such as Topman and River Island have created various fitted sweatpants styles. Experiment with them, as you will not be entirely comfortable unless you find something that truly suits you.

Footwear

Your footwear, with your choice of outfit, is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when it comes to this trend. Major labels have begun incorporating formal shoes in order to push the style more towards luxury, whereas others have used canvas or sports styles to provide the ultimate comfort. No matter what style you choose, your shoes have to have a balance of both. Shoes can often dictate the direction your sports luxe outfit takes. Deciding whether you want to look at a more casual or luxury style is entirely down to you, you’re your footwear is important. Think of brands, such as Timberland, All Saints are a perfect example of mens boots. Think Nike, Vans, Adidas, Android Homme, and Puma for your canvas or sports-based trainers.

The Upper Wear

The jacket you choose to use will define what way your sports luxe outfit goes down. If you want to cater more towards a formal look, you’ll tend to look for blazers and tailored jackets, or for more casual occasions, you’ll look for casual baseball jackets, jumpers, or hoodies.

People are quick to forget that blazers were once called a ‘sports jacket’ and now the sports luxe trend has arrived, designers such as Lanvin have adapted accordingly. Lanvin has used lightweight materials with shortened styles in order to create a jacket that seamlessly fits into sports luxe. It is a smart yet contemporary look but takes sports luxe towards luxury. That is not to say that you can’t look smart with a hoodie or a baseball jacket, as many others will take the comfort route. Use the hoodie or jumper from any collection of men's tracksuits and take advantage of the fitted style, as sports luxe is a huge experiment. Casual can still look smart, so take advantage of the different brands and styles that you have. Look at brands such as Good For Nothing, Gibson London, Topman, and many more to see a variety of casual and smart jackets.

These are only the foundations of a sports luxe outfit, so once you have these fundamentals, you can adapt it in any way you’d like.
