How To Achieve A Chic, Sporty Fashion Look - Cashmere, Wool and Silk directory

Several stylish sports clothes have been invented specifically for the gym and outside. Anything that is sports-inspired is the hottest dressing of the season. You can make a classic combo by adding a pair of special pumps to your pair of leggings with a shirt dress and with racer strips.

You can also opt for a tasteful, modish, and snazzy look with active pants, a tennis skirt, or even yoga pants. Be sure of what you are looking for: plain cardigans, ballet references, track pants, tennis inspirations, zip ups, easy cut tee shirts, side stripes, stretchy fabric, drawstrings, etc.

Shorts are the fashion spotlight of this season's sportswear. However, these are not the casual ones normally worn to the beach or the gym. The new shorts being introduced in the market are available with trendy tailored designs.

This leg-baring trend usually involves the silk-lined, linen, and crisp cotton shorts, which can be seen turning up at restaurants, parties, and surprisingly, even offices.

Moreover, you don't need being too particular about wearing the 'right' sporty shorts. You can select from a wide variety of ankle trousers, skinny long shorts, short shorts, cropped pants, and the shortened version of cargo pants.

This season's most popular are the latest version of the Bermuda shorts. They have become the perfect replacements for trousers. They have left cropped trousers far behind in terms of popularity with their perfect length that ends right at the knees.

However, throwing on a pair of trendy shorts, baggy tee or a pair of wind pants is not enough for a chic, sporty fashion look. You need to consider the following pointers to successfully pull off that desirable look:

* For a classic sporty edge, opt for tops bearing some smartly printed crest or number patch. A good choice can be going for a top with your favourite football player's number as a clever token of admiration.

* Instead of putting on your old trustworthy jean jacket on a cold winter day, try going for a classic warm-up jacket, something like the vintage collection of Adidas.

* Even if you don't know how exactly Rugby is played doesn't mean you can't go for a striking preppy uniform. You can look for some stretch, wide-striped rugby top and pair it with a schoolgirl mini to achieve that smart, chic, sporty appearance.

* Funky two-toned (sleeveless, capped, or elbow-length) basketball tees also look casual and chic. You can pair it with printed or khaki trousers to look all the more funky.

* Your plus size sportswear tracksuits aren't supposed to be baggy. A preferable choice would be a trim and fitted tracksuit that goes well with your top. Loose pants can be an option as long as you don't sling it too wide or too low.

* You also need to consider your socks to ensure wearing a perfect sportswear. One of the most recommended options would be super-low anklets, especially those that are more golf-styled with a little bit of fuzzy trim at their back. Wearing the wrong socks is the worst thing you could do to ruin a pair of trendy trainers.
