Sportswear, in the minds of many, is not mainly reminiscent of a fashion trend. Many of us see sportswear as simply a casual attire choice for those who are in a rush and are not aiming to be fashion conscious. Within the past couple of years, sportswear has been gaining momentum as a fashion trend. Clearly emphasizing simple and minimal design, sportswear is becoming one of the most important fashion trends of the 2013 spring and summer season.
Athletic wear is no longer highlighting specific sports; it has become the must have casual chic look of the upcoming seasons. The latest sports attire fashion trend has evolved to the point that the only thing sporty about the look is its simplicity and slick design. The spring 2013 season transforms sports fashion into an elegant and sophisticated styling.
Sports Luxe
With the international recognition of the Olympics in the 2012 summer season, it was no surprise to see sports fashion become a trend. The Sports Luxe trend was in full Olympic fever last year and is seeing a strong resurgence in the 2013 season.
Bright neon colours and hi-tops are a classic sporty fashion must have. The best sporty chic look is achieved by mixing some simple glamour. You don’t want to look like you’re just headed to the gym. Balance the look by mixing some great sporty pieces with some simple elegant pieces.
