Sporty Goes Chic

Call it, fashion revolution. Designers have geared up with reinventions for the sporting world. This spring, get ready for stylish hoodies, anoraks, track pants and T-shirt dresses de rigueur - add a little style to your sports wear collection. Stella McCartney’s Adidas collection is so 2006. Here are some sporty chic looks from the runway:


What’s sports wear without a hoodie? Jean Paul Gaultier’s bold and contrasting colors sets the standard for this Spring’s collection. This is definitely my favourite and shirt dresses? I love it.


I absolutely heart this. Marni’s tunic paired with cropped leggings, how ingenious. It stretches the boundaries of sporting style. Time to let your imagination run wild.


Yo dawg. DKNY’s t-shirt dress has ‘casual’ and ‘comfort’ written all over it. Go logos! Nice laced up shoes, as well.


Inspired by the Ballerina, Vera Wang maintains the feminity in this design. The model looks so docile.


Be bold with this electrifying green wrap jacket by Dries Van Noten.


We want more hoodies! This shimmery silver hoodie by Felipe Oliveira Baptista expands its function from casual to something more. I could wear this to a party.

Bedazzled!

Due to overwhelming global warming, you can now don your spring clothes early this year! Though this is little cause for rejoice, since designers have gone back to the chic retro look of the 1960’s, you can instill the spirit of the inner protester in you, a la retro fashion while trying to save the world. Unlike the big flowery prints in the 60’s, the Designers have decided to razzle dazzle you with all things bright and shiny this Spring. The sparkle will be in every color and shape and yes, ladies, chunky shoes are coming back too - more on that later.
