7 Ways to Style Sportswear This Summer
As the football championship is in full swing and the Olympic Games in Paris are just around the corner, the summer of 2024 is set to be a season of sports. This is the perfect opportunity to embrace the sporty spirit that has captivated the runways in recent seasons.
The Spring-Summer 2024 collections were filled with sportswear ideas. Stylish polo shirts and ruffled mini skirts were seen at Miu Miu, track pants and vibrant tops inspired evening wear at Ahluwalia, and rugby shirts were paired with sequin-adorned skirts at Dries Van Noten. We've gathered 7 ways to stylishly incorporate sportswear into your wardrobe—get inspired by these fashion shows.
1. Sports Suit
The simplest way to embrace the trend is to go for a full sport look. Balance the sporty elements with strappy sandals and striking sculptural earrings, taking inspiration from Wales Bonner's Spring-Summer collection.
2. Printed Long Sleeve and Denim
Denim pieces have long been a staple in women's wardrobes. This summer, opt for an asymmetric denim skirt paired with a printed long sleeve shirt. Don't forget to add a belt—the must-have accessory of the season.
3. Polo Shirt and Skirt
Polo shirts, embodying the old money aesthetic, are not leaving fashion lovers' wardrobes this year. Pair them with a romantic Rah-Rah skirt, as seen in Miu Miu's collection. On cooler summer days, complement the ensemble with a vibrant jacket.
4. Joggers
Another essential item is joggers, perfect for creating an athleisure look. Fashionistas recommend opting for a dressy model from JW Anderson, paired with a tie-front top.
5. Rugby Shirt and Sparkly Skirt
Combining sporty and feminine elements is a favorite practice of Dries Van Noten. A large striped rugby shirt, a sequin-covered skirt, pumps, and graphic print socks create a chic outfit suitable for any occasion.
6. Cargo Pants and White Shirt
Practical cargo pants can be elegant when paired with a dressy white shirt, as demonstrated by Simone Rocha. Complete the look with trail sneakers or your favorite sandals.
7. Track Pants and Bright Top
Ahluwalia has embraced not only a mix of styles but also a blend of different fabrics. Cotton track pants are complemented by satin, and a satin top features airy tulle sleeves.
