The Sartorialist
One trend I can definitely get behind is the infiltration of sportswear into high fashion. The funny thing is, i'm not particularly sporty, but there's something so inviting about wearing your sporty separates - hoodies, sweatshirts, converse runners, track pants - with the rest of your crazy clothes. My favourite recent purchase is definitely my Bonds sweatshirt in the perfect grey marle. With the sleeves rolled up it goes perfectly with everything in my closet and provides the best neutral base for some of the crazier things I like to wear... If you look carefully at these pictures, you'll notice that the sportswear is almost indistinguishable from the high fashion. In the first picture, the hoodie just barely pokes out over the top of her tweed blazer. Maybe she added it for warmth? Or maybe she just likes the feel of the fleece against skin. That's the thing about sportswear - once you pop you can't stop. It really is addictive. Adding a hoodie for warmth is the first step down a road that includes wearing your tracksuit pants with this seasons must-have camel coat and clutch for a fashion show and then converse and a slouchy white tee with palazzo pants in the summer. I've recently started wearing my converse - scruffy and perfect - again, and I have to say there is something so fantastic about wearing shoes that let you really STOMP and RUN around. Ballet flats are all good and well, but sometimes real shoes are needed. Shoes that let you get things done.
Wearing your sportsgear outside of the gym or the running track used to be the biggest criminal offence in fashion. Now it is the height of chic to mix your bonds sweatshirt with an alaia skirt - just as Garance Dore, who wore a running shirt with red red lips and big hoop earrings to the Dolce and Gabbana fashion show last September. It's funny how fashion is constantly changing, but that's what makes it so interesting, of course. The biggest trick to mastering this trend is not going too crazy with matching jogging suits and all that. Just a hint of athletic will do the trick. And don't be afraid to mix it up - converse can be just as chic with pants as they can be with a midi length structured skirt, or an itty-bitty lace dress. Well... it's almost enough to make you want to go for a run, isn't it?
