Chic Athletic
The new cool this summer is sporting a refreshing look that’s taking chic active in a unique kind of edge. One of the trends this season is the reinvention of athletic, taking inspiration from surfing, scuba diving or karate. In the recent Spring-Summer ‘10 collections, sports was spotted in Alexander Wang’s chic football frenzy, Gucci’s scubacentric appeal, Proenza Schouler’s wild surfing adventures, Versace’s aquatic wonder and Michael Kors’ sexy water babes. Modernized in body-con silhouettes, the latest sporty look is all about being sexy. Either flattering or covering up those prized curves, the overall fashion-forward feel is redefining and “sexifying” aesthetics in a whole new light. Sleek shapes in up-to-date classics define mod stylish athleticism. Reworking anew, fabrication is taking a big leap as it breaks away from the traditional. Dressing up in modern athletic fashion is all about the fusing and mix-matching of textures in both the conventional and unconventional fabrics. Colors in nudes, pastels and mixed neutrals paint these energetic inspired pieces in playful easy-to-wear updates. Sportswear is making a strong statement of sexy sophistication that’s moving into our closet with the must-have adrenaline style.
