Are you sports-shy? If so, fear not. There are many of us out there who are sport-allergic, or even just sport-averse. However, with the catwalk full of lovely sporty clothes and celebrities being seen at football and tennis matches in their droves, it is easy to see why sports-chic is catching on quickly. Here are some reasons you should consider a more sporty look right now.
Sporty = Nonchalant
Let’s face it, we all find it difficult to recreate that thrown-on look that models have on the runway. But sporty clothes somehow make that easier. Imagine, if you will, an oversized boyfriend T-shirt with rolled sleeves thrown over a pair of ripped denims. Probably the easiest, quickest way to give yourself an air of cool, minus the fuss. Want to milk the sports trend even more? Head over to a football betting site to brush up on the odds for upcoming matches. Then, wow your sporty mates with your encyclopaedic knowledge of players and fixtures for the season ahead. In a nonchalant way, of course.
Sports Jackets Are Way Cool
Those of you who were addicted to any form of American high school drama as youngsters will know the yearning that arrived every time one of the cheerleaders was given her jock boyfriend’s baseball jacket to wear. Well, yearn no longer! These little jackets are now the hottest thing for a girl to wear, and the good news is you don’t have to wait for a guy to come along and give you one. Whilst all of the high street shops are stocking them, give yourself the edge by heading to a vintage shop and picking up something retro to drape over your shoulders instead.
Give Those Tootsies A Break
Slip-ons with no support, heels with ankle breaking height, sling backs that bring blisters…Now that sporty gear is in fashion, those tired feet can finally get a break from the endless parade of uncomfortable shoes. Why? Because it’s time to dust off those trainers and wear them with pride. Trainers are seen everywhere these days from nightclubs to bars and even lining the chairs at fashion week. You can even dress them up with blingy accessories and pop them on with little dresses. Never has a Saturday shopping trip felt so good.
Bad Hair Days Banished
Your hair is also going to thank you for the sporty trend, because thanks to the humble baseball cap and beanie, bad hair days can become a thing of the past. Baseball caps look great with a sleek ponytail and can also be worn at a jaunty angle for a skater-girl look. Beanies are a godsend on those cold winter mornings and look brilliant with just about anything, from cosy knitwear to hoodies.
No Need For Faux-Pas
Now that the sports look is fashionable, there’s no longer any need to dread being dragged to a football match or a family sports day. These events are now just another great excuse to parade your sports-luxe look! You’ll no longer stick out like a sore thumb and your boyfriend’s mates will have a new-found respect for your laid-back fashion credentials. It’s a win-win situation!
