I love that athletic inspired apparel has been trickling into the fashion world as of late. Sneakers, Jerseys, baseball caps, and mesh everything have all made appearances on runways and style icons alike. I'm so happy with this current angle of fashion. Why? One, because it's comfortable, (duh). And two, because as an athlete myself, it allows me to mix more of wardrobe together. For example, I have a blue track jacket that I used to wear exclusively pre and post-workout, that I now work into my day wardrobe. I love the sporty, casual feel as of late, and find that it works quite well with my lifestyle.
But I feel that many people could take this trend too far. You know where this is going. Just because the athletic look is in does not make it okay to where your lounge/workout clothes everywhere or everyday. The key is to have a balance. I certainly don't wear an entire track get-up to school. One must mix and match. I like to add in one sporty element to my look to give it more of an athletic feel that is not too over-the top, and does not make me feel like I'm ready to run marathon. As a general rule of thumb, if you could actually work out in your outfit, don't wear it around.
