Sports Luxe

Sports-luxe is one of my favourite looks and for good reason - its extremely comfortable, minimalist and stylish. Even designers such as Calvin Klein, Givenchy and Alexander Wang have all embraced the trend. In addition to the designers own collections we have seen an abundance of collaborations between sportswear labels and high-end designers, this is partly thanks to Ronnie Fieg's contribution to mens fashion. The goal is to look athletic but not like you have just been for a run; the aesthetic is a little more elevated and expensive, take on that attitude to nail it.

Inspiration:

If you want some quick inspiration you can check out the asos fashion finder; you can also shop a lot of the looks on the site if you want a no-fuss experience.

To start out with, I'll give you an example of one of my favourite outfits that I own:

As you can see, I like to execute this trend in a monochromatic style with the emphasis on all the different textures of the individual pieces.

To get the look:

• Bomber jacket (This one is by Cheap Monday but you can find similar styles on asos, or you could improvise a Nike windbreaker, the new tech pack is amazing)
• White Tee (This is a raw-hem version from GLM for Lee but I also love MR SIMPLE tees from Kaeho, they're also having a closing sale so you can score a great deal)
• Jogger pants (These are Zanerobe, you can find a great range on Karmaloop)
• Sneakers (These are nike free flyknit 5.0's which are sold out but the 3.0 version or Chukka's are both great alternatives)

Cop list:

These are some products I have on my shopping list right now.

Nike Rose Gold Fuelband

I keep accessories to a minimum when wearing sports luxe but this nike rose gold fuelband is minimal enough to work. 

Buy: Nike (you will need a mail-forwarder) or you can try your luck with eBay

Rick Owens x Adidas

These shoes are amazing, the quality is great and the little details really stand out. 

Buy: Sneakerboy

Kith Bleecker Short

I have been looking for some jersey shorts for so long and these by Kith are amazing, the postage is a little expensive but definitely want to cop these before summer

Buy: Kith

As you can see, the sports-luxe trend is easy, comfortable and stylish and can really work on any budget by keeping it simple. If you try the trend, feel free to tag me on Instagram so I can check it out or tweet me for advice on items or styling.
