The sports style has no equal in popularity this season and will never have one: sneakers, joggers, crop tops and even sports dresses have literally found their way into our dressing rooms and, it seems, have no intention of leaving. The 80s, which are often considered the most “tacky” era of the last century, also reached their culmination this season: jackets with wide shoulders, an abundance of denim and other signs of the era set the fashion of spring and summer no less.
But is there something that will combine the two trends into one? The first to come to mind are colorful leggings, which, however, still remain too extravagant a wardrobe solution. The second are the simplest Olympic jerseys, familiar to each of us since post-Soviet childhood.
Strictly speaking, an Olympic jersey is just the upper part of a tracksuit, which has long ceased to be exclusively a sports uniform. It is often worn separately, and not only with ordinary blue jeans. Even a pleated skirt can be paired with it: this was proven by one of the most famous stylists on the planet, Giovanna Battaglia. However, a suit is also possible. If you decide to wear a tracksuit and trousers together, look how Zendaya did it: the young actress, getting ready for the show of the autumn-winter collection of Michael Kors, added a pair of heels and a sleeveless trench coat to a scarlet tracksuit with a tracksuit - another one great way strip the running uniform of its purely athletic connotations.
Like everything else that is most fashionable, the sports jacket is worn by the main top models of our time. Kendall Jenner wears a bright yellow sweatshirt from Balenciaga with classic gray jeans; Gigi Hadid mixes it with a black hoodie and nylon trousers, and Bella Hadid wears it with white ones. In pink tracksuit Rihanna was spotted back in September last year: her outfit is part of the Fenty Puma spring-summer collection. Style all these beautiful girls without things in sporty style is simply unthinkable, so the Olympic jersey fits perfectly into it.
This spring and summer, the Olympic jacket will be an excellent alternative to the bomber jacket, which, let’s be honest, everyone is already bored to death. The rules of combination are the same: a sports jacket will go not only with jeans, but also with classic straight trousers, light dresses, long skirts along with a crop top, mini and everything that you are used to wearing in the warm season. Eclecticism rules the roost, and sport only helps it.

As for the material, polyester is usually used for sewing sports jackets, but it is not the only possible option. Olympic shorts made of thin nylon will look no worse: they convey the ninth decade of the 20th century as accurately as possible.

Modern fashion allows us a lot, but even in such a democratic world we need talent and a sense of beauty to harmoniously combine the incongruous.
website collected 10 key style mistakes based on the example of celebrities that should be avoided.
1. Two or more oversized items in one look
Freedom and convenience are in fashion, so it is not surprising that oversized items have been at the peak of popularity for several seasons now. But you should avoid combining two loose-fitting items, otherwise you risk turning into a shapeless figure. A few rules:
- The item should be 2 sizes larger. If you have high growth, then you can choose clothes 3-4 sizes larger than yours.
- Best colors - neutral and pastel.
- Don't overload your look with accessories.
2. Sheer tights + winter clothes
Don't imitate catwalk models who often show off fur coats nylon tights or without them at all. This stylistic idea is fundamentally at odds with the realities of ordinary life.
Rules for how to wear warm tights with classic clothes:
- Thick tights in light colors look great on the catwalk, but usually don’t look good in real life. Give preference to dark colors.
- If you choose a dark-colored dress and black shoes, do not wear sheer nude tights. Give preference to thick black tights.
- The pattern on tights should not “cut” the leg horizontally with a striped pattern or sharp color transitions, because such an effect makes legs shorter and wider.
- Modern fashion allows us to break the rule: the more “airy” your dress looks, the thinner and more inconspicuous your tights should be.
3. Leather pants + leather boots + leather jacket
Leather items have long taken pride of place in our wardrobe. But we must remember that the best is the enemy of the good. To avoid being accused of lack of taste, we offer an alternative:
- Leather pants can be replaced with black ones tight trousers (dark jeans), complement with an elongated chiffon blouse and pumps.
- A win-win combination there will be leather pants + white T-shirt, denim shirt and moccasins.
- Play with contrasts. A rough biker jacket and a dress made of light chiffon are a surprisingly harmonious image.
- If you want to add openwork top and sandals leather trousers, then choose a product made of matte leather.
4. Beret + sports jacket
There is no more incompatible option than a beret and a down jacket. But most often difficulties arise when choosing a headdress for a sports jacket or down jacket, and this is why such a mistake arises. Here's what will perfectly complement a down jacket:
- Knitted set of scarf, mittens and hat.
- Hat with ear flaps. It will be great if the fur on it matches the color and quality of the fur on the down jacket.
- Snood. It will replace both a hat and a warm scarf.
5. Sweatpants + pumps
This combination was spotted by fashion designers of famous houses, but you need to understand that the runway version looks strange in Everyday life. So how to wear sweatpants and look cool?
- Will look best loafers, combat boots and other men's style shoes.
- Do you want a heel? Then It is better to choose shoes with massive heels.
- Combination sweatpants and a jacket. Choose non-cotton pants, and from genuine leather and complete the look with a white T-shirt.
6. Short top + leggings instead of jeans or trousers
Leggings are a controversial wardrobe item, but still have a right to exist. However, you should not combine it with a short top. What to wear with leggings:
- Long shirts, tunics and sweaters, and short dresses are suitable.
- Pay attention to the material of the leggings: it should be dense and non-transparent.
7. Wedge sneakers + skinny jeans
Wedge sneakers were in fashion 5-7 years ago. In combination with skinny jeans they begin to resemble a hoof. What shoes to choose for skinny jeans:
- Elegant stiletto heels.
- Short ankle boots on high heels.
- Suede boots paired with a turtleneck sweater.
8. Knee-length skirt + knee-length boots
Male image
If you don’t need to adhere to a strict dress code in the office, you can easily get by with one classic item of clothing – tapered trousers. Complement them with a voluminous men's sweatshirt in a deep, calm color.
This look is suitable for girls with narrow hips or a slightly defined waist. But for those with feminine curves, it’s better to combine a voluminous sweatshirt with skinny jeans or leather leggings.
Any sneakers or sneakers will fit perfectly into this look, and to make the look evening, change your sports shoes to classic pumps.

Trousers – Sisley

Romantic image
An ideal look for a date, light and feminine. Any voluminous skirt, be it pleated or frilled, can be combined with a sweatshirt. Here you can play with textures and colors as you like, but there is one thing - the sweatshirt must end no lower than the waistline, otherwise the wrong proportion will be created. If your favorite sweatshirt is longer, tuck the hem into your skirt.
This look is suitable for girls with a pear or rectangle figure. A sweatshirt will visually expand flat or narrow shoulders, and a voluminous skirt will round out the hips.
Sandals with wide, comfortable heels complement the look well. But only very slender girls should combine sneakers with a skirt.
On model:
Sweatshirt – Puma
Skirt – Sekana, Branduri de Moldova
Sneakers – Adidas Originals (property of the stylist).
Sandals – United Colors of Benetton
Bag – Furla brand store
Evening look
The classic version of a pencil skirt goes well with an sweatshirt. If the sweatshirt reaches waist level, just button it up and don’t even pick up a special top. In our case, the sweatshirt is long, so I picked up a top to balance the proportions.
This look not only suits all body types, but also visually lengthens the silhouette. Even sneakers won't shorten your legs! But if you want to look elegant, still choose stiletto heels.
This skirt can also be combined with a sweatshirt, but only fragile girls can afford this, because the sweatshirt creates additional volume.

Fashion for healthy image life and the desire for comfort contributed to the expansion of sports equipment beyond gyms. The principles of eclecticism and freedom of expression on the catwalks provided her with must-have status and gave her the right to participate in any casual and eccentric outfits. Let's figure out how to wear sportswear using examples from heroines of street-style chronicles.
trousers
Sweatpants turned out to be completely unpretentious, and they have every chance of easily settling into an everyday wardrobe. The most popular models are with bright stripes, loose fit or tapered with cuffs. Most often they are worn with feminine blouses, including open-shoulder ones, and heels. In words, this combination contradicts traditional aesthetic canons, but in life it looks harmonious due to compliance with the proportions of the outfit. Thus, wide trousers are balanced by a voluminous top with decoration, and skinny trousers are balanced by a blouse with an emphasis on the waist.
hoodie and sweatshirt
When looking for an answer to the question of what to wear with sportswear, you should turn to the basics. Under a jacket, coat and trouser suit, instead of a blouse or jumper, you can wear a knitted sweatshirt - this technique diversifies business outfits. Great company leather skirt, short shorts and a hoodie for trousers - for more relaxed everyday looks.
sneakers
The fashion community's interest in sports equipment began with sneakers, and they are still at the peak of popularity, which is not surprising, because now suitable model can be found for both a trouser suit and a chiffon dress. However, there are no strict rules, only freedom of expression and comfort.
bomber jacket
How else to wear sportswear? Let's answer the question using a sweatshirt as an example. Top made of thick cotton with a round neckline and cuffs - ideal for casual outfits, so combinations with a pleated skirt, wide trousers and jeans will always be appropriate. Sweatshirts with bright inscriptions and logos are especially chic.
