Fashionistas rejoice, because the sports luxe trend is staying firmly put in this autumn’s fashion forecast. Thanks to the likes of Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang, whose catwalks were dominated by satin shell suits and funky mesh tops, this cool and comfy look is here to stay.

If you’re looking for a little inspiration to bring out your inner sports star, check out these tips:

Smart Joggers

​

Swap your leggings and skinny jeans for a pair of smart joggers this season. From plain black to striped and printed pieces, this gives a smart twist to the trend.

 

Bomber Jacket

A bomber jacket gives a subtle nod to the sporting look, and will look great with your casual jeans-and-tee look, or dressed up with a pencil skirt.

 

Sneakers

Gone are the days when stepping out in your sneakers was a fashion faux-pas of major proportions. Everyone from fashion editors to top bloggers are trading in their heels for a pair of funky trainers.

 

Metallics

Embrace the metallic look to give a really cool, unique edge to the sports luxe trend. If a bright silver mini skirt or bronze trousers are a tad on the extreme side for you, rock the look with subtle metallic accents.

 

Mesh

From letterman vests to jerseys and cover-ups, a neutral mesh piece will go with everything this season. A good tip is to try experimenting with layering different textures together for a creative look.
