The Style Guru: Team Player

Fashion favorites Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney have begun a race to show off as many Olympic-inspired designs on the runway as possible. With last summer’s trends being busy and loaded with color, this sports silhouette makes for a fresh change. This trend includes racer-front vests, two-tone crop tops, and loose jersey pants that can be dressed up with heels. The color palettes are pastels, whites, and bright hues that are reminiscent of a basketball player’s changing room.

Girly girls are welcome to get in touch with their sporty side because the colors are fresh and youthful. Sheer floaty fabrics can be styled in a relaxed, simple way. Cropped and cut-out sportswear can be worn with a pretty dress and trainers.  Tie your hair up in a sleek pony tail and you’re good to go. It’s more about grown-up, confident women and less teen-tomboy.

 

 

If your style is more urban, you’ll be in your element.  Think neon accents, modern silhouettes and street-inspired styling.  Relaxed tailoring looks great with casual wear.  For that, “I just threw this together” appearance, go for minimalist pieces and mix them up with casual sports wear.  Don’t bother with matching neon accessories; bright colors and crisp whites can all be worn in the same outfit.
